Product Description
The Nikon D70s has all the award-winning features that made its predecessor so popular - 6.1 effective megapixels for clear, sharp resolution; top shutter speed of 1/8000 second and 1/500 second flash sync; near-instant power-up of 0.2 seconds for incredible responsiveness - and more. The D70s features an advanced AF system; its exceptional subject acquisition, focus tracking and focus precision functions ensure that your action shots will be even crisper and sharper. Built-in i-TTL Speedlight automatically pops up when lighting is inadequate and provides fill flash when necessary. Extra wide peripheral illumination supports lenses up to 18mm, for beautiful wide angle shots. The large 2.0-inch LCD monitor is easy to view and use, with plain-language menus and help dialogs presented clearly. For better results when shooting close-ups and long exposures, use the optional Remote Cord (MC-DC1). Add to all of this the incredible performance of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, powering up to 2500 shots per charge, and you have a superb digital SLR camera, always ready for action.

 Good DSLR September 6, 2008
T. Yoshida (Colorado)
The Nikon D70S is a very good beginner to intermediate digi slr. Easy to use but also has a lot of options and manual settings. Battery life is amazing. Taken at least 500+ photos in raw format and still have half battery. Well built, strong body. 6.1MP is decent. Everyone now a days thinks more is better more is better however 6.1 is plenty for me. It all comes down to the photographer anyways. Good for people who are beginning digital photography, def. worth the extra money over the D40.
100000 and still going September 2, 2008
Nikon Addict (St Petersburg, FL)
Have had this camera for over 3 years, have had it on ski trips, to Costa Rica 3 time, baseball tournaments, paintball tournaments, boating and fishing. This camera is a work horse as far as I'm concerned. I stopped counting at 100,000 pictures and it's still taking great shots without ANY problems. Have had many a Canon owners say they wished they had the Nikon. Waiting to purchase the new D90 when it comes out mainly for the faster fps. Gonna give my D70 to my 14 yo son. Can't say enough good things about his camera and the quality pictures I've taken!
 Great when it works- Service isn't worth the price June 22, 2008
A. Hupka (Morrison, CO)
I bought this camera 3 years ago, and it worked beautifully until on a long trip in Yellowstone. After changing the memory card, the mirror locked up, as other posts mention, making the camera completely useless. Since I was past the warranty period, Nikon told me I would be charged, even though they had (have) a vague-enough-to-weasel-out-of service advisory out for this problem. The way the service works is to receive the camera, have a front desk monkey put it into a cost-to-repair category, which you must then authorize payment for before they will proceed to actually see what is wrong with the camera. When I asked how they knew what it would cost and why it wasn't covered under the service advisory when they didn't know what the specific problem was, they just told me they always hear the same complaint (should be a warning to them), but that's the way they'd always done it. I should have bought a Canon. Their service is well-known to be top-notch in the industry, and the cameras are good quality for a lower price. I highly recommend AGAINST Nikon, unless you're buying lenses and flashes.
 too expensive, memory card not included January 12, 2008

better to buy a point and shoot, photo quality is just as good with Cannon A540, even when enlarging prints up to 36X24inches.
 Great quality Digital SLR, but probably better out there now. January 5, 2008

I got this camera a year or two ago, and it has been great for me. I use it once in a while to do some event and wedding photos on the side with my Video Production business - and it does just fine for the limited pictures I need to take for the events. The build and quality of the body itself is great, feels good in my hands and is fairly intelligent to use if you are used to SLR cameras.
I think at this point, there are some other cameras out there that you could get that might be better for the money by now, but this is still a great camera and takes very nice images. You can see a couple of my shots in the customer image gallery above.
You can't really go wrong with this, and the lens that comes with the camera is just fine - not bad at all. Although you will most likely want/need to get a telephoto lens in addition.
