Reviewed by: low1947Updated: 13-Feb-06 Strengths: Feels jus like my Nikon 6006--easy to use--I can use my lens that I already owned Weaknesses: None Overall Evaluation: This camera is great, it is easy to pick up and start using right away. The menu is easy to step thru and understand. Pictures were great and the 18 to 70 lens worked great if you only have one lens. |

Reviewed by: MORE4MY$Updated: 29-Jan-06 Strengths: Gets you shooting quickly, overall manual is easy to understand, intuitive settings (but read the manual first) Weaknesses: Just a bit overwhelming with all that you have to learn; it would be nice if Nikon included a cable release. Overall Evaluation: I'm an advanced amateur photographere. Lots of experience with 35mm and large format cameras. I decided to take the plunge into digital during the Christmas holidays because one of the online stores reduced the price of the kit to $1025. Special holiday incentives from the store (Circuit City). I was looking at both the D70s and the Canon 20D. The Canon was several hundred dollars more expensive than the D70. What eventually eliminated the Canon for me was that it was hard to see the menu options that are listed on the monitor: the test was smaller than the D70s. And if the Canon was hard to read in the store with the store's even fluorescent lighting, I knew that I was going to have problems reading it in the field. So even though the Canon might have a better reputation, I went with the Nikon. Yes, the Nikon seems heavier than the Canon. But the "extra" weight seems to me to make the camera seem steadier. Again, I've never owed a point and shooter... |

Reviewed by: whirledUpdated: 20-Jan-06 Strengths: Easy to use with preset settings for beginners and manual settings for pros. Excellent image quality and good battery life. Weaknesses: Casing feels like a very cheap plastic. This goes for almost all digital SLRs, but would be nice if it came with a starter memory card, too. Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent camera that really is good for beginners through pros. I was a bit leary of that at first because it seemed too broad of a scope to cover, but the preset settings allow a beginner to explore with different lighting and speeds. For example, there's a preset for night portrait, which allows for detail image in low lighting for beginners who don't know what shutter speed or amperture to set it at. After playing around with that for a while, beginners can try certain manual settings.This camera can really take pictures in all situations. Great for family gatherings, weddings, portraits, sports shoots, vacationing. It might be a bit heavy and big if you want a good digital for everyday point & shoot. But I wanted something to explore my creativity, so I went with this camera.The prices on this camera are very decent for its abilities. Canon Rebels are a bit cheaper, but the lens quality doesn't seem as good as Nikon.Overall, this is a great camera ... |

Reviewed by: akak1997Updated: 28-Nov-05 Strengths: Fast Start up, Solid Build Quality, Greate User Interface Weaknesses: ISO 200 still has noise under low light? 6 mega pixel, kinda heavy. Overall Evaluation: This is my first dSLR, I've a Cybershot P5 before. It is very different upgrading from a P&S to a dSLR. Whenever I want to take a picture with my P&S, it takes forever to start up, I've missed a lot of photo opportunity because of that. I spent a month researching the Canon Rebel XT and the Nikon D70S, and the features and image quality are pretty much evenly matched. The reason why I choose the D70S is mainly because of how it feel in my hands. It's a perfect fit. The Rebel XT is just too small for me and it feels like it's poorly built. I got the d70s with the 18-70mm lens kit, the image under good lighting was awesome, sharp + great color. But in low light situation, the picture wasn't as good, however, that might because of my skill level (beginner). the user interface is very nice, it has all the buttons and dials to let me access settings directly. Battery life is Great! amazing compare to my P&S. I've shot close to 200 photos with f... |
