Disadvantages: weight, not compact, won't suit all photographers, risk of dust as all DSLRs

I'm going to have a go at a little bit of an unconventional start to the review - apologies to those who know most of the following, but I believe this information could be useful to those considering in investing in a DSLR for the first time. If you just ...

Review of Nikon D70s

Ideal introduction to the DSLR world

Advantages: Ergonomics, choice of lenses, build quailty
Disadvantages: Viewfinder not as good as D80/D200

Review of Nikon D70s

Professional quality at an unbeatable price

Advantages: Build Quality, lenses, Nikon name.
Disadvantages: Menus not intuitive.

As a professional photographer for nearly 30 years, I expected to be dead and gone long before digital cameras could rival the image quality of 35mm film cameras, let alone my trusty medium format Hasselblad! How happy I am to have been proved wrong. ...
