The new Nikon D70s and Nikkor AF-S DX f/3.5-f4.5/18-70mm G IF-ED Zoom

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
Recommended it? Yes

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. At first glance the D70s appears identical to its predecessor, but... Read full review »

The Nikon D70s put a dent in my wallet... and my hardwood floor!

Pros Great quality.
Cons I'm broke.
Recommended it? Yes

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 spend over a thousand dollars on something that I... Read full review »

Pros Too many to mention!
Cons None except the learning curve required!
Recommended it? Yes

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 D70. This is a serious piece of photo...

Best Camera we've owned

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...
Recommended it? Yes

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 they capture the picture.

We did some... Read full review »

An excellent starter digital SLR

byignu Nov 18, 2008
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros easy to use; well priced; a good way to explore DSLRs
Cons older model; less advanced than newer Nikons
Recommended it? Yes

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 abroad, however, I made the leap--knowing... Read full review »

Excellent Entry Level Body With A Few Compromises

byEl_Terrible Apr 26, 2008
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
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).
Recommended it? Yes

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 was intended for when it was first created. With that... Read full review »

When Going To a Gunfight, Bring a Big Gun

Pros Superb image quality. Fast response.
Cons Poor automatic white balance.
Recommended it? Yes

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 D70 ain't in the same ball park with those P&S... Read full review »

Great camera, but read this if buying secondhand

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good ergonomics and quick response (mostly), customisable; good lens
Cons Slower response after 1.5yrs, steep learning curve
Recommended it? No

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 (journalistic), family, weddings and... Read full review »

Nikon D70s - Excellent digital SLR

byrtangen Mar 20, 2006
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent value, great results.
Cons 1.5 lens factor, RAW + jpg mode. I would like to have RAW only.
Recommended it? Yes

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 assignment that required digital images... Read full review »

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

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 controls and decent image quality. But what I... Read full review »
