Digital Photography Review (2004), regards it very highly and rates it superior in many ways to the older D100, even though the D100 has a higher price. Both the Nikon D70 and Canon EOS 300D/Digital Rebel are ground breaking with respect to their price/performance ratio. Feelings often run high between advocates of the D70 and those of the 300D; advocates of the 300D point to a lower price point, and supposedly better sensor technology yielding less noisy images, while advocates of the D70 point to greater control over the operation of the camera, more solid feel of the body plastics, and defend the quality of the sensor. The D70 is backward compatible with most of the older Nikkor lenses. Sigma, Tokina and Tamron are other popular lens suppliers of Nikon F-mount lenses. Hello--80. ...

D70s

A Nikon D70s with third-party vertical grip and display hood.

In early 2005, Nikon announced the D70s. The D70s is essentially an update of the D70, adding a larger LCD screen (2 inches (50 mm) instead of 1.8 inches(46mm)), though still having 130,000 pixels. The D70s also comes with the newer EN-EL3a battery with slightly higher capacity. While the battery performance is increased, the new version of the D70 lacks the previously included MS-D70 battery holder, which allowed users to mount three CR2 batteries in the camera in case of a dead battery (notably the adapter is not compatible with CR123 batteries). The camera is also equipped with a terminal for a proprietary remote release cable (MC-DC1). In addition, the D70s features an increased 18 mm angle of coverage from its built-in flash; the flash on the D70 could only be used with lenses as wide as 20 mm. All other updates to the D70s are available for the D70 through a firmware update, which include improved autofocus performance, updated menu design and updated in-camera printer support.
