A lot of Nikon shooters have good things to say about this e-book:

http://www.bythom.com/d70guide.htm

It's $35 in the U.S., $40 elsewhere (U.S. dollars). Note that you
don't get a physical book. I own neither the camera nor the book,
so this recommendation is strictly secondhand.

Congrats on your purchase, I hope you enjoy it.

Sometimes it only makes sense to focus our attention on those
questions that are equal parts trivial and intriguing.

I will look for both. I know there are advantages to ebooks and hard copy.
Maybe I need both! Maureen

www.nikonians.org
(they have bulletin boards for almost any Nikon and related topic -
IMHO better and more useful than this and other newsgroups)

http://www.bythom.com/nikon.htm
(mostly reviews and technical info)

and the following assortment of links, some Nikon-specific, some
generic knowledge, some manufacturers of accessories and equipment
(which may be useful to know it's there, or to get ideas if you are
into building your own homemade accessories). Some of these links have
an emphasis on macro and scientific photography because this is what I
do.
