Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The D70 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon D800E will give you greater detail because of its extra 30 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged D70 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
