I also shoot the D70 when on dry ground - but a point and shoot digital on 
the water.  Simply, (as you probably do) I use the lowest ISO setting I can 
possibly use.  You are correct that the P&S do not handle higher 
sensitivities worth a dang.  On the D70, you can crank it up well over 800 
if necessary and still have passable image quality.  Also, be aware that 
the ISO values are very different.  The bottom end on the Nikon CP8700 is 
"50" but the bottom end on the D70 is "200".  I can say from owning one 
that the 8700 can't go much over "100" without starting to really look bad 
in my opinion.  So 200 on the D70 is not the same as 200 on a P&S.

Not sure that helps you much.  Seems to me that Photoshop has a image 
balancing filter or feature - load in an image and it will adjust 
subsequent images to "match".  Haven't used it but might be useful for your 
task at hand.

Who just today dropped his D70 for the first time...on carpet...but still 
the sickening 'crack' when it hit still makes my blood run 
cold....everything appears to be functioning but oh my.
