The new Nikon D70s and Nikkor AF-S DX f/3.5-f4.5/18-70mm G IF-ED Zoom

byHoward_Creech Jul 3, 2005

Pros Very fast, solid build quality, excellent image quality, and very good battery life
Cons Images slightly soft at default settings and No USB 2.0
Recommended it? Yes

Canon's EOS D350/Digital Rebel XT was a revolutionary re-design of the original Rebel, but Nikon's new D70s is more an evolutionary update of the dLSR that POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY magazine chose as it's CAMERA OF THE YEAR in 2004. At first glance the D70s appears identical to its predecessor, but... Read full review »

Pros good for beginnersgood price for DSLR
Cons battery life in liveview
Recommended it? Yes

I have always envied those that could take amazing photographs; observing these people has led me to the same observation: they use DSLR cameras instead of the easier to use point-and-shoot varieties. I was always intimidated by these cameras so never thought that one was for me-- that was until I... Read full review »

Pros Everything!
Cons A little heavy and bulky. 
Recommended it? Yes

I just bought this camera for my hobby and I'm amazed by this. The quality is amazing and you have many features to make your photos even better. (Changing color, light settings, color balance, even a fun fish eye effect!) The screen is big enough to see details of your camera and the buttons are... Read full review »
