Amazon.com Product Description
Nikon is legendary for its meticulous construction and amazing picture quality. The N70 is Nikon's top model in its non-pro SLR line. It has a wide range of advanced features that let you take incredible photos in any shooting situation. With a built-in flash, improved autofocus, and a good selection of exposure modes, the Nikon N70 makes it easy to take perfectly exposed and focused pictures with little effort. At 7mm by 3mm, Nikon's cross-type autofocus sensor module has an extra-wide focus detection area that swiftly locks onto a moving subject. The autofocus can detect subjects in light as dim as EV minus 1 (at ISO 100). The N70 also offers both spot and wide-area autofocus--the latter is especially handy when you want to loosen up your composition.The Nikon N70 uses 3-D matrix metering for incredibly accurate exposure. An SPD (Silicon Photo Diode) sensor divides scenes into eight segments; the N70's microcomputer then reads the light pattern for data on brightness and calculates contrast to put out optimum exposure value. The Nikon N70's built-in speedlight flash uses a five-segment TTL multi-sensor for optimal flash balance. In addition to standard program, manual, and shutter- and aperture-priority modes, the Nikon N70 offers bracketing and a useful mode called flexible program, which lets you shift the combination of shutter speed and aperture normally set by the program mode.

 A great camera by a great camera company October 19, 1999

I have to admit that I am biased. I only ever use Nikon products. I have an F3 and an 80008. I purchased the N70 for the built in flash feature (so I wouldn't have to lug around my SB-24) and to have one nice do it all camera to take on vacations, etc. without having to take my whole camera bag with F3 or 80008 bodies. Well, I've shot a wedding, a trip to Spain, and, well, you get the idea. Haven't even needed to pickup the other two. The nice thing about the N70 over the N60 (which is also a great camera) is that the N70 still has the synch port. I wouldn't, of course, trade my F3 or 80008 for studio work or other stuff, but for one compact camera for taking on trips, etc. this camera is great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't a professional's camera like the F3 or F4 or N90, but this camera is fantastic and more than enough camera for most people.
 N70 is a good investment November 30, 1999

I have been using the N70 for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. Its autofocusing speed is phenomenal, and its features offer everything I need for shooting action and stills in all lighting conditions. Its controls are very easy to use, and Nikon offers any accessory you can think of. I would suggest augmenting the N70 body with a Sigma 28-200 lens.
I like the N70, but... November 26, 1999

I own an N70 and it has served me well. For an amatuer, and even a serious amateur, it's a great camera, however, keep in mind that the N70 lacks a few features that you may not miss at first, but may come to want over time. For example, there's no depth-of-field preview, the shutter syncs at 1/125th not 1/250th, the max shutter speed is 1/4000, half that of the 8008s or N90s, which means nothing for action photos (1/4000th is plenty fast) but in high light situtations where you are still overexposed at f22, the extra speed is necessary. Also, there's no locking button for the shutter, and no data back available. I am considering upgrading to N90s or an F4s, but I will keep the N70.
17 years later I finally bought a new Nikon N70 November 29, 1999

I have had Nikon cameras since my college days (1968-72)and have owned the original Nikon F, Nikromat and Nikon FE. At first I was skeptical about owning an automatic camera, but was I in for a surprise when I took it out of the box. At first I found myself not missing calibrating the camera for each shot (I was suspicious) and then I realized how many pictures I had taken (it also has a built in motor-drive). I had gone through 3 rolls of film at a Thanksgiving feast given by some friends of mine . . . if I had used my old setup I'd have been lucky to finish 1! What I am trying to say is the Nikon N70, with its built in computer allowed me (read - freed me) to take as many pictures as my heart desired, with all of them being in perfect focus! (Using the Auto-Focus feature I was able to concentrate on the subject at hand . . . not the camera!) If you want professional results without the time-consuming features this is your baby! I have not used my other cameras since I purchased the Nikon N70, and I guarantee it if you buy one you may as well sell your other cameras. (I know, I did)MorrisZ342@juno.com
Best Serious Camera for the Price. January 11, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
The user interface is intuitive but non-traditional. The only camera (to my knowledge) with a comparable on camera flash is the $1300 Minolta Maxxum 9. By the time you become a serious enough photographer to need Depth of Field preview and faster synch (which the N70 does not offer) it will be time to upgrade to a more expensive model; if you are just taking family/vacation photos you will not miss these features. Nikon lenses offer an excellent value to quality ratio. I suggest starting with the Nikon 50mm/1.8 AF-D lens before purchasing a zoom lens. Eyeglass wearers will find this camera more to their liking than the Canon Elan II which is also an excellent system. The N70 will fill your point & shoot needs as well as giving you creative manual control should you decide to make photography a hobby. Pentax also makes excellent SLR cameras and should be considered if you do not anticipate becoming really serious (because Nikon has such a large market share they can offer pro-grade lenses at a lower price point). Don't forget a sturdy tripod and a camera bag.
