Pros: CCD quality, lightness of the file, quality feel of the body

Cons: None actually

Opinion: I state that what follows is my personal experience with evaluations that have nothing technological therefore it must be taken as it is said this I tell you that, out of curiosity and love for the brand, I invested a few tens of euros but just a few tens maybe fifty including expenses, in a D70 and a D70s, expecting the arrival of old ladies without great pretensions while knowing the quality of CCD sensors. As a logical premise I specify that a few years ago I moved to Fuji after 40 years of Nikon passing through Olympus but Nikon is in my heart and I own dozens of analog bodies and still D80 and D200 that every now and then I take around to take a few shots for a shot of nostalgia and every time I appreciate the overall quality and the unattainable colors but also the big limits, then I put them back in the box, then, lately, having to do some particular photo shoots I repurchased D4 D810 D610 D750 and some Half and depending on what I have to do I take Fuji or Nikon, days ago I received these two "old women" and net of technologies, millions of MPX science fiction functions, non-existent menus I inserted a CF, mounted a simple 18-105 and I took randomly even automatically, certain that I had only done an exercise in nostalgia confirmed by the ridiculous display that tells you that you took a photo but just that. In the evening, out of curiosity, I download the files and a world opens up to me..... Those 6Mpx appear to be of an unthinkable sharpness almost equal to the files produced by the esoteric 3 Mpx of my Sigma SD10 and 14 which, however, have immense limits of usability that everyone knows but returning to the 70SS I see colors to make my other Nikons pale with lenses worth thousands of euros and, above all, an absurd three-dimensionality all for images that returned exactly what I had seen with the naked eye and that even enlarging to the limit of the pixels they never blurred, at most they highlighted the sensor grid. I take photos for passion experimenting with all types of lenses and cameras, from old Kodak Cyclo of the late '800 to plate to bodies of the latest production and, for heaven's sake, knowing that you have to use low ISO is certainly a limit in general, but not for me who shot with 100 and max 400 films and I didn't have today's problems and like me, I am convinced, all my "analog boomer" companions so I don't live them today but I confess that after those shots I began to look with suspicion and disappointment at the new bodies, beautiful, performing and rich in technology, experiencing the subtle suspicion that perhaps I did not understand anything ...... Someone will say that maybe I don't know how to use these bodies, maybe it's true or not, but I have lived this and I want to tell it.

Pros: Robust and semi-pro body, 1/8000 click, CCD sensor, double ring, internal AF engine and very advantageous used price.

Cons: Dated machine yes, but its 17 years is very good, so I would say that I do not find any beyond the small monitor and noise beyond 500 ISO. All compatible with age.

Opinion: I bought it (D70) in 2004 paying for over 1150 coffees and it was love at first sight, then following the wave of evolution Nikon switched to the later models, D80, D300 and so on. Fifteen years later, I decided to buy it back from the one I sold it to. Surely there is an affective motivation behind it, being my first DSLR, but I am sure that in its small way it will find a dignified space even among my FF. Highly recommended for those who want to enter the world of digital photography by spending a derisory amount.

Pros: Constructive strength but at the same time practical and light to carry.

Cons: Nothing unless it's a problem to have a 2.00" display, a CCD sensor and 6.00 MPIXEL.

Opinion: Excellent reflex purchased even if I already own a D70 I use for the B/N and from many satisfactions, I do not care if you can not use it at high ISO as reflex latest. For landscape photos I use the lowest sensitivity and for interior photos I use a Flash Nikon SB-600 or SB-800. Even having a Nikon D7100 I do not tire of using this Nikon d70s that still gives a lot of satisfaction because of the CCD sensor that I like a lot as you get photos with warm tones and in the landscapes you notice. My d70s is also equipped with BATTERY GRIP of competition nowhere to be found.

Pros: 2016... fantastic, modified Nm720 infrared ________________ 2019.......... Bought for second body and ISO 1600 old

Cons: ISO up to 400

Opinion: 2019... I found a deal on Ebay and I took it, but this time it's a normal SLR. With D70 I snapped at 1600 and I presume, though of little, at the same sensitivity is better. This year in August I will be a guest at a wedding and along with the D200 with the Nikon af 35-70 f2.8 and Nikon af 70-210 f4, I'll do some shots that I'll use to create an Old Style photo book. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________... bought modified Nm720 infrared and I keep using it for pet weddings doing some particular infrared shots. 6MP is enough, I printed in 50x75. Difficult for me to free myself and will continue to be in my outfit for many years. Only drawback I found is the noise above the 400 ISO but exceeded with professional lenses stabilized.

Pros: rugged, built-in motor, good yield ISO 200-800

Cons: low resolution compared to the most recent, small monitor

Opinion: purchased in 2006, was a great machine (classified semi pro), it is now outdated, exceeding 800 ISO the noise is very annoying, mounting an external flash, old model you can shoot at 1/8000 (sometimes it might come in handy) very sturdy and solid, I have scrambled enough inserting it in rucksacks with other items, as they now found at low prices is a good car to start with SLRs

Pros: excellent strength, precision autofocus, color rendering, low cost of used, 1/500 sync.

Cons: low-resolution LCD monitor, lack shooting raw / jpeg end, lack AFA

Opinion: I recently purchased this reflex are satisfied with the accuracy of autofocus, bright images with vibrant colors nitidi.Ottima as a second body, also excellent for those who want to enter the world of DSLR without spending big money, provides the internal autofocus motor is fully compatible with all the old optical Nikkor.Permette AF lenses to shoot with AI in this case you have to use an external exposure that the reflex is not funziona.La strength of the body is remarkable in ytenendola hand you have the feeling that you have in your hands something important, it is a reflex but a bit old snob, has high-level solutions, shutter 8millesimi of a second buffer up to 144 shots, mounts to support the Compact Flash media very stable and safe, personally I use in my photos in macro .
