In this case, anyway, I was speaking of color balance. The colors from the D70, when the white balance was set correctly, just seemed so much more accurate than the colors from the scanned slides and negatives, which took a fair bit of tweaking. Also, the scans from the ISO 400 negatives showed quite a bit more grain than the pictures from the D70 taken at ISO 400. In fact, they most closely resembled the noise in the D70 pictures taken at ISO 1600.
