Nikon D70 DSLR, could use some advice with regards to accessories
Hi all,
I bought the Nikon D70 for my wife for xmas as she is really big into digital photography and she really wanted to upgrade to a DSLR from our current HP 850 Photosmart camera. She's the expert in digital photography though, I know next to nothing beyond what button to press to take a picture. So a couple of questions about potential accessories as follows:
a. I was looking at getting a 512MB Lexar compact flash card from tigerdirect, is there any benefit to getting one with a speed of 80x versus 40x with respect to the D70?
b. She does a lot of macro photography in our garden in the summer (flowers, insects, etc). Is the stock lens sufficient for this or would a macro lens be useful and if so what lens? Also, we have a Nikon F65 with a stock lens 28-105 which warpdrive indicated translated to 42-158 on the D70, is this sufficient for macro?
b. What other accessories would be considered must have, I see a lot of people get UV filters for example? She already has a nice bag, lens cleaner, etc from the F65.
Thanks for any advice, trying to make this a special xmas for my wife with this surprise.
