is a nikon d70 good enough to shoot professional photos for ice hockey, they will be sold so it needs to be good quality and i will be using flashes around the rink. thanks

if (it's a "big" if) you can use mulitple flashes around the rink with wireless triggers this will probably take care of iso, shutter speed speed issues...though if you can afford this setup then it might appear the D70 doesn't fit in this mix. That said even if that setup were possible I would think the AF on the D70 would be extremely unreliable wrt to sports. If you want to "sell" the images then your keeper rate would be very low I would think.
Bottom line if you intend to sell image then the minimum nikon body to do the job competently would be a D300 and 70-200mm VR type lens.
I am going to be shooting for a company so the flash setup is not mine and theyll be several flashes set up around the rink and triggered wireless, also i will be shooting on a fixed 300 probably f4 and I am a canon person but i am in a jam and now looking for a cheap nikon so i am compatible with the company lens

ahhhh..are you actually shooting hockey action? The D70 is like 4 or 5 generations old in terms of sensor technology. If you were shooting non sports it may work...for sports. I just cringe thinking about it.
In that situation then I think a D90 or D200 would suffice but of course your keep rate would suffer due to AF. D200 is preferable over the D90 wrt to AF. D90 has better iso.
yeah it is hockey in action alright ill will see what i can find im just in a big jam for this weekend and need a camera or a canon lens which apparently does not exist in Massachusetts the fixed 300 is so hard to find to rent

thats what im looking into also but alot of them wont do pick up unless its a head of time but im sure i can find somewhere to rent from and also would a d3000 work you think? and thanks again for your help

it's definitely a step up from the D70. it has the D90 AF system and sensor form the D200 I believe (good to about ISO800). The 300mm F4 nikon lens is a AF-S lens so the combo will work..only 3 fps though. This would be a last resort kinda thing though.
alright thanks and i just came to find out i can shoot with a 75-200 so i think im gonna try to shoot with my canon xsi with 75-300 f4-5.6 lens i know not even close to professional what do you think though will it work?

I bold faced and underlined the important parts.
If you mean the Canon EF 75-300mm, f4-5.6 III USM I think you will find it too slow to focus in low light and not sharp unless you stop it down. A very poor choice for indoor sports I'm afraid.
Do you have a chance to test the system beforehand?
