The Nikon D70s is the successor to the 6.1 MP D70 digital SLR introduced in 2004. The D70s has the following improvements:
# Improved 5-area autofocus system now has an all-area search priority to complement the single area, dynamic area, and close subject priority modes, improving the ability to acquire focus on fast moving subjects within the frame.
# A larger 2.0-inch LCD monitor, making it easier to review images and access menus.
# Added a port for the MC-DC1 electronic cable release (optional) which allows users to trigger the camera and hold the shutter open for timed exposures.
# The built-in Speedlight now has a wider angle of coverage, supports 18mm lenses.
# New easier-to-read menu design uses color-coded menus with a larger type-face.
# A higher capacity Li-ion battery yields more pictures per charge.
# USB port now supports USB 2.0 high-speed data transfer rates.
Steve’s Digicams verdict?
While its resolution falls 2-megapixels short of Canon’s industry-leading Digital Rebel XT, the D70s offers very good shooting performance and excellent image quality. Users of consumer digicams will find that the D70s’ responsiveness, viewfinder clarity, and image quality at high ISO settings overcome the limitations of their current equipment.
