Kaylene Thompson member since: 10/28/2007	Rating: 4 out of 5 Good camera with many features that a beginning amateur would benefit from. Decent pixel size at 6.1. Captures great details with Macro lens. Good functionality with different modes - allowing those with no experience to capture great photos in one of the auto modes, or allowing flexibility in one of the 4 non-100% auto modes to be more creative. Many ISO options, white balance & easy to manipulate menus make this a fun camera to learn on. 11/4/2007 8:55:54 AM

Christopher F. Greene member since: 3/29/2007	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Until I recently began using the RAW format with the trial Nikon Capture software, the real potential of this camera was only partially realized. Color saturation and sharpness (to name but a few) attributes come to life with the large files created in RAW. I'm looking forward to trying out extension tubes with my F lenses for macro work, which is actually pretty good at 70 mm on the "kit" lens, another real plus to the outfit. The light meter, flash and autofocus are first rate. The menu helps bring out the artist (along with the all important software with this camera especially) in the photographer. 3/29/2007 8:48:37 AM
Donna Dunbar Contact Donna Donna's Gallery member since: 5/6/2003	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I have been using this camera not quite a year now and I have been very happy so far. I am really not familiar with any other digital cameras so don't really have anything to compare it to. Up until I bought this camera I had always used a film SLR. The only thing that I wish was better is the LCD monitor to me is a little small but like I say this is the very first experience with a digital SLR. 9/13/2006 8:42:17 AM
Norma L. Brown normabrownphotography.com member since: 3/8/2006	Rating: 4 out of 5 Used to use a Coolpix 4300 but could not set shutter speed and aperture. Nice to be able to use all my Nikkor lenses that I used with my F100 Nikon but not have to pay for film and processing all the time while I'm learning. 7/6/2006 8:47:32 PM
Rebecca Shepherd member since: 6/21/2006	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Works great, fast, easy to figure out, takes great pictures. I don't like compact flash cards, too easy to bend a pin. 7/6/2006 11:38:38 AM

Julie Donato member since: 6/27/2006	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Love that, as a beginner, I can get great pictures out of it without much knowledge. Cannot wait to see what I can do with it after the course I am signed up for. 7/5/2006 12:51:39 PM

Steve Melamed member since: 6/9/2006	Rating: 4 out of 5 There are dog people and cat people, Elvis people and Beatles people, and Nikon and Canon people. There is a difference in how the two capture colors and texture. Both are good, it just comes down to personal preference. There are times I look at a shot and think , I wish I shot that with a Canon. Then there are other times that I love what I got. Bottom line is that I love my camera, wouldn't trade it for the world, but there are always times that I admire the other side. 6/27/2006 5:49:59 PM
Ernest Pile Contact Ernest Ernest's Gallery espilephotoart.com member since: 7/6/2004	Rating: 4 out of 5 I rate this camera a 4 only because I just got it 2 days ago! I suspect that it will get a 5 rating as soon as I learn how to use it. 6/27/2006 8:19:02 AM
Houston Brown member since: 6/21/2006	Rating: 3.5 out of 5 All in all I love the camera. I think I still have a lot to learn about what it can and can not do. I am always trying to figure out how to get those sharp images. I have been able to achieve the quality I want, but not consistently. 6/26/2006 11:57:16 PM
michael  p. galvin galvinimages.com member since: 3/12/2006	Rating: 5 out of 5 Ok, So after 5 years of shooting on my Sony Mavica, (which is an awsome camera) I have myself a brand spanking new Nikon D70s...... This camera has been great for me, from the time that I have picked it up, I have not stopped learning how to take better photos. I already have several lenses from my other Nikon SLR Camers, (N-60, N-90). So the move over to a digital SLR was pretty much without a hitch. I would highly recommend, the D70s for even the beginer photogrpher, its so user friendly, and easy to use, from pre set program functions to total manual... it has it all. mike 6/25/2006 7:40:46 AM
Aaron  J. Parkyn member since: 6/25/2006	Rating: 4 out of 5 For what I want at the moment and for an entry level camera into Digital Photography I couldn't ask for a better camera. I love the versatility of the D70s and the way it feels in the hands. It actually feels like Im holding something in my hands. My only dissapointment for the camera would be the restriction of the 6.1 magapixels. However if I ever manage to get paid for it then I would upgrade to a better one. All round though it is an excellent camera. 6/25/2006 5:54:25 AM

Anand N. Vijayakar member since: 1/5/2006	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I recently started using the D70s and I love its flexibility. It's easy to use with features easily accessible. One doesn't have to keep going back to the menu to adjust every small setting. True, the D2X and the D200 are classified by the manufacturer as better and more advanced cameras but the main point where the D70s scores over them is the battery life which is close to double that of the D200. The manual says that at average settings, the D70s shoots about 2500 frames. While almost no one would use settings that low, even with better settings and an almost constant use of AF and the built in speedlight, one could easily shoot 800 frames in a single charge. The only reason i've rated it 4.5 is because of the fact that one can't shoot TIFF images with it (or atleast i haven't come across the settings in the instruction manual) and RAW(NEF) is too problematic a format for someone like me. 6/3/2006 11:07:26 PM

Nanette B. Stephens Contact Nanette Nanette's Gallery member since: 7/8/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 My husband has been trying to get me to go digital for a while but I wasn't sure if I wanted to. Then I decided what the heck and purchased the NikonD70S Digital SLR and love it. I really love the fact that after I take the picture, I can look at it and see if I like it or not. My husband still likes his digital where he can use the view screen on back to set up and take his picture. Even though you can't do that on the Nike 70DS, I like the fact that you can still look through the viewfinder to set up and take the picture. I had a hard time when I used my husband's and just relied on the screen to set up and take pictures. I recommend the Nikon DS70 to anyone who wants to go digital. I especially love that my husband and I can use all of our Nikon lenses with my new camera. I am having a blast taking pictures and playing with them on my computer and learning how to work in Photoshop7 with my pictures. I look forward to a long time of fun taking pictures. 5/17/2006 7:41:19 AM
Larry W. Johnson member since: 5/1/2006	Rating: 5 out of 5 It is a little heavy, but the quality far outweighs the carrying...It is very complicated, but that also adds features. Any F lens will fit and accessories are complete and readily available. 5/15/2006 2:17:14 PM

Bob Hendry member since: 5/8/2006	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 While not quite up to the standards of the D2X or the D200, the D70s is certainly the best digital camera I have ever used. After a rather short learning curve, the pictures amaze all who view them - like those in National Geographic! Image quality is certainly it's hallmark, with features galore - too many, in fact, to remember! 5/9/2006 4:21:09 AM

Susan G. Charette member since: 4/10/2006	Rating: 5 out of 5 A great little camera, records beautifully, easy to read. The only thing I don't like about this camera is the way the photo labs have total control over the printing.

Robert J. Umenhofer member since: 1/3/2006	Rating: 5 out of 5 This is a fantastic camera. I got it because I already had good lenses for my N80 which is also a great camera. The menus are easy to access and afford the user great control over their shots. If you already own a Nikon and want to move to digital this camera is the way to go. 3/26/2006 2:54:45 PM

John Elmuccio questvisions.com member since: 3/17/2006	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I just got my Nikon D70s during the last part of 2005. I have numerous digital point and shoot cameras...most notably, a Canon G3 and a Nikon Coolpix 5700 and I have gotten terrific results and years of use from these instruments. Although I have been shooting SLR (Nikon N90s) for years, this is my first Digital SLR. The added versatility and ability to interchange lenses has enhanced my digital photographic experience. I have upgraded to CS2 and am really enjoying this jump in 'level". I do much of my own printing in large layouts (11x14, 12x18 and larger) and am very impressed with the clarity of color and detail. The learning curve can be long, as there are lots of features. But, you can fall back on Auto Mode in the meantime with great results. I also am pleased with the weight and hand feel of the camera. Priced well, this is a good transitional entry into the digital SLR world. 3/17/2006 2:17:38 PM
Stephanie Allison member since: 3/16/2006	Rating: 5 out of 5 This is the best camera I've ever had--so far. The images are sharp and it has enabled me to play around with different settings--aperture, shutter speed, etc. and see instant results instead of having to wait for a roll of film to come back. 3/16/2006 4:47:50 PM

Inigo Alcaniz member since: 3/6/2006	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 This a brilliant camera for beginners. It has done a really good job even in very harsh conditions such as the finnish winter in which the camera was working after 3 hours at -30C celsius. The only problem I found is the ISO from 800 upwards. 3/6/2006 2:28:48 PM

Ben LindoPhotography member since: 12/6/2005	Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Its a great camera, easy to use for the most part. Sometimes I dont like the grain,(it cant do less than 200ISO)and the tendency to underexpose by default (it's correctable though) and not get the candy colours that canons get without some post production or luck (it seems?). I like that it looks and feels pretty professional. With a good lens it makes awesome photos. Its fast and is just the right size and weight for me at least. 2/16/2006 1:53:31 PM

Ron Springwater member since: 1/22/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 Pros for me: Nikon lens quality, aperature range, flexibility to change shutter/aperature priority, metering, exposure controls (ISO, WB, format), good focal length coverage in 2 lenses (18-70, 55-200, digitally measured). Cons for me: Too slow read/write when using RAW. Would prefer anti-shake built in body. 2/6/2006 6:44:06 PM
Whitney Al Bueno member since: 2/5/2006	Rating: 5 out of 5 This is my first SLR camera, and the only one I've had experience using, so I really have nothing to compare it to, but it's suited me perfectly, and compared to what a was using before, a Sony FD Mavica, it is amazing. 2/5/2006 4:20:13 PM
Julie A. Stroud member since: 1/13/2006	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I researched digital SLRs for about 8 months before I finally decided on the Nikon D70s. After using it the past 6 months or more, I am even more convinced that I made the best choice. 1/30/2006 4:58:16 AM

I'm very happy with the quality of images, and the 18-70mm lens in the kit is fast to focus and smooth. I bought the Nikon because I already own a Nikon film camera and lenses, and the D70s was relatively easy to transition to because of the similar controls. 1/12/2006 10:08:40 PM

Eric DJ Babineau member since: 12/15/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 The D70s is a great camera for an individual starting out seriously in photography. Nikon has for the most part used the same mount for their lenses allowing any Nikon lens new or old to be mounted on the camera. The ergonomics are great making the camera very comfortable and the firmware is easy to use and understand. 12/15/2005 5:20:26 AM

Amy L. Carroll member since: 10/28/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 This is my first leap into the DSLR arena from a Fuji point and shoot camera. While I am still learning the more intricate features and manual modes, I have been out shooting pictures with just the auto features on and have gotten very impressive results. I have found that most of the pictures do need to be sharpened in whatever software program you use (I used the software that came with the camera...PictureProject) and once sharpened looks fantastic. Still working on learning the best way to capture and enhance skin tones. Great camera all around though and so far I'm very happy. 11/13/2005 3:25:51 PM

Since I'm in the "learning" stage I've loved the auto features...but I'm ready to start using manual and exploring, so we'll see how that goes. In addition to the 18-70mm lens, I purchased a macro lens (60mm) at the same time I bought the camera, which has brought lots of joy. I love floral photography and finally my photos are matching my "vision!" 10/27/2005 7:30:03 AM

Alisha L. Ekstrom member since: 1/30/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 So far I just received it & the pictures I took I LOVE them!! LOVE the clarity & the contrast of color!!! SUPERB camera thus far!!! 10/16/2005 7:42:00 AM
James T.  member since: 12/27/2003	Rating: 5 out of 5 Absolutely awesome! Even though I am currently still using the standard 18-70 mm lense, the possiblities are endless for this camera. 10/15/2005 1:59:38 PM
Darla J. Oathout member since: 10/3/2005	Rating: 3 out of 5 After using the Nikon F5 for the last few years, I feel the Nikon D70's metering doesn/t compare to the metering system that I am use too with the F5. It will take a lot of bracketing until I am familiar with the digital system. 10/12/2005 6:41:56 AM
NAVNITH KRISHNAN member since: 10/4/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 I use both Nikon F65 SLR as well as Nikon D70s.I use interchangabl;e lenses Nikon 80-200mm F2.8 and 300mm lenses which are good for wildlife photography. 10/7/2005 6:38:07 AM
Richard Beaubien member since: 9/28/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 I'm still working through learning the in's & out's of this camera. There's much to learn about the responsiveness of digital film and exposure. Mechancially and feature-wise this camera is very fine. The D70s compares favorably against any other camera at this level. 10/7/2005 3:58:59 AM
Candace Craw-Goldman member since: 6/23/2003	Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Like this camera pretty well, except for it is slow, and the body is made of plastic 10/5/2005 10:06:20 AM
Daniel Gochnauer member since: 9/30/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Good camera. Also have a Canon rebel, nice too 10/1/2005 1:15:22 PM
Shelly Davis member since: 9/21/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 Love it! Can shoot as many pictures as I want and delete the ones I don't like. Just beginning so it also enables me to take practice shots then view them immediately. It seems to do everything! 9/28/2005 11:49:34 AM
Christopher AKA Goldfinga member since: 5/19/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 I have the "D70sKit" (D70s Body + AF-S 18-70mm DX ED Lens). It took me over a year and a half in deciding to make the move to a DSLR. The choice for a "nikon" wasn't so difficult as I have always had (and still have) Nikon equipment (FM, FE, F501, F100, Various Nikkor lenses (and other makes with "nikon fit"), SB flashes, etc..). I followed a lot of threads in different forums complimenting or criticising the "amature" or "entry-level DSLR" from Nikon, however, when I saw the "D70s Kit" at an incredibly low price (compared to what I had seen from many of the major camera stores), I took the plunge. All I can say is that it is an absolutely fantastic camera - more than I had expected! The worst part is getting home with the new camera and having to wait 2-3 hours for the battery to charge up before being able to use it! Although it does seem to have a lot of "plastic" it really is solidly built. It instantly "feels nikon". With the fully charged battery, the camera is instantly ready to go (and I mean instantly!).. the AF is incredibly fast. The "kit" lens is excellent: typical nikkor quality and performance for an economical all-rounder zoom lens. I would recommend anyone who wants to move to an excellent DSLR to buy the D70s. Also, if anyone is undecided about what lens to choose, with the 18-70 one can't go wrong as an "all-rounder walk around". (I would also recommend reading Thom Hogan's guide to the D70/D70s... TH explains a lot about getting the best from this camera!). 9/27/2005 12:17:35 PM
Ezwa S. Ikram member since: 9/24/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 excellent photos, & user friendly. good startup time. ready for next photo almost immediately 9/24/2005 5:02:45 AM
Zachary M. Steinle member since: 9/15/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 awsome camera! Can't beat this camera for the money. I have had it for around 4 months now and have never had this much fun taking pictures. I was never really a big fan of digital photography until I purchased this camera. My buddy Reid Morth used mine for about 30 minutes and then he was sold on a D70s. 9/18/2005 4:47:13 PM
Randy  A. Myers Contact Randy Randy 's Gallery member since: 8/20/2002	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I like this camera quite a lot. It handles well and produces a nice image. I would like it to be about 12 megapixels and a little lower noise in the higher ISO range. I highly recommend this camera. 9/18/2005 7:20:01 AM
Richard P. Lussier member since: 8/30/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 I've just bought this incredible camera, but from what I've researched and experienced in the first few days of ownership, I have much to look forward to in my new hobby. 9/16/2005 8:56:46 PM
Reid  M. Morth member since: 9/14/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 I've only had the camera for a short while, but I've done a ton of research and for the money this is the camera you want if your serious about photography. 9/14/2005 8:57:54 PM

Janet Dietz member since: 1/19/2002	Rating: 5 out of 5 Brand new to me...but already I'm in love. I can't believe how often I'm choosing to use complete manual mode and getting great results. Should have done this a long time ago. 8/16/2005 3:38:17 AM
Donamari T.  DAndrea member since: 8/11/2002	Rating: 4 out of 5 I got the D70s only because my D100 was having problems focusing quickly in my studio. In this area, the D70s is vastly improved, as is the shutter lag. I do miss a larger camera body and the general layout of the D100, but I'm finding the D70s a formatable piece of equipment. Oh, and be forewarned, you have to upgrade to CS2 if you shoot raw with the D70S (not the D70) or use Nikon Capture to process and convert for PS. 8/10/2005 5:31:01 PM
Trevor G. Ellsmore member since: 8/2/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I love the speed of the thing--writes fast, starts up without any lag. Great for shooting sports. It's not complicated. The color is accurate. I've been having too much fun to even think about what I don't like. Well if there is one thing--I would have liked Nikon to have made it an eight megapixel. 8/10/2005 2:10:25 AM
Shiva  member since: 4/20/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 Strong/accurate metering, good and comfortable feel in the hands. User freindly controls and menus. 8/8/2005 3:12:16 AM
Darrel Smith member since: 7/1/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 My first SLR Digital. An easy camera to use with the auto selections available. Excellent documentation on the advanced functions. 8/6/2005 5:59:53 PM
Maria A. Fernandez member since: 9/9/2004	Rating: 5 out of 5 I purchased this camera last Monday and so far I love it. I like the feel of it and it's easy to learn, I own a Nikon N70 and various lenses which I can use with my new camera. 8/5/2005 4:53:54 PM
Frank A. Nielsen member since: 8/2/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 I have just got my brand new NIKON D70s - i'm very excited and looking foreward to get to know it. 8/4/2005 5:10:48 AM
Bjorn Wive bjornwive.com member since: 4/27/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Possibly the best value-for-money Digital SLR available right now, I love it! Only minor drawback is that it can't shoot 100 ISO (lowest setting is 200). But, with the DX 18/70 ED kit lens, it more than makes up for the minor issues, ad a decent wideangle and a 200 or 300 zoom to it, and Bob's your uncle! :-) It feels and handles like a much more expensive SLR. 8/3/2005 8:56:04 AM
Pamela A. Tumblin member since: 7/28/2005	Rating: 4 out of 5 So far it works well..It needs a better zoom but that's about it. 7/28/2005 6:10:37 PM
Michaelz  member since: 3/25/2004	Rating: 4 out of 5 Too early to tell much about my two weeks old D70s. There is nothing that I dislike so far. I specificaly like D70s handling: it fits in my hand very well, much better than Canon 20D that I tried. It also has fantastic LCD monitor that you can use even in daylight. D70s replaced two Nikon N80 bodies that I liked a lot. I purchased Tamron 18-200 with it. As do-it-all lens it is terrific, but pretty slow focusing. I have other faster and better lenses. Nikon software that comes with the camera is totally useless. It does not even display EXIF file info or histogram. I removed it from my laptop. 7/28/2005 7:50:15 AM
Richard Chan Yu Tin Contact Richard Richard's Gallery member since: 6/17/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Nikon D70s is a great 6.1 Mpixels DSRL. You can power it up in 0.2 sec and therefore is always ready to shoot. Since I am already a Nikon user, the D70s is very easy to use and in my opinion, the buttons are all in the right place for quick shooting. Pros: „X Price for a DSLR „X Matrix and Spot metering „X Depth-of-field-preview „X 3 frames per sec „X Different operating mode such as Auto and Manual mode „X Choice of shooting in RAW and JPEG simultaneously „X Camera feel and look „X Remote control Cons: „X 6.1 mpix instead of 8 mpix „X Minimum ISO setting of 200 instead of a lower setting. 7/27/2005 9:02:35 AM
Patrick Perron member since: 6/6/2005	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Great digital camera ! It's controls are laid out in the same manner as the other Nikon SLR cameras I own so I didn't lose any time. I am however, still learning how to set the various image settigns (saturation, white balance ...) 7/27/2005 3:39:55 AM

I am very happy with the speed and color produced at this point as I continue to try different things with the camera. 7/22/2005 12:18:04 PM

Rudra Mandal Contact Rudra Rudra's Gallery member since: 11/10/2003	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I am using the camera for last couple of week. So far I am pleased with its result. 6/27/2005 5:04:39 AM
Allison & John Overton member since: 1/31/2004	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Instant photos help to determine if you have the right light and aperture settings for the photo you are expecting. I really like the Nikon software which gives you the ability to preview a photo. The clarity is great and color saturation very good. I only wish that this camera could go as low as 50 ASA/ISO 6/22/2005 4:45:25 AM
Tammie Wilson member since: 6/21/2005	Rating: 5 out of 5 Incredible clarity, wonderfully fast. Powered with the new DX lens, it beats the competition hands down! 6/21/2005 12:07:47 PM
