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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
