Reviews on Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with Lens Kit - 0.71"-2.76"
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: Ability to use my old AF Nikkor lenses. QUICK startup and focus. Long battery life. Handles like my N8008s. Excellent 18/70mm lens.
Weakness: My SB24 flash won't work in TTL mode. No way for the moment to take really w-i-d-e angle photos. My 20mm becomes a 30mm.
I recently traded my beloved Nikon FA, MD-15 motor and 5 AIS Nikkor lenses toward my D-70. My 60 year-old eyes just couldn't handle manual focus any longer. I'm delighted that ALL my AF Nikkors for my N8008s work flawlessly with the D-70, even the independent brands and the 1.4x teleconverter. My 180mm F2.8 and 105mm macro are my favorites, I love fast, long lenses. Being able to use all my...
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: No delay at power on, easy to use, excellent full color metering, battery life is great, i-TTL flash is excellent, menu system allows great control over functions, fits hand well
Weakness: some buttons a little small, Picture Project software is for amatures- Nikon Capture should be included in $, Menus not too easy to navigate in a hurry, not 8 MPixel, no PC socket
I am a pro-shooter and this is my first digital. I was waiting for an 8-10 MPix from Nikon but got tired of waiting. For $900 this blows the other D-SLRs away. The D70 is amazing for the price. It sports many F5 features- color meter, AF sensor, etc. Plan on using a 512MB Flash card or larger for fine JPEGs and a 1GB or larger for RAW shooting. I shoot RAW 90% because the Capture Software allows...
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: Good solid build feel, exceptional autofocus, good for amateur or semi-pro, backward compatible lenses
Weakness: Capture software extra cost, hand grip feels tight to the lens, default seems underexposed
Got my D70 the 24th March from B+H in New York on first day of release. D70 with the Nikon 18-70 lens and 1Gb Sandisk Extreme CF card. Total (ex tax)$1599 also paid an extra $50 for the Mack 5 year extended warranty. The camera is already sold out and on 4 week back order 1 day later! 1 hours charge had the battery to maximum and started shooting. Keeping to the large and fine quality JPEG's...
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: FAST, FAST, FAST! See more in 'comments.'
Weakness: Auto White Balance leaves much to be desired. Preset color profiles are too extreme (dull or vivid). View finder a tad dark.
This camera is FAST!!! It's a great relief to finally be able to take a digital photo with almost no shutter lag and/or wait time to take another photo. The startup time can probably be scientifically proven to be a value greater than 0 but is 0 for real world purposes. After flipping the ‘on’ switch the camera is ready to shoot before I can press the shutter release no matter how hard I try!...
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: quick responds and fast, battery life is 1000+ photo, very good light meter, very good price/feature ratio, lens is extremely good quality, handling and controls are very well done, flash exposure!
Weakness: backward compatibility with old Nikon gear is limited, change AF mode only in menu, only manual exposure with old lenses
After having owned 3 professional Nikon cameras and at least 5 other digital cameras I was surprised how well the D70 performs and almost every aspect. There is never a lag or wait for the camera and 3 frames per second is fast enough for 98% of my photos. Haveing a 1/500 flash sync time is incredible and a big advantage to use fill flash in daylight. The image quality is better than I expected....
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: 1. Speed (Powering on, focusing) 2. Battery life (Amazing) 3. Ease of use (Surprisingly friendly for amateurs) 4. Picture quality, of course!
Weakness: Maybe better out-of-the-box performance. It required a little tweaking with the settings before I got pictures I liked. Go to the forums at dpreview.com to learn about various settings.
PCWorld has just revealed their incompetence in reviewing digital cameras. Many photography organizations and magazines have rated the D70 as the #1 DSLR of 2004. Anyone who simply uses the auto mode to compare cameras doesnt know what they're doing. (And this is coming from an amateur!) This camera is amazing. I've taken pictures I never thought I could. I find that my skill as a photographer is...
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: Overall functionality, speed, ease of use, image quality
Weakness: Smallish viewfinder, No ISO reading in viewfinder, lossy RAW file format
This camera is suitable in image quality for professional work. Do not use the automatic settings and don't shoot JPEGs, but learn how to get the most from RAW images. The Nikon will set exposure down a little bit to avoid blowing highlights, but this is with the assumption that you "develop" your images routinely with a "digital darkroom" and use capable capture software. The PC World reviewer...
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: Great Performance / Great PhotoQuality / Good Construction
Weakness: I wish it had hinged usb hatch... That's about it...
I am just BLOWN out of the water...Never expected this kind of performance or Quality....I had a Olympus 8080z and it took too long to focus... I am so Glad to have something of this quality. I tried the Canon EOS 10 and 20 but liked the earth-tones from this baby...
Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: Camera is ready to use instantly when turned on. Focus is fast and aided by assist beam. Pictures can be taken very fast and with a high speed card, storage is fast. Comparable with my NIKON N90S
Weakness: In some situations tends to under expose in auto mode but that can be adjusted by exposure compensation dial.
Been using this camera for more than a month now and I find it fantastic. Ready to shoot the instant you turn it on. Using the San Disk Ultra II 512 meg card gives me great capacity even shooting in (nef)/jpg mode. Ability to use my Nikon SLR lenses that I had with my N90S make this a great camera without the finishing expenses and waiting time. The lens PCWORLD rates is not the lens that came...
Nikon D70S 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-70mm Nikkor Lens
The D70s builds on the success of its popular predecessor, the D70, with multiple internal and external refinements including an improved autofocus system, larger LCD monitor, the addition of a remote cord port, new graphic user interface, among several other enhancements. Designed for a broad range of consumers from experienced and amateur photographers to beginning photo enthusiasts and...

TopNikon D70 Digital Camera Review
At $999, Nikon’s D70 has turned a lot of heads and started a great deal of gossip in the digital camera social scene — enough to ruffle feathers at Canon, whose EOS Digital Rebel was until recently the best deal around in terms of quality, options, and price. Although the price extends past the $1000 mark when a kit lens is thrown in ($1299), the Nikon D70 offers up stiff competition...
TopNikon D70
The Nikon D70 is extremely easy to use for pro and amateur alike, with a versatile set of features that fit most all shooting conditions.
TopNikon D70
An Excellent camera. Loads of shooting options and suburb quality results. Shame that a extended battery cannot be attached.

Nikon D70 6.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body with...
Strengths: this camera has so many strengths its hard to list them all...instant startup, 6.1mp, shoots extremely fast (up to three pictures a second), handles very well, focuses quickly, INCREDIBLE battery life
Weakness: it would be nice to have 8mp
I purchased this digital SLR camera because i was getting more serious about my hobby and wanted to be able to do some professional quality work. It's definately an expensive camera ($1300) but considering what you get for the money it has been more than worth it for me. Taking pictures with this camera is sooo quick and easy (faster and just better than canon digital rebel), it takes no time at...
