...an infa-red remote trigger). Nikon has also kindly provided a firmware (the software which runs the camera) update on line, which allows you to benefit from all the upgrades made to the software in the D70S, including better focussing and clearer menus. Finally, the camera! The D70 is 6 megapixel camera, it has the ability to use just about any lens in the Nikon range, or any third party lens with a Nikon mount - although older lenses may not ...
...you're a hulking ape, the Nikon is for you! Two jog dials in front and behind the shutter button control the most obvious settings in the various modes. Numerous of the camera controls are also user-definable through the menu system, allowing you to set up the camera to what best fits you. The LCD on the back is clear and easy to view in all but the brightest sunlight. As well as viewing your shots, the LCD also displays the menu system, which ...

Review of Nikon D70s

...The camera came with Nikon Capture 4 editing software as a 30 day trial, and I liked the software so purchased it (about £100) once the trial ran out, and have since upgraded to Capture NX. For previewing my photos prior to editing I use the excellent Nikon View software which is freely downloadable. Nikon View recognises my camera when I connect it to my laptop via the USB cable and downloads any new photos, as well as synchronises the camera's ...
...to remove the CF card from their camera and use a card reader instead, and many PCs & Laptops have built in card readers. It can become pretty addictive, and I spend a lot of time on flickr learning from others. The camera pretty much goes wherever I go so that I don't miss any good photo opportunities! ...

Review of Nikon D70s

...apparent to me that the NIKON D70S was by far superior in many respects. The size of the camera means that you can hold it without fear of it dropping or slipping out of your hand - I found other cameras too small. The feel exudes quality - there are no flimsy bits, the lens supplied (nikon) is a top quality lens - not a budget version found on the cheaper d50 or on the canon 350d. The speed of functions is stunning compared to my previous digital ...
...done in a flash, readyness of integral flash is very fast and write speed to memory card is also very quick, even with a slow er version of the compact flash card. Image quality is the very important issue here and for someone who is used to an SLR the variation in depth of field obtained is stunning. I also appreciated the manual setting for exposure - the exposure options area full range of programs plus aperture priority, shutter priority and ...

Review of Nikon D70s

...back of my mind that Nikon lenses were slightly superior. I set off with the intention of buying a Canon 350D , and, in the shop, my heart told me that was the camera for me. My head had other ideas! The build quality of the Nikon and especially the lens included in the kit made my mind up for me. I left the shop feeling like I'd commited adultry, but, since then I've had no reason to doubt the wisdom of my choice. Quite simply, the Nikon D70s ...
...D200 with its higher resolution sensor, but, on the other hand I could buy another D70s ( a camera I've come to know and love) for much less money. All in all, I couldn't recommend the Nikon D70s too highly. Get one and see what you've been missing ...

Review of Nikon D70s

The Nikon D70 and D70s were a breakthrough in performance/price when they came out. They have now been succeeded by the D80 and D90, but this does not make the D70 a less worthy camera. It can be noted that it is 'only' 6 mega pixels compared to 12 mega pixels of the later models, and even compact cameras have more MP's than the D70s. This should only concern you if you are making large prints though. It still uses a large and high quality sensor ...
...even a new and expensive compact camera. If you are looking for a cheap entry into the world of dSLR I would recommend it. You can find it second hand for less than £200, its quite a bargain. There are many guides out there on how to get the best out of it as it was and still is such a popular camera. I am not going to go into its features in this review as there are many in depth guides a google search away, I am just making aware that if you are ...

Review of Nikon D70s

I have had the nikon D70s for a couple of years now and find it excellent. It is my first SLR camera so don't really have anything to compare it to but everything I want is there. You can view some photos I've taken at www.gwizcards.co.uk although they aren't done justice by the compression on the site. I find the Automatic setting is usually perfectly fine unless there is certain effects you want or tricky conditions. I did try using a 2x converter (not nikon but a jessops make) which in my opinion doesn't really help as it is slow to auto focus and picture quality is no (or Very little) better than simply enlarging a photo taken without it ...
