Be careful of the lenses you buy. It is  my understanding that the cheaper 
Canon lenses
can leave something to be desired in terms of sharpness. Research lens 
options carefully,
and only buy lenses from a dealer that will allow you to return them if you 
are unsatisfied.

Also, it was just noted today, that Nikon is readying a 10 MP replacement 
for their D70
within a couple of weeks. But then, again, sometimes you can wait for the 
latest greatest
for quite a while.
