They're out there on the market.
From what I've seen the D70s is not a huge upgrade, pretty small one actually. And downtown I can get a superb deal on the D70, so I'm probably going to go for this one. (cheaper than 350D and almost as cheap as the 300D)

D50 didn't impress me that much, but I'm not sure of the price yet, so we'll see :)

wow cool stuff. the d70s wasn't really supposed to be an upgrade, more of an update. i'm really excited now, i can't wait to see what the firmware update has to offer.

First D70s improvements i noticed was.

LCD screen is bigger. 2" vs. 1.8" om the D70
Reduced shutter fro m1/8000 to 1/4000

Other that that they are pretty similar to eachother.
