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
142 Helpfuls 143 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

The Nikon D70s put a dent in my wallet... and my hardwood floor!

bytch7 Jun 7, 2006

Pros Great quality.
Cons I'm broke.
Recommended it? Yes

After dropping my Nikon F65 35mm SLR down a scree slope, and then more recently submerging it in the Pacific Ocean, I thought it might not be a bad idea to get a new and improved camera – a digital SLR.

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
