I believe the metering is different, the D70 meters using a 1005 pixel sensor, where as the D80 uses a 420 pixel sensor. Which I believe means the D70 has more information from the extra pixel count of it's sensor to ascertain the correct exposure than the D80.

Yes I'd noticed that they are gaining in value, but mine are definitly 'used' from what I recall :lol: At the moment I'm rather busy at home to even think of digging them out, let alone thinking about taking it up again.......besides, a few more years down the line may add a few more £'s :D

Fond memories indeed :) Used to race 1/10th back in the late 80's. Started with a Tamiya Rough rider (they're worth quite a bit now I hear). Moved to a Hotshot, then ended with an Associated RC10 .....still got them in the loft somewhere :thinking:

My first car was a Series IIA lightweight with truck cab.......which after a while I replaced the old 2 1/4 with a Rover V8, & the diffs with Range Rover ones :D The thing went very well, caught out many a boy racer :D However the downsside was the half shafts only lasted about 6 months :lol: I...

In no particular order;- AC Cobra Ford GT40 Jaguar E Type Audi R8 .....oh, & straying slightly off topic into motorcycles;- Honda RC30 :D

Grow a beard & have a liking for donuts :D

As above, good news in the end.......but in the meantime a little something to make you smile ;) :D Linky

We retired at the end of 2008 so I guess it's unlikely you'll see it there again. In the later years when ever we had trips to the Channel Isles we spent most of the time off Jersey & St. Malo. The diving is better & I'm afraid to say that the harbour authority in Gurnsey weren't that helpful if...

You may have seen this anchored there sometime in the last 20yrs or so, was my day (& quite often night:lol:) job until late 2008 :D;-

Havelet Bay by any chance?

I think you've taken my point out of context. The problem we have here isn't that the council don't grit the roads, they do. But our road is a minor one that a gritting lorry would be unable to navigate. As I said, we Did have a grit bin in the road, but when the road was resurfaced it was...

That's nothing to do with the point I was making which was that we already pay for gritting. Surely the local aurthority has a duty of care to the people......it's customers. If I/we are to have to start paying for everything in the street then there's going to have to be a reducion in taxes.

True, but why should I/we? Surely this is something that should be provided by the local aurthority/council? .......in fact it used to until recently!!!

The road I live on is just wide enough for two cars to pass each other with about 6 inches or so to spare either side, & as you go down the road it starts a gradually steepening decent with a left hand bend at the bottom. Because of this, & that it's not a major road, the gritting lorry can't...

Only had mine since March/April time & haven't really used it that much, been too busy :'( But what little I have used it, I've been very, very impressed :D I'd agree to some extent, but it's no where near as bad as my previous D80 was for overexposing. I upgraded from a D70 to the D80 & was...
