Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The Nikon D70s has all the award-winning features that made its predecessor so popular - 6.1 effective megapixels for clear, sharp resolution; top shutter speed of 1/8000 second and 1/500 second flash sync; near-instant power-up of 0.2 seconds for incredible responsiveness - and more. The D70s features an advanced AF system; its exceptional subject acquisition, focus tracking and focus precision functions ensure that your action shots will be even crisper and sharper. Built-in i-TTL Speedlight automatically pops up when lighting is inadequate and provides fill flash when necessary. Extra wide peripheral illumination supports lenses up to 18mm, for beautiful wide angle shots. The large 2.0-inch LCD monitor is easy to view and use, with plain-language menus and help dialogs presented clearly. For better results when shooting close-ups and long exposures, use the optional Remote Cord (MC-DC1). Add to all of this the incredible performance of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, powering up to 2500 shots per charge, and you have a superb digital SLR camera, always ready for action.


Product Description

The D70s is an evolution of the award winning D70. It inherits the image quality, high performance and user-friendliness of the D70 and introduces refinements that help photographers capture precious moments the instant they unfold. The D70s Kit includes the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED lens, which has been optically designed for use with Nikon digital SLR sensors. 135 equivalent of 27-105mm zoom range.

5.0 out of 5 stars However Good You Thought It Would Be, It's Better, 26 Jul 2005
My reservations about lashing out a large bundle of cash for a camera made me shop around for a long time before I took the plunge. Now I wish I had bought it sooner! The D70s is a joy to use. It is quite heavy, but not unreasonably so, and it is very well balanced with the 18-70 lens fitted.The controls are extensive, but the basics are soon mastered, and then you get the fun of learning all the advanced ones. The quality of the 3000x2008 RAW images is superb, thanks to that great lens - although I am glad I bought the 2Gb high speed CF card. It gives me 330+ images at full resolution. I did worry about the built-in Speedlight, but it is brilliant, and the range of settings is impressive. What else can I say? Buy the camera, read the manual, have fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some thoughts on the D70s, 29 April 2006
At the time of writing (Apr 06) Amazon has the best price that I could fnd on the net (£642 for the kit).

After using Nikons in the past, the D70s doesn't seem to have the 'robust' feel of the older cameras (FM series), but is more comfortable to hold. Overall the weight of the D70 with lens is about 70gm heavier than my FM with a 28mm lens, which surprised me.

The lens feels very light compared to older lens, but the manual focussing ring did not feel very smooth (not that this will be used a lot).

On the subject of older lenses, the question sales people tended to side step is how well do they work on a D70. The answer is that they fit fine, of course, but there is no way for the camera to know the aperture set on the old lens - hence the cameras light meter will not work. Back to a hand held light meter! You can just guess the exposure, and then fine tune the result by looking at the results on the back screen or even check the histogram, but it's a bit of a pain. Makes you think about the amount of light you have - which might be no bad thing.

On to the flash. This worked well, popping up when required. But you can guarantee that you will get red eye, so you will need the red eye reduction mode.

The camera does not have a sync socket for external flash, and this is an optional extra at £20. The socket instructions include dire warnings about using a flash with the correct voltage and polarity, as otherwise the cameras electronics might be damaged.

If you decide to use a cheaper Nikon flash (or the built in flash) as a trigger for external units you might find that the results are not as expected. The camera flash will give some pre-flashes (not normaly visible) that are enough to trigger the slave units before the shutter has opened.

No storage card is supplied with the kit and I recommend a 1Gb card. (Shop around on the net).

Transfer onto my Mac was simple and the raw images were no problem for the Apple Aperture program.

The camera comes with a comprehensive manual, and it is needed as there is a lot to learn once you get away from the simple Auto modes.

I hope these notes are of use:-)

5.0 out of 5 stars The best D-SLR out there below £1000, 18 Jul 2005
This camera has the same feel as the more expensive cameras like the D2X and D2H. The camera is easy to understand and all the menus are laid out in a simple way. I read through the manual and after 30 minutes i feelt like i knew enough to get the desired effect that i wanted. The images are extremly sharp and accurate. This camera powers up in no time so there is never any waiting time. I've tried shooting with the Canon 350D but i did not like it even nearly as much as this one. The lens that comes with it (18-70) is so sharp and on point. All i have to say is WOW...WOW WOW
