I suspect that they'd be into the 5-700 price range, inasmuch as I 
don't think they would care about the marginal difference an extra 
$1000 would make above that.  As I understand it, the current crop in 
that $700 or so range is pretty amazing - certainly lots better than 
their old D70.

Does anyone really need 24 megapixels?  Is that what we're up to now?  
I thought the quality-vs-quantity thing was settled and now we were 
more focused on quality.  How big those files must be.  I'll suggest 
they take a look at the D3200.  Just looked at it on dpreview and it 
looks like a pretty smart replacement for their old D70.

Thanks!  Very helpful.  Hopefully, I'll get a few more years out of my 
D-90.  I've really been enjoying it.
