[...] When I wrote a sort of DSLR camera guide a few months back, I seem to have just skipped over Minolta’s DSLR line. I didn’t even give it a brief mention in passing like I did with Olympus and then explained why I skipped it in favor of Canon or Nikon. No, I just ignored Minolta altogether. [...]

I’ve mostly been looking at prices online, where the D50 is pretty significantly cheaper than the D70. According to Pricegrabber, the D50 body is available for around $550 + shipping from reputable sites. The D70 is around $750 from the same sites.

I wonder if there’s just a rash of places looking to closeout the D70 and replace it with the “newer model”, even if that newer model doesn’t really measure up to the older one.

I completely forgot about the D70s when writing up my summary, probably because, as you mentioned, they’re really pretty much identical. The D70s has a slightly larger LCD screen, and that’s about it. You can grab an updated firmware for the D70 to give you some of the other features of the D70s, I believe. Basically what it came down to was that it’s not really worth looking at the D70s.

Don’t know what it’s like where you live, but the Nikon D50 is actually *more* expensive than the rapidly dwindling stock of the better specced D70 (superseded by the virtually identical – and again more expensive D70s). What a marketing scam!
