Review Of Nikon D70
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 11:15 AM
"The D70, announced on 28th January 2004 is Nikon's answer to the new sub-$1,000 digital SLR market, its clear competition being the Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel) announced last August. The D70 is revealed by Nikon exactly two years since the D100, the D70 appears to share quite a lot with its sibling including a six megapixel CCD sensor and Multi-CAM900 auto focus system. The D70 also appears to have quite a bit going for it which are the primary complaints for EOS 300D owners, flash exposure compensation being one of them."
A typically fantastic review by Phil Askey of dpreview.com, this time of the Nikon D70. In addition to the full length review of the camera itself, he has compared it to the Nikon D100 and the Canon EOS 300D. The D70 is the downgraded version of the D100, perhaps just like the EOS 300D is the downgraded version of the EOS 10D. The review concludes with the fact that "it's clear that Nikon were well aware of [the Canon EOS 300D] and had the D70 up their sleeve, a camera which is a significant step ahead of the EOS 300D in terms of build quality and feature set and a match, and in some instances better from an image quality point of view."
