 Best value and well made camera for amateur March 5, 2005
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
to serious amateur. I bot this camera back in 96 or 97. Took thousands of pictures. This camera takes great pictures and is very very reliable. Even did a couple friends' wedding with it.
Work well with almost all nikon lens. Auto-focus could be a little sluggish when paired with some professional grade nikon zoom lens such as the excellent 80-200 f2.8D and 35-70 F2.8D lens. Other than that, it works well with all other lens including the popular 105 mm F2.8D. Having that said, with 80-200 F2.8D, it is still fast enough to catch my kids running around at the beach and freeze their action.
It is a quality built camera in sharp contrast to those canon plastic toys. You got to hold it in your hand to feel it.
The menu system is very different than the traditional camera. It took me a few minutes to get the hang of it without looking at the instructions. It is very similar to some of the digital camera's menu at present days. It was truely ahead of its time.
It does not have DOV function which you may miss when your skill grow. But 99% of the time, you don't miss it. If you do, you are the type who would have bot the F100, F5 or F6 already.
I took pictures with it along side with a N90s. I did not see any difference in the pictures. However, it does make a huge difference when you upgrade to the professional grade lens. Color fidelity, sharpness and contrast are greatly improved. I have pictures of my kids blown up to poster sizes.
Spend your money on the lens not the camera. If you on a tight budget, this is the one to get.
 It's well-built,but not as easy to operate as Canon Eos Elan November 12, 1999

I both own Nikon N70 and Canon EOS Elan. I used EOS Elan for several years , but N70 is new to me. N70 has a strong body,well-built than any other non-pros cameras(including Eos Elan) , but too many buttons . It's not easy to be familiar with it rather than EOS Elan. And the focus speed , it should be better.
The Best Pictures I have ever seen November 23, 1999

I have a couple of friends that have this camera and every time I see the pictures they take the pictures are always crisp and sharp in the contrast. I am currently in the process of trying to acquire one of these cameras because it has really piqued my interest in photography. It has been great looking at getting it because it has the most lens availability and compatibility of all the cameras I have looked at and it looks like it is more durable than canon so I plan to get one!
A Truly Exceptional Camera December 30, 1999

Within the first ten minutes of having this camera I could use most of features. This incredibly fast camera (3.7 fps at high continuous film advance, and very fast autofocus)it is impressive. It has a varitey of built in programs like, action, depth of field, night, ect. These are very usful but can alway be overrided for custom control. The built in speedlight is one of the best ones on the market and very good for any kind of fill flash or light to medium flash usage indoors. Within the world of amature photography, you can get much better than this.
Glad I did not get a better one! March 18, 2003

Years ago when I was looking for a SLR I was thinking of getting one of the expensive ones but people told me to start off with something like this. Well I did, and I am so happy. I love this camera. I have taken it to Italy, Netherlands, Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island in Hawaii. It has gone everywhere with me and given me some great pictures.If you are just starting off with these cameras or even if you have been using these types of cameras for awhile you will not be disappointed with the N70.
