Nikon D70s Body Only Digital Camera

Pros: Very fast, solid build quality, excellent image quality, and very good battery life
Cons: Images slightly soft at default settings and No USB 2.0

Canon’s EOS D350/Digital Rebel XT was a revolutionary re-design of the original Rebel, but Nikon’s new D70s is more an evolutionary update of the dLSR that POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY magazine chose as it’s CAMERA OF THE YEAR in 2004. ...

Pros: Great quality.
Cons: I'm broke.

After dropping my Nikon F65 35mm SLR down a scree slope, and then more recently submerging it in the Pacific Ocean, I thought it might not be a bad idea to get a new and improved camera – a digital SLR. At the same time, I was hesitant to go and ...

Pros: Superb image quality. Fast response.
Cons: Poor automatic white balance.

Let's get right to the guts of it. I love my Nikon D70. It is, without a doubt, the most powerful and versatile imaging tool I've ever laid my hands on. I've owned other superb P&S digicams, but comparing them to the D70 is an exercise in futility. The ...

Pros: Too many to mention!
Cons: None except the learning curve required!

If you are the type of person who only uses their digital camera for snap shots, this camera is NOT for you. If, however, you are the type of photographer would like to exercise complete control of your photo taking in a digital format, you'll love the ...

Pros: Metering, all the way around is some of the best on the market.
Cons: Lack of Mirror Lock-Up and Lossy Raw Compression (I WANT MY BITS BACK).

First I would like to note I’m not going to cover every spec of the camera because the specifications can be found on the box or Nikon’s website and I refuse to use that as filler like some reviewers will… This is clearly not what this site ...

Pros: Low cost, excellent image quality, pro-sumer level camera.
Cons: Lack of GPS support.

INTRODUCTION: This review will be edited and re-edited over time as I become use to, and learn more about the D70s. I purchased the camera / lens combination - but this review will apply to the body only variant as well. BODY: The D70s is a ...

Pros: Good ergonomics and quick response (mostly), customisable; good lens
Cons: Slower response after 1.5yrs, steep learning curve

The Nikon D70 is the only DSLR that I've owned, though I've also used the Canon EOS 300D and 350D (Digital Rebel and Rebel XT resp.). I bought it in 2004, more than 1.5 years ago. In these 20 or so months, I've shot more than 26,000 images, for work ...

Pros: Versatile, flexible, part of a huge system, excellent quality.
Cons: Not as rugged as metal Nikons. Can't meter with non-AF Nikkors.

I owned a total of six digital cameras before purchasing my D70, ranging from an execrable little Agfa that drained a pair of AAs to produce a dozen terrible VGA shots thorugh a Canon G2 that was a pleasure to use. The Canon was pretty good, with manual ...

Pros: Nicely balanced, handles great, images are stunning.
Cons: Menu selections are buried, but this is not a deal breaker, folks!

This is a nearly perfect digital SLR -- for those who've used Nikon 35MM SLR gear in the past, it handles and fits like a GLOVE. Your old AF Nikkor lenses will mate perfectly with the onboard electronics. The new G lenses (like the zoom included in ...

Pros: Excellent entry-level price for a pro-level camera
Cons: Lack of TTL underwater, smaller viewfinder than Film SLRs

Don't let the price fool you: This is a camera that suits everyone between the beginners to photography right up until Professional/Commercial photographers! As other reviews have covered the usage of this camera setup on land very well, I will cover ...

Pros: easy to use; well priced; a good way to explore DSLRs
Cons: older model; less advanced than newer Nikons

I purchased the Nikon D70 about two and a half years ago, when I temporarily moved from the United States to Rome, Italy. I had long thought about getting a digital SLR, but both the price and the abandonment of film gave me pause. With an upcoming move ...

Pros: Fast start,processing,and shutter response Easy to use Great image quality
Cons: Bulk. Not a pocket, take anywhere camera.

I recently purchased a new Nikon D70 SLR Kit that included the 18-70mm DX lens. It has been many years since I used a 35mm SLR since I converted to digital back when 2 mg pixel cameras hit the market. I feel as if I have grown up with the digital ...

Pros: great pictures, a lot of options, a lot of accessories.
Cons: Many menu options.  Some menu selections revert back to default setting when switching modes.

As our baby daughter was becoming more mobile, we quickly realized that the run-of-the-mill digital cameras were not up to the task of catching her in action.  Most of them have to much latency between when you push the shutter release button until ...

Pros: Excellent value, great results.
Cons: 1.5 lens factor, RAW + jpg mode. I would like to have RAW only.

First I must explain that I have resisted switching from film cameras to digital for many years. Yes I own a digital point and shoot, I guess everyone does, but as a working pro my Nikon F3, F5 and my medium format cameras have been my mainstay. I got an ...

Pros: everything, from price to usability, and there is a free photography course
Cons: all the software they give you is trial version :(

I like to have as much control as possible on my photographs, this is why I've always used 35mm reflex cameras with interchangeable lenses. Until now the problem was that a decent digital true SLR was very expensive (and was a Canon). This set gives you ...
