Would you say a Nikon D70s 6.1MP is still an excellent entry level SLR? - 1

Yes.

Yes, if it's in good working condition.

Yes. I just bought 1 recently.

Yes, if it is in good condition and at a reasonable price.

Only if it is in primo condition.

Yes, because while it's image quality is not up to today's standards, it will allow you to learn everything you need to as an entry-level photographer. All too often, beginners mistakenly think that having better gear will yield better shots. Even in some cases like sports where gear does make a difference, unless you have the artistic and technical skill, your images won't be any better - just sharper at best.

The D70, like any DSLR, will have the necessary features and capabilities for anyone to learn the basics of photography. It's not the camera, but what you do with it that matters.

Yes.

The main idea behind an entry-level camera is that
you can use it to learn how to take good pictures.

Better resolution (more MP) won't matter
until and unless you want large images
(8 X 14 and up).
