[...] The aarti is a pleasant ritual of worshipping the Ganga. Around 50-100 people visit the aarti on any day.

I hate to jump in but the D70 is bieng replaced by D80 – a much better camera and will cost around 1000$ but if u r cash strapped go with canon and buy a rebel XT before it is discontinued.

Lovely pictures Arun and I admire the patience you showed with the salesman.

I need a help Arun. I want to upgrade my camera, I use a point and shoot Nikon and am thinking of a Nikon D 70 now. But it is just too expensive. Can you suggest some digital SLR or should I cough up for a D70?
