Try using the D70 from waist level, pre-focused, rather than held up to
your eye. It works well with just a bit of practice. Use a wide angle
lens. Something like a 20mm or 24mm f/2.8 lens should work well and is
quite compact and reasonably priced.

Hmmm. That is actually an approach in which Live View (which I've been
skeptical of) might be useful. I just this last week (finally) got a D90,
though I haven't really tried the Live View feature yet.
