Nikon D70 (body only) Reviews

By Lori Grunin

Excellent dynamic range, color accuracy, and noise profiles; terrific continuous-shooting performance; feature set accommodates a variety of users.

Nikon's RAW-file editing software costs extra; camera saves only one set of custom parameters.

The Nikon D70 is a great enthusiast dSLR.

Design of Nikon D70 (body only)We loaded the Nikon D70 with a CompactFlash card, a lithium-ion battery, and an optional 18mm-to-70mm lens (equivalent to a 35mm model's 27mm-to-105mm lens). Features of Nikon D70 (body only)No matter what your...

Nikon D70 Digital Camera Review

By Elena Rue

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 pr...

- Handling ability: it is light yet substantial - Extensive options for each function - Clever layout/design - Impressive LCD screen resolution and monitor cover - Incredibly fast shutter response time

- Lowest ISO is 200 - Weak software package - Rubber buttons are somewhat annoying - Color and resolution results under par

After all of this talk, is the Nikon D70 up to snuff? I would say so. The clever design, ease of use, portability, and top-of-the-line features make the Nikon D70 hard to beat in today's market. As Nikon's first sub-$1000 digital SLR camera, the Nikon D70...

Although the price extends past the $1000 mark when a kit lens is thrown in ($1299), the Nikon D70 offers up stiff competition nonetheless.

The Camera Of The Year 2004

By The Editors

Our Editors' Criterion: The camera that best refines or redefines photography

A revolution began in 2003 with the Canon EOS Digital Rebel -- its $899 sticker, its 6.3-megapixel sensor, and its attitude of "Everybody into the digital SLR pool; the water's fine!"The question for '04 was how quickly a camera maker would seize...

Nikon D70

By Paul Jasper

The D70 is Nikon's first digital SLR for the advanced hobbyist.

Confirmed Nikon aficionados with an existing investment in lenses and accessories will love the D70, but it definitely takes some getting used to.

Professional photographers have been buying Nikon's digital single-lens reflex cameras for several years, but at $1000 (body only), the 6.1-megapixel D70 is the company's first SLR that's affordable for the advanced consumer. If you own a recent...

Nikon D70 SLR Digital Camera Camera

The D70's rechargeable battery was still going strong when we stopped testing after 500 shots. It also comes with a converter for use with three disposable lithium CR2 batteries--an expensive option, but handy for emergencies. You get no media card with t...

The other Nikon digitals we looked at this month (the Coolpix 8400 and Coolpix 8800) have the ability to store collections of your favorite settings for retrieving later--it's surprising that the D70 doesn't have similar custom modes....
