I am considering going digital, and the choice is a Nikon D70 or a Canon EOS 10D. The Canon 300D is out of the frame for various reasons. The Canon 10D appeals due to good price, good build, and Canon lenses being much cheaper than Nikon. Even though I have some Nikon lenses, the price difference is such that a swap is feasible. Also Canon also seem to have a technological lead over Nikon.
However I do a lot of macro work with flash. Can the Canon flash (both built-in and external) cope with fill flash for objects at about 6-12" from the lens or does it over-expose?
Secondly, to use RAW files on the D70, the user must pay ~£100 for Nikon Capture. Thus the true cost of the Nikon D70 is body + software. Do Canon supply the software to manipulate RAW files, or is this an extra cost?
Lastly, I would use a Nikon 28mm lens on the Canon 10D in stop down mode (the optics are so good I don't want to sell it). A Novoflex adaptor will allow the lens to be mounted on the Canon body. Although metering will not work, will the TTL flash work with this lens?
Thanks in advance.
