This is my first DSLR (I’m 17 years old) and it works great. I was on a budget and everything about this camera is great. I’m going to slowly invest in accessories and lenses and eventually, as a gain more experience I’ll move on up to a bigger and better body, but for now this was a great investment. =)

I’m a serious amateur who has used the D70s for nearly three years for paid gigs and personal use. Focusing and frame rate are fast enough for nearly every event I’ve ever been to. Photojournalists will be pleased, but sport shooters may want to look for another option.
don’t let the lower MP count scare you away from this little gem; prints enlarge just fine up to 11X14 (I don’t usually print larger than that). Battery life on the D70s leaves nothing to be wanted. I’ve shot almost all day on one charge. if you bring a spare battery, you’ll have no worries.
The LCD is on the smaller side, but its adequate for checking exposure, and you can also detect any camera shake. No complaints. The menu system is very straightforward and easy to use.
Controls on the camera body are placed within easy reach and you can change most settings without removing your eye from the viewfinder — a big plus. Metering is usually very good, but sometimes I’ve had to use compensation to nail exposure. some people make this out to be a huge problem, but it really isn’t. just know enough about your camera to make it do what you want it to do under any lighting conditions.
I gave the D70s a four instead of five because after a couple years of use, the built-in flash seems to be dying an early death. It doesn’t fire all the time anymore. Not a huge problem if you use speedlights attached to the body, but it has become a problem in the nikon creative lighting system, which is one of the reasons I wanted the camera.
All in all, a wonderful camera to use. its well-built, allows for full creative control, keeps up at most events and allows for full use of nikon lenses.
I owned the D40 for a little over two years before purchasing a used D70s in June 2009. On the internet I found there was little information comparing these two cameras and those that did all recommended the D40 over the D70 because of the larger screen and better jpeg quality straight out of camera. From my experience, the D40 is also noticably better at high ISOs and the auto white balance is a bit warmer.
Despite these facts, I am very happy with my decision to swap to a D70s. The external controls make the camera a pleasure to use. It is quick to change ISO and white balance (including preset white balance and white balance fine tuning) and flash exposure compensation and flash mode, all without using menus. These make camera operation much faster. The matrix meter on the D70s is significantly better than the D40’s. The D40 consistently overexposes dark-coloured objects (or pets!) leading to blown highlights in the rest of the scene, and exposure compensation continually needs to be applied. This isn’t a big deal for still objects but for moving creatures you don’t always get a second chance! Another big advantage of the D70s is the ability to autofocus with AF prime lenses. Since purchasing this camera I have bought a 50mm f/1.4 lens and it has replaced my 18-200mm as the lens I leave on the camera. The low-light performance of this lens far offsets the slight loss in high ISO quality of the camera. It also allows huge control over depth of field which adds a lot of interest and is a lot of fun to play around with!
I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a camera that was already long out of date, but for my needs it works perfectly! In fact, because of the D70s’ meter, I’d choose it over the D80. For the price the D70s is going second hand, it’s still a great buy today.
I am an amateur photographer who stretched a few years back to buy a Nikon D70 based on Nikon’s reputation for quality and durability. The camera has taken great photos, but recently had a shutter failure that Nikon is charging over $200 to fix. Research shows this is a known issue with the Nikon D-series – no matter how good the images, if the camera only lasts a couple of years in light use, you do NOT want to spend a lot of money on it. Forget Nikon – buy a Canon!
So I’ve owned my Nikon D70s now for over 2 years and it is a great camera. I use to own a Nikon D50 which I passed along to my younger sibling after purchasing the Nikon D70s body from a local photographer who upgraded to the Nikon D3 after its release. This camera was kept in pristine shape and shoots like a dream. The Nikon controls are easy to me but I am familiar with them from the D50. The D70s offers a few more controls than the D50 but the picture quality is still the same. The other difference is it uses the CF card compared to the SD card the D50 uses. So be aware of that. If you do not have CF cards, you’ll need to buy more. Oh, also the D70s uses the DX lenses along with the regular Nikon lenses unlike the D40, D40x and D60 which can only use the DX lenses. So, if you have or are able to get a hold of some older Nikon Nikkor lenses, you should be good to use them on this body.
This camera fits large in hand so if you’re a bigger guy with bigger hands (or woman
) you will like the feel of this camera as it gives you full control of the hold. The built in pop-up flash is excellent. Manual controls are great too. You can easily switch from Manual to Automatic with the flip switch next to the lens on the front of the camera.
I’ve use this camera to take many Macro and Scenic pics at different gardens around the country. I’ve added some sample images here. The shots by CXG are mine. As I travel, I always make an excuse to get out and shoot and this camera lets you do that with ease. Battery life is really really good. On a full charge, I can take up to just over 600 snaps before the battery just dies. Yes, 600 pictures.
Nikon got it right with this camera. I am not a “super-pro” photographer but I have shot weddings and events with this camera and have done very well financially with the images this camera has produced. And people love the images taken with this camera.
Please “DO NOT” worry about megapixels when it comes to DSLR or digital cameras for that matter. 6.1 is more than enough. I have blown up pictures without any noise (Noise is the grainy look in picturs) up to 30×20 and they look fabulous at the 6.1 MP setting. [...] Ken is a Nikon guy so, just be aware of that.
I got this camera as a kit purchased off the Internet from an online merchant (not Amazon) in 2004. It dodn’t come with the same equipment as this one, but it did include the camera body, 2 lenses, cleaning kit, sunshade, 3 filters, a macro lens, a charger and 2 extra batteries, a mini and compact tripod, a soft case and hard travel case.
Even though it came with all these accessories (the compact tripod was junk, as was the charger, the batteries didn’t fit in it, and the macro lens was low-quality), the lenses weren’t the same Nikkor ‘DX’ AF-S IF ED lenses this one comes with. My camera came with the lower quality AF-S ‘G’ line lenses (no ED glass elements or IF focusing).
There’s a lot to like about the D70S, which is an upgraded version of the D70. It was recommended to me by a freelance photographer who does work for a popular magazine (National Geographic), so I bought it on their recommendation. If I had a choice, I’d have got the Canon Digital Rebel, but this one hasn’t dissapointed me. It’s got all the features of a modern SLR, but with the convenience of a digital camera. Everything on this camera is adjustible: F-stop, exposure, focusing, focal lengths, white balance, shutter speeds, flash profiles, you name it. Although not as critical for beginner photographers (it does have an ‘auto’ mode, no tweaking requiried), there are several manual modes which allow you to adjust things.
It takes great pictures for 6.1 megapixels on its own in the ‘Auto’ function, but if you can use the manual modes, they only get better.
My only gripes with the D70S are the low MP rating (it’s advertised as 6.1, the comparable Canon’s are 8-10), smallish LCD display (only 2″), and the size/weight (it wenghs almost 2 lbs for the body only-Canon’s Rebels are much more compact and lightweight). Another minor complaint is that it also takes Compact Flash (CF) memory cards. They’re more expensive than SD or SDHC cards as far as capacity, and larger. It’s not very user-friendly either; it has taken me a while to get all the particulars of this camera down to the point they are useful.
To be fair, the feature-set was advanced and the norm for 2004, but Canon makes a better camera (lighter weight, smaller, more user-friendly, easier to use).
Pluses are the nearly infinite adjustibility (albeit there’s a learning curve), high quality, fast start-up times, and the wide variety of lenses you can use with it. If you can afford it, avoid the standard Nikkor lenses and go for the DX line with the ED glass elements and improved IF functions or image-stabilization.
Although I prefer and recommend Canon for cameras, this is a good-enough camera that once you figure out how to use it, you can start shooting pictures just like the big gun photographers!
I have been using the camera for about 3 months now and I am completely satisfied with the results. Being a point and shoot owner previously the step to SLR took a little understanding, but it wasnt anything overly complicated. In fact, I often use the Auto setting and the camera snaps pics just like a PNS, just quicker!! The camera takes extremly clear pictures and my family was very impressed with all the pictures I took over the holidays. If you are a person who likes to crop photos, then I suggest you always keep the file size and format at the highest setting. While this will take up more space and produce larger files, there is almost no loss when cropping pictures. If your really particular about cropping images and plan on retaining the highest quality, then I suggest purchasing the D40x, which is the exact same camera, but the 10.1 MP model. I went with the D40 and spent the extra money on upgrading to the 18-135 lens instead, which is also a practical everyday use lens. I am sort of addicted to taking and developing pictures now that I have this camera. I still have plenty to learn, but I am having fun and gaining an appreciation for my Nikon camera. I almost never miss a shot, and that was one of my biggest complaints with the PNS’s.
As far as Amazon goes, you cant go wrong!! I searched over 15 different places to buy this camera (most of them online). I paid 15 dollars more then the lowest price I found online, but I knew who and what I was dealing with when choosing Amazon and so I didnt mind the few extra dollars. Many other online sites try to upsell you accesories and sometimes the tactics get downright nasty. I have never had a bad experience with Amazon and I have bought quite a few large ticket items from here. Save yourself the time and purchase your camera here. Great price, fast and free shipping, and a nice customer service dept if you need them.
I love my D40. It is my first Digital Nikon SLR and i certainly no the last. I will recommend to everyone who are new to digital slr cameras. It is light weight and nothing comes close to its performance in 6 MP world. I am looking forward to buying a D300 sometime this year and would use D40 for the backup.
