Nikon D70 Full Review

23 186



I absolutely love my first DSLR, the Nikon D70. This body comes with the Nikkor 18-70mm 3.5-4.5G AF-S ED DX lens. This combination produces some stunning images, and I give this camera a 9.5 out of 10. The missing 0.5 is because of a few things I mention in the video, but there is one thing I forgot to mention. The D70 doesn’t have any sensor cleaning or dust combatant features (like the air flow system that was introduced on the D60), aside from the ability to take a dust reference photo & store it (similar to the Canon Rebel XT & higher).

    I've had mine for around 14 years. The design flaw is that it tends to underexpose but it can be overcome easily.

    Hi, thanks for such a thorough review. A very dear friend of mine has been shooting the D70 since about the time it was released and steadfastly refuses to give it up. 😉 She is a FAR superior photographer to me, a Fine Art major to boot, so in 2017 I see that as a heck of a testament to the staying power of the venerable D70. I hope you're still enjoying it and thanks again.

    A friend's clearing out an office and called asking if I wanted a Nikon D70 for free. No video, low grade view screen and 6MP. My iPhone will do a better job. I'll advise him to sell it for £50 on Ebay.

    My boss is always bugging me to do photos for company events, So I decided to finally get an actual DSLR. I just bought a D70 because it seemed like just the thing. Mainly, I wanted to use the Nikkor lenses I already have. I got my D70 off of Ebay for less that $100. It is a surprisingly solid feeling camera, and has good balance with my AF Nikkor 50mm 1.4. I like the fact that even though it feels solid, it's not the size of a bazooka like the pro DSLRs. It's not a whole lot bigger than my F3.

    To me, the camera's biggest sin is the tiny size of the eyepiece. I think I'll be sticking to AF since there is no center split image focusing aid. In aperture priority with a lens that has an aperture ring, is there a way to change F-stops with the aperture ring instead or the little wheel? I've been using these old lenses since the nineties, and using the little wheel on the camera instead of an aperture ring just isn't natural for me.

    This camera was my first DSLR coming from approx., 38 years as a film photographer. I am very much impressed with the solid build quality, image quality and easily understood features. My only regret is that I took so long to come over to digital photography. Wonderful camera, I can highly recommend it for basic learning and beyond. Thanks for reading and again, many thanks for a very comprehensive video. Tonyt
