Pros: CCD quality, file lightness, body quality feel
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. |
