Also, and I hate to double post, but it's probably better than an edit: really the only point of getting a prime in the range of your zoom is to force yourself to compose to the specification of your lens instead of relying on the zoom to adjust your composition. The other advantage is a prime might be faster, that is have a lower f-stop and let in more light which could be advantageous if you really need it (you probably don't) or you wanted less depth of field. Anyway, a D70 w/ kit lens will by no means hold you back. Basically any SLR / DSLR is a Ferrari for someone getting started in photography because the images they make are good enough for 99% of applications and taking good pictures is 99% skill based 1% equipment based and there's a shitton to learn / practice before you can even get remotely decent. Don't fall into the bling game unless you're rich, it will make you a worse photographer overall unless your camera is defective / missing features you NEED (it probably isn't).
