advice needed:
I am going on safari and presently own a Nikon F401s SLR with variety of lenses. I am thinking of buying a Nikon digital SLR, either D100 or D70 and am enquiring if the results will be anywhere near as good as the SLR shots. I have been told the AF lenses i own should be compatible with the digital camera. Anybody made the switch?

thanks much for replies. I have checked the prices of the Nikon D100 and best price is around £1000 for the body, which was in Hong Kong. I have heard that the D70 is almost as good and bit cheaper also lighter. Think this compares favourably with UK although not sure that the packages are identical.
