Pros: Nicely Featured, Nikon Value
Cons: USB Transfer Rate
Summary: The Nikon D70 was may have been one of the most anticipated digital cameras to come onto the market in recent memory. Not only did it compete head on with the heralded Canon Digital Rebel in the sub $1000.00 category, it offered a viable ... read more

Pros: Easy to use, great features, excellent quality, and adaptable.
Cons: Slightly on the heavy side, can be awkward in tight situations.
Summary: I have always been a Cannon fan, but the D-70 won me over almost immediately. The learning curve is easy and you will be up and shooting in no time. While the camera is heavy, its performance is well above average and the picture quality outstanding. All ... read more

Pros: Speed! No shutter delay, no power-up delay. Excellent images.
Cons: Some annoying design flaws.
Summary: [D70 reviewed, but comments also apply to D70s.] Good enough to retire my Nikon 35mm film camera for the benefits of digital! Its key feature is speed: no shutter delay, no power-up delay, and the camera can be left on at all times (sleep mode) ... read more

Pros: Nikon reputation for quality and ruggedness. High image quality, can use older Nikon mount lenses.
Cons: Expensive for body-only camera, plastic body, I would have preferred magnesium.
Summary: Having been invested in Nikons for over 10 years getting a D70 was certainly going to happen. I take thousands of travel related pictures and clothing pictures for our eBay clothing business so need quality of image, ease of use and interchangeable ... read more

Pros: Unlimited lens options, battery life, sturdy construction and durable exterior, fast startup-speed and zero-lag shutter.
Cons: Included neck strap, slow USB transfer speed, moderately useful flash.

Pros: Very ergonomic and efficient, great image quality, designers paid attention to detail
Cons: Only auto-focus capable lenses work with meter, now a lot more expensive than original Rebel
Summary: Preliminaries I got the D70 because I already used Nikon 35mm SLR's and had already had a set of compatible lenses. I didn't want to switch systems and buy a whole new set of lenses -- not to mention carry two different systems at the same ... read more

Pros: Stunning non-digital like photos when developed. Instant on, instant focus. Reasonable price.
Cons: Heavy.
Summary: I love photography, but my artistic talent went away with the purchase of a digital point & shoot camera in 2001. It was easier to just take a whole bunch of digital pictures without worrying about the outcome because they were free until developed. ... read more

Pros: Fast
Minimal noise, even in low light.
Solid construction
Intuitive controls
Cons: No Nikon Capture software, although the enclosed software will convert RAW files to JPEGs.
Summary: I've had the D70 for a couple of weeks now and have put it to the test next to my beloved, albeit outdated, N8008. It's truly an amazing little contraption, especially considering its relatively modest price tag. I read gushing reviews of this camera ... read more

Pros: Solid feel to camera, excellent response time, great images
Cons: No PC connector plug-in...an adapter must be used on hotshoe
Summary: Film processing is a thing of the past! Digital is the way to go...and the Nikon D70 is the camera that fits the bill. A compact digital SLR that can easily handle any photographic task. The image quality is astounding. I've tried a bunch of digitals and ... read more

Pros: Behaves like a "traditional" 35mm camera
Cons: Non yet
Summary: I have been into digital photography for a while now. I started with a 2MP Sony and have moved up to a 5MP F707. While I love the gadget factor, my wife has stayed in the film camp all this time. She really disliked my Sony F707 because it behaves more ... read more

Pros: Fast startup time. Very good picture quality. Fast shot to shot delay.
Cons: Very Heavy/Bulky. LCD back NOT for framing shots. Not Portable.
Summary: I just bought AND returned the Nikon D70 Outfit with the AF-S DX 18-70mm lens. Having spent many of my younger years using an SLR camera and more recent years with a Canon 2.1 MPixel point and shoot digital, I was looking to step up in picture quality. ... read more

Jan 01 '05
Pros: image quality, feature set, great size/feel, ok build quality, fast performance
Cons: crappy bundled software, shame Nikon for not including the remote & CF card in kit
Summary: I've had mine for about 3 months. I really like it, but frankly if it wasn't for the recent price drops and the fact that I had price protection (from London Drugs) I would not be as thrilled with this unit as I am. The Canadian dollar has been strong ... read more

Dec 28 '04
Pros: Fast, quick, beautiful, well built and feature rich!
Cons: No ISO display in auto-ISO mode
Nikon Capture is limited trial
Summary: I think the biggest disappointment with this camera is that it is being marketed to the masses that know nothing about digital photography, much less how to get the most out of the dSLR format. Though it has a "point and shoot" mode like most cameras ... read more

Pros: Relatively inexpensive. Uses Nikon lenses. Up to date technology. A technological marvel.
Cons: I would like a fool proof method of inserting the memory card.
Summary: I've owned Nikon cameras since I bought a Nikon F in 1959 when I was stationed in Japan. I've never had a failure of lens or camera in 45 years. That is until I bought the D70. I bent a pin connecting to the memory card because I was in a hurry and was ... read more

Dec 06 '04
Pros: No camera shake, ease of use, built-in flash, incredibly versatile for all shooting venues
Cons: Can't use old speedlight, some built-in flash indoor use will overexpose subject matter
Summary: I am an avid Nikon SLR user - of course all with 35mm film prior to now. I have owned 4 other digital cameras (with increasingly higher megapixel and zoom capabilities) and have now landed on what I hope will be my "last" digital camera. The D70 (6.1 ... read more
