The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on April 27, 2021 Pros: in 2021? everything, price, components and quality Cons: I would say ISOs and small screen, but he's 17 years old, what do you want? Opinion: Q: Hi I would like to learn to photograph what you recommend? - A: Buy a D70 - D: Yes but I saw that it is old, blah blah blah, there is this model new blah blah blah blah - R: BUY AN OLD D70 !! This is more or less a standard discussion that many of us have with a neophyte who wants to enter the world of photography, and not knowing it rightly, is more inclined towards novelty than accepting some suggestions and starting with something old, but which to date is still valid. I started like this myself, with a photographer friend who gave me a lot of head to buy it. It was a great advice and the first great love never forgets. Internal motor, double knobs, simple menu and everything you need to be able to start taking your first steps in the world of photography without spending an eye of the head. 6 megapixels that pulled out beautiful Raw to work with, along with an old 50mm 1.8, I think I took some of the most beautiful shots of my years as a photographer. In the snow, in the sand, in the rain and even underwater it never gave me a problem, and its battery lasted much longer than that of my modern mirrorless. Those who start naturally will disdain the big body, the compact flash, the small screen and the high iso noise, but to date for the price at which it is located (under 100€), personally only its merits remain. If you're a newb and want to learn photography... buy a D70. |
 | sent on February 04, 2020 Pros: To date for what it costs is worth 5 times its price Cons: Its use can only remain useful in certain areas Opinion: To date buy this body even just to practice, have a reserve body or out of curiosity (as many enthusiasts do) is a great investment. Its main merits are that it never stops, it has ALL what it serves as functions, knobs etc. even at the most ISO the yield is respectable and the grain of noise is pleasant. What is unbearable is the very small display. For the rest, with the right optics, it returns very valid photos, as seen from the examples of the members below. |
 | sent on January 27, 2020 Pros: Robust from a constructive point of view, but at the same time light and handy to carry. CCD sensor Cons: Nothing for age Opinion: I find it a very good reflex and from the point of view of the files, obviously with regard to ISO you can not climb more than 800 causes noise a little accentuated but for certain photos in B/N if well exposed and with good optics you can get to 1600 ISO. Mine is also equipped with BATTERY GRIP of untraceable competition. I even bought a d70s just for the CCD (now they all have the CMOS sensor) and at low ISO the photographs obtained I like a lot. This refle like the D70S will not change them even if I have a newer D7100 at 24 Mpixel. I recommend it and being also with simple menus you can learn well to take photos. |
 | sent on July 10, 2019 Pros: Once the sensor was repaired, it worked well as long as it held the shutter Cons: Reliability at least in my esemplate, made in who knows but not in japan Opinion: I was unlucky, before the sensor produced a vertical purple line that the service decreed as poor power in that row of pixels and they replaced the sensor and then locked the shutter, all with a ridiculous number of clicks. Kept with extreme care given the cheap salasssssssssss. Held for a while as a paper clip then as soon as I could I changed brand. |
  | sent on March 29, 2018 Pros: robust, with a very soft shutter, low battery consumption Cons: slow Opinion: You will buy it when it came out in 2004 to replace an Olympus E10 and it was a real transition to the semi-pro digital world with instant ignition and snap and interchangeable optics, characteristics much higher than the panorama of digital machines of that time that certainly did not shine for speed; but it was a markedly 'consumer' machine born with the aim of attracting many amateur photographers to the digital world; but for a job that satisfied semi-pro needs like mine it was necessary to make miracles, because the burst was slow and very limited and the time of emptying the memory buffer became eternal for those who had to take action pictures. Even the project is not that it was particularly successful and suffered from problems that plagued the first models (among others: not shut down if not extracting the battery) Mine was repaired under warranty, but, as I know, the D70 does not it was subject to calls. This technical problem was quite strange, given its marked resemblance to the D100 (which flanked it in my kit as a secondbody) of which it seemed to be simply a new version. In hindsight, the images (both for D70 and D100) were a bit 'electronic', that is a bit distant from the plasticity and tonal richness of the successive machines, like already the D200 (great car), but already proved to be a huge step forward (towards the beauty of the analog) compared to the Olympus E10. However, I have to recognize some true merits probably rarely matched: first the shot, which was really soft, fluid and definitely unique in the panorama of the cameras I have owned (Olympus OM1, 2 and 4 apart), the lifting process of the mirror and shot was so fluid to seem motorized, that is, without rebounds and shocks, effectively canceling the shake. Mine, then, suffered a serious accident (with me that I kept her neck), during a ruinous fall my body car made a wide arc above my head to go crashing with all the energy su of the big boulders. The external structure cracked and had to be replaced, but ... incredibly it continued to work regularly. Plastic body, it's true, but although I still do not like having a 'plastic' machine around my neck after this experience, I'm led to think that Nikon knows very well how to make durable plastic car bodies. The second experience was equally astonishing, when I found myself doing a (long) photo shoot inside the FIAT wind tunnel at a temperature of -43 degrees (43 below zero). The machine, equipped with a Nikkor AF 24-85 f2.8-4 always worked regularly even using the built-in flash, the real problem were the batteries that were planted after a few minutes (but just put them in your pocket to make them come back as necessary); and in the same way it always worked regularly during long days outdoors taking thousands of photos at a temperature of -20 and in that case without even battery problems; as they say: so much of a hat.The D70, at the time, a good grade 9 if it deserved it all. |
user130007  | sent on July 09, 2017 Pros: handy, robusta..tutto .. Cons: nobody Opinion: Apart from the age this car body is great..rnUsed a lot on several occasions it still does its duty, even at night .rnThe end is a car body with 13 years behind, but which I think is a twist to some bodies Currently on the market.rnAlthough the age reads the 16GB CF. |
 | sent on March 27, 2017 Pros: Semi-pro body, internal motor, double ring nut, CCD, 1/8000, 1/500 sine wave, infinite battery, good ISO 1600 Cons: No more age given yet. Opinion: Few commands a true semi-pro, taken to use it as a third body in weddings with the Nikon 50 f1.2 Ais. Great output up to 640 ISO and good yield from 800 to 1600 ISO, the grain that produces is fine. I will use the D70 for Black and White. In addition to recommending it to start it can be used as the second body for events, combining good lenses and flash as it was used a decade ago among professionals. Paying a nonsense certainly will not disappoint me and will stay with me a long time. Flash sync 1/500 what the current reflexes are dreaming of. In my gallery I took a photo at 1600 ISO and the result is amazing. Very fine and pleasant noise.rnThree for those who have to start especially for Semi-pro commands. |
  | sent on August 27, 2015 Pros: CCD sensor, internal motor for autofocus lenses not motorized, raw files light (ora..nel 2004, a little 'less ...), endless battery, flash sync speed 1/500, double ring times / stops, law CF 16 gb ( Sandisk Transcend and others do not know). A real pro seeds with which to learn how to photograph Cons: I would say no but can not 'be compared to current technology that uses and' still in 2004 Opinion: I made with this camera thousands of shots, some published here on JuzaPhoto (are only an amateur,) in all weather conditions and has never made a turn, triggered every time. After the theft I suffered last year, despite being in possession of other bodies more 'evolved, I immediately bought back by spending 80 euros with 18,000 clicks occurred, almost a pittance. And to think that in 2004 with the optical kits 18-70 I had paid 1,299 Euro.rnPer those who want to start to gain experience and 'a machine to own, I have seen also the matrimonial services with fixed lenses bright. rnScattate strictly in raw and low iso, possibly no more than 400, once you impratichisce its time / aperture gives beautiful images and colors similar to reality '(about the CCD). Just one warning on the white balance that is not 'always accurate but shooting in RAW you retrieve it in the post with a click.rnSe you have one that does not use more' I gladly buy it (and I'm not kidding). The primor love is never forgotten ... rnQuasi almost forgot ... the other day a colleague wanted a photograph of the first floor to update your profile Fb and was convinced that was better with his Iphone 6 ... "Iphone 6 with supertechnology 2014 vs Nikon d70 2004, the challenge "... guess who won and which photo he used ... |
 | sent on August 20, 2015 Pros: Lightweight, full-function, strength and durability, internal AF motor, eternal battery synchro flash at 1/500 Cons: Noise from ISO 800 up, JPEG made in difficult conditions Opinion: 6 # 39; last time you charged the battery, if you do not use the flash.rnScatta to 3fps; low by today's standards and probably Nikon could have already then do meglio.rnI JPEG, light conditions "difficult" such as at sunset, suffer from a WB tends to be fooled. Compared to a car today, you will find yourself much more often from RAW.rnLa resolution is one that is: if you are not pixel peeper, and if you need to crop heavily, is more than sufficient, and the files are leggerissimi.rnrnHo took many of My best photos with this machine and sometimes, when I know Scatterò with the sun and want to be light, the use even with satisfaction ... the first love you never forget ... |
 | sent on May 09, 2015 Pros: Solidity, durability, good file Cons: Obsolete Opinion: I have this machine from 2011, it purchased second hand and was the car in which I learned to photograph, no frills exclusively photo features "essential". I've never sold a bit 'for the price, a bit for a bond affettivo.rnAd today I am a D70 with about 50 thousand shots and not miss a beat, even though for the past three years the use very little! RnSicuramente not worth worth buying a copy, too old but despite this I think is a very good school to learn the basics of photography. rnGli positives today are difficult to enumerate because the machine is really dated, but despite this, the files it produces are of good quality, battery life is eternal, the body is indestructible. rnPer what the down side, one of the worst in my opinion is the white balance, too imprecise. rn |
 | sent on February 18, 2015 Pros: Price Cons: Obsolete Opinion: To date obsolete in all, this does not mean that it can not give great photos but definitely low dynamic range (better to use little contrasted lenses), ISO idem seal, unique sensor advantage by 6MPX that enhances virtually any lens, as well as a bottom of bottle like the 18-55 (which becomes ultra sharp and without AC); Recommended for mod IR 720nm, cheap filter and simple modification to make even at home. |
 | sent on April 09, 2014 Pros: handling, robustness, build quality, ease of use Cons: age (older than 10 years) noise from ISO 800 .... the rest is a good car Opinion: I have this machine for many years and I took her everywhere. was at the height of his compito.rnal the time of purchase was one of the best SLR, now is dated compared to the market .... rn ... does its duty if it is used within the hobby or amateur. in professional use is sorpassata.rnla but build quality is superior to standard d3xxx and d5xxx and 18-70 kit lens is of good quality yet oggi.rnla battery life is great and the quality of the photo prints A3 allows excellent and good with dimensions maggiori.rn ... it was my first SLR and as the saying goes ..... first love is never forgotten!! rn |
 | sent on December 17, 2012 Pros: Weight, compactness Cons: dated Opinion: I got this camera for use exclusively in Infrared and in fact you removed the filter anti-aliasing low-pass "IR CUT" in front of the sensor by adding a filter infrarosso.rnin this way, you can use the machine in common use even 1/1000 f8 unlike the system which involves the use of an IR filter placed in front of the objective but which forces the use of a tripod and shutter speeds higher than 3 seconds |
