Hahaha, waiting has never disturbed me my friend.
Well I like the way that you prepare for a new camera and my only criteria was that I wnted a camera that was able to get a close big full moon shot. Thus far tt has done all of the things for me that I wanted to get.
Yes, I have 4 needs for my new camera- to do macro, astral, lightpainting and moon- anything that I have that zoom range in.
I did ask the local camera shop to check the canon 70 because I could not find one iota in on even their website about the features in manual mode, but the guys at the shop confirmed no bulb and very little functions in manual, whereas the Nikon can do it all.
Great, then it sounds like the Nikon is the ideal camera for you.

Yes but then so many people are telling me to go for the interchangeable lens bodies...
I will cross that bridge when it comes to it...
Whatever works for you is what you should seek.
The reason why I didn't want a camera with interchangeable lenses is that lenses are very expensive.
Yes exactly- and heavy.
I remember back in the mid 80's when I worked in camerahouses selling the complete camera as 1 package for 1 price, and then if you wanted extra lenses, ofcourse they would cost extra.
That was in the days when you paid just the one price for a loaded ham/salad sandwich.
Now you pay for every component separately, which works out to be a hell of a lot more expensive and that sandwich which used to be $5-6 is now $10-12 for the same ingredients, like they way that cameras are now sold...
The difference is that now people pay 10 times more for the lenses than one did for the camera body.
So no, I am happy with my camera.
Yeah so true and that to me is one of the best selling points to BUY a bridge camera and NOT a body + lenses (that's NOT a proper sandwich is it..🤣..)
