Digital Cameras

There is endless info on the web on digital cameras and I've scoured quite a bit of it. A couple of digital cameras I've read about, suitable for the type of photography I like:
  1. Nikon D70 DSLR. Everything seems good about it. I don't like the small viewfinder but agree one can get used to it. Basically I'm looking for a APS sensor body and 35mm f2 lens for 50mm photography. I've read the Canon EOS 20d combination will be noisier than the Nikon D70 combination. Good rebates at this time. The Nikon setup is around $1200 after rebate.
  2. Contax U4R. Recently released, $500 . Shirt pocket camera 35mm-105mm f2.8-4.7. Seems like a good camera, can be very discreet. Maybe use it like a TLR!
They are at two ends of the spectrum. One is ultra-capable and the other ultra-portable.
