D70 Digital SLR Camera w/Sigma Two-Lens Kit review

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.

A sub-$1,000 (body only) list price places this Nikon in direct competition with the Canon EOS Digital Rebel, but as a kit, the D70 is really going up against models such as the Nikon D100 and the Canon EOS 10D. When we discuss digital-camera...

Nikon D70 SLR Digital Camera Camera

By Paul Jasper

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 ...

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....
