Nikon D70 review

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.
Pros:
  • Excellent resolution and sharpness
  • seems better than EOS 300D / EOS 10D
  • Neutral color balance
  • 'Nikon like' (tuned towards skin tones
  • Good clean sharpening algorithm leaves almost no 'halo' artifacts
  • Low noise even at high sensitivities
  • more monochromatic (film like
  • Excellent image parameter
Cons:
  • Moiré / maze artifact pattern visible in certain images at the limit of resolution
  • Bug which incorrectly tags images as Adobe RGB (we expect a firmware fix
  • Vignetting / lens shading on the AF-S DX 18-70mm lens at 18 mm
  • F3.5
  • Still a very average automatic white balance performance
  • we expected

The 6.1Mp Nikon D70 is at the forefront of the digital SLR revolution for the photo enthusiast. Nikon digital SLRs differ from fixed lens digital cameras in a number of ways. The most obvious is the fact that you can use existing lenses that fit Nikon cameras - both film and digital.
Pros:
  • Compatible with Nikon lenses
Cons:
