I owned a D70s and I recently upgraded to a D200. The 200 is a more robust tool for the demanding photographer with its larger sensor and better build. If you are just shooting pics of the kids, etc., it's probably not worth the expense. But if you are a more demanding advanced shooter, the D200 is a better tool.

Perry... both cameras have same sensor size (APS-C). Both sensors are Sony, but one is 6 mp, and the other one is 10 mp.
Mp is not the biggest issue... how big will you print a pic? up to 6 x 4 foot, both cameras will do it perfect.
BUT... there are other things that you should take into account. The image procesor is much better the one in the D200, and you've some features that only the D200 and the DX2've got.
I'd say that it just depends on your needs. The Nikon D200 is a better camera, but if you don't need that image procesor, or a that fast srl response and features... stay with the D70. Or, in case you want an upgrade... go for the D80 with the 18-200 mm lens...
Hope to be helpfull,
Alan.
