The Nikon D70 (now updated with the D50) is an absolutely fabulous digital camera. For the "amateur", it's a high end do-everything digital camera. You can set the camera to do everything for you, or you can manually focus, set the aperture, and the lighting to "push" the picture. Downloading to your camera is as easy as taking the digital card out of the camera, putting it into a "reader" and then downloading using a USB cable. The D70 body is fairly light, but still sturdy. And Nikon lenses (either fixed focal or telefoto) are terrific lenses for both their prisms and their optics.

Fairly easy...

The Nikon D70 DSLR is a great camera.  I purchased it with the kit lens.  The camera is easy to use, takes great photographs, and holds up well even after being dropped (a few times).   I have taken wedding photographs, portraits, and I have even photographed birth photos with this camera and have gotten outstanding results a majority of the time.  I have had 16x20 prints and higher made from photos taken with this camera.  They have turned out beautifully.  My only criticism of this camera is that at the higher ISO settings the photos do become grainy, but usually the graininess can be...

My husband and I received this camera for Christmas and I LOVE IT!  We have 2 very active girls and it's hard to get a picture if your camera is slow.  I love the Nikon D70, because not only is the shutter speed fast, but it takes numerous pictures in a matter of seconds, so I can catch candid photos of my girls playing.  If I want a posed picture, the camera will allow me to take several pictures while everyone else is getting one shot.  The picture is very clear, it self focuses easy, you can get a close shot very quickly with just a turn of the lens in front.  I think that even someone...

I have owned the Nikon D70s for almost two years and have taken well over 12,000 photographs with it. The D70 has an extaordinary battery life, a large variety of both Nikon and non-Nikon lenses.

The D70s allows complete manual control like a traditional 35mm camera, but also offers a wide range of user friendly automatic modes allowing budding photographers to get a feel for the camera.

There is a large variety of accessories available for the D70s including a great Nikon speedlite flash, remote shutter release, off-camera flash bracket, etc.

The body of the camera is sturdy and well constructed,...

We purchased this camera a while back, It has been wonderful, it is like having professional pictures done. We have taken very candid shots of our children and they have come out great, professional quality. The zoom attachment is incredible, we have taken pictures of our children and there friends playing and they had no clue. I was able to print them and frame. We have not been to a professional photographer since we have purchased this Nikon. We are actually thinking about upgrading to the newer model. We were extreamly impressed with it and showed my father in law who loved it and went out...

The Nikon series of cameras, D40-D80, give the eprformance of a lifetime.  The optics are the best that one can buy at a retail establishment.  It is clearly professional grade.  The 15-55 lens does most thigns that I need, but by adding a 300 mm zoom lens I am able to capture magazine quality images of wildlife.  The regular lens gives impeccable landscape images.  The camera body is shaped for easy holding.,  This is critical if one is spending 4-5 hours in a photo shoot or waiting for the right momemnt to capture wildlife.

With perhaps the exception of the battery compartment cover, the D70 is very well built. If you pick up the Digital Rebel and then the D70, you'll notice a huge difference. The Rebel feels light and plasticky, while the D70 has some weight to it, and feels like it can take whatever you throw at it. As you'd expect with an SLR, it's very easy to hold, with a large grip for your right hand (with the lens being the resting spot for your left).

this is a wonderful camera. it has loads of features. i haven't had this camera long but i can tell you what i have learned about it so far.

     it takes beautiful photos, it reduces red eye, if not eliminates it completely. you can also set it to remember a face and focus in on it in a crowd of people. this camera also has a good zoom on it, so if you don't, or can't get close to something, you can still take a lovely picture of it. this camera is very handy and is a great camera to start taking professional...

My Nikon D70 camera takes really great pictures.  The zoom allows for clear pictures from a good distance.  Recently on a river boat trip I took pictures of people on shore, and it was like they were next to me. The camera is light and easy to handle. It focuses automatically and provides very clear and crisp pictures. The portrait setting provides excellant closup photos of people. This is my first SLR digital camera, and will not got back to a point and shoot camera, except in a need of a pocket camera.

The Nikon D70 is an affordable entry level DSLR camera. The features are great for the serious hobbyist. It allows you to have full manual control, along with other modes to control aperture and shutter speed. Good camera for the price. I do struggle for all of my pictures to get in focus, but that's when you take the camera off auto mode. I do recommend you take the time to learn your camera. I've had it close to a year now and am still learning a lot about the camera.

I love this camera.  It has many settings.  It can take many pictures very fast.  Instant on.  I've had this camera for over 3 years, and have never had a problem with it.  You can purchase nearly any type of lens to attach to it.  For the less experienced camera users, like myself, you can set it to auto and take excellent pictures.

Ok, seriously, this camera is amazing! So easy to use! Takes fast clear amazing pics! I had a sony cybershot previously that was ok, but this camera kicks its booty all over the place! I love the quick snap and the clarity. Love the lens, everything! I haven't learned how to use manual mode yet (had it about a year now) but never need it anyway!

I can't even begin to tell you how much i love this camera..

the quality is better than any digital camera that i've had yet, and i've had my fair share.

i recommend this for anyone who knows a little more than just "point and shoot" techniques..but ultimately, it's fairly easy to use.

I was given a Nikon D70 as a gift.  I love the autofocus - it works well in almost all situations.  It has many modes which give great control when changing lighting.  Mine is used in landscapes and portraits, and the clarity is beautiful.  This camera is worth the price.
