I'm not familiar with the D70, but we do have a D100 and D1X.

Look at the way the camera is set up it might be refocusing as you reframe the image. They have a setting that allows focussing to alter as the image you shoot moves. Unfortunately if you do not hit the model with the focussing frame, in the view finder, exactly right as you shoot the image the camera will refocus.

Took me a week to find out one of our cameras had been reset and we why were getting out of focus images.

D70 is a good camera but make sure you get a good lens with it. Depends what you want to do with is is the simple answer.
