Advice on Prosumer Upgrade

[61Dynamic]

Would anyone have any other suggestions and will I really see such a difference in quality?

You'll see a huge increase in quality and you'll be able to expand your services to more demanding clients.

> Nikon has a better selection of wide angle lenses for digital

Although at an entry level a Canon 20D with the new 10-22 looks very attractive for interior work. 16mm on a 1.6x body is marginal for interior work - you need something at least in the low 20's equiv range and the wider the better the options.

I shoot mainly interior pictures for 72 dpi (and occasionally fo rmagazine quality). I shoot mainly without a flash. Have been very happy with a Canon G2 but wanted to upgarde to a prosumer camera like the Nikon D70 or Canon EOS 20D. Have done some research and both cameras have pros and cons. To a certain extent I do not need the 6 or 8 million pixels and I very much liked shooting using the LCD as a view finder on the G2 (especially in tight corners). It is also a major jump in price (particularly for the wide angle lens). Would anyone have any other suggestions and will I really see such a difference in quality?

If you don't have any 35mm equipment or lenses you have a lot of flexibility.  Both systems have good and bad points.  The D70 is quite versatile with flash sync which may help you.

If you are shooting interiors with a digicam you will have an immediate increase in image quality due to the much lower noise in the DSLR.  
Nikon has a better selection of wide angle lenses for digital, however third party manufacturers are filling the gap.
