I'm still a beginner when it comes to photography. I got a bridge camera last Christmas so I could start to learn more about composition and the techniques of photography. I've been hoping to upgrade to a DSLR soon and saw this one on Craigslist. I think it's a good deal but I'm not sure.

Nikon D70 Digital SLR camera with 6.24 megapixel resolution with 18-70 mm F-3.5-4.5 G lens with cables, CD, Battery and Charger; Instruction book and Magic Lantern Book. Additional Nikon Autofocus lens 70-300 F-4-5.6 G(zoom). All are in excellent condition, the camera has been cleaned in the last month by professional camera shop. 350$

I'm afraid I don't know much about the D70 or if it would be a good choice for me though. Most of the beginner threads are either D40 or Digital Rebel and I don't read much about the D70 on here. Think I should contact this person? This is through Craigslist by the way. The price might slide a bit too with some negotiation. What does /p/ think of the D70 for someone who is still fairly new to photography but wants to upgrade to a system with a better sensor and design?
