I agree with Michael.

You could also get the now old Canon EOS 350D for quite cheap (check ebay) or the new 400D which is also quite affordable.
Sigma lenses are also cheap and does the trick for me.

I am a Canon guy... :-)

I would like to upgrade to the D200, but can't do that until I unload the
D70s.

thanks,

Take a look at the Canon IXUS series.

Which will not answer your question:

we use actually a Nikon D200 with fisheye for HDR shooting. Awesome!
The camera captures in full RAW quality 9 frames in a row in different
programmed exposures. Plus JPEG backup.
This was a logical investment because due short schedules on set to do our
job between some shootings it's now running fast and perfect.
Before that we used the D70. Had been also fine.

But once you start with a good camera you end up in necessary investments in
a professional tripod, L-bracket, remote control, more lenses like telephoto
for a shooting with bearing balls and and and. At the end a setup like this
ends up in > EUR 3.000,00. But if you do just a few supervision tasks on set
in a year it's worth this investment.
