Pros: 2 rings, ergonomics, weight

Cons: None for the type of machine

Opinion: Very nice machine, much appreciated the 2 rings, you can not criticize the few pixels and the ISO sensitivity thinking about the years that you carry on your shoulders, unfortunately I had to retire it since over time the memory card reader had broken, too bad I would have liked to take it with me in my adventures. Perhaps the only flaw is the monitor a bit 'small but maybe it's because now I'm used to current monitors that in comparison are spaceships.

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 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: 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.

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.
