        Nikon D70s will continue to be in my bag for a long time.
        I've shot the D90 and D7000 for extended periods of time and could buy either but until the FX hits the street at a more reasonable price, I'm keeping my D70s. I will have a hard time letting go of the funds it would take for the minimum improvement the D90 or D7000 would provide for the pictures I get with the D70s...
        Nikon D70s is a great camera and video ain't my cup of tea.

        Hi Leo, yes the D70 has a focus motor, see the Nikon D70 specs page!
