Product Details

Based on the award-winning image quality, high performance and user-friendliness of the Nikon D70, the Nikon D70S offers several refinements that will further enhance your digital SLR experience. For starters the D70s features a 6.1 effective megapixel Nikon DX format CCD that yields 3,008 x 2,000-pixel images that are suitable for making large prints, or for creative cropping to bring out detail. With a power-up time of a mere 0.2 seconds, this SLR is basically ready to shoot when you are. Pictures are processed and recorded extremely quickly, and preview images appear on the LCD monitor almost instantly.

Features:

	6.1-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 14 x 19-inch prints
	Includes AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED-IF lens
	2.0-inch LCD display; power-up time of approximately 0.2 seconds

Consumer Feedback

"If you aren't sure if the D70s is worth the money over the D50 or the D70, it is. The improved autofocusing system is much better than the others and the larger LCD is worth all the tea in China! I leave the LCD protector that came with it on and have no problem seeing my pictures, even outside. Although this is a larger camera than the D50, it isn't much of a difference and you will regret going with the cheaper camera."

"When Nikon has brought out an `s' camera, it is virtually a sure thing that this is a camera you want to get your hands on. The D70s is not an exception. With essentially instant-on (.2 seconds), improved built in flash, a larger and brighter lcd screen, and especially the abilitry to take up to 144 exposures at 3 frames per second make this an incredible improvement to the existing D70. Imagine the sports or wildlife exposures you have the chance to get with this capability! "

"I love the layout of this camera. Every important function (bracketing, white balance and white balance fine-tuning, etc.) can be easily accessed with buttons and dials without having to fumble through menus on the LCD. The camera turns on in a blink and there is no delay between pressing the shutter and the picture being taken."
