Nikon D70S 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
From the Manufacturer
Based on the award-winning image quality, high performance and user-friendliness of the Nikon D70, the D70s offers several refinements that will further enhance your digital SLR experience. For starters the D70s features a 6.1 effective megapixel Nikon DX format CCD that yields 3,008 x 2,000-pixel images that are suitable for making large prints, or for creative cropping to bring out detail. With a power-up time of a mere 0.2 seconds, this SLR is basically ready to shoot when you are. Pictures are processed and recorded extremely quickly, and preview images appear on the LCD monitor almost instantly. The top display shows critical exposure information. The D70s’ connection ports are easily accessible. View larger. “In the cockpit”: controls at the ready. View larger. Two-inch TFT LCD monitor. With the D70s, high-speed action photography is truly a reality. With the ability to shoot a rapid three frames per second (fps) for a continuous burst of 144 pictures, you’ll never miss any action. And with shutter speeds that range from 30 seconds to 1/8000 second, or up to a 1/500-second flash synch speed, you’ll be sure to have the flexibility you need to capture the action precisely as you want it (more…)

Good DSLR
The Nikon D70S is a very good beginner to intermediate digi slr. Easy to use but also has a lot of options and manual settings. Battery life is amazing.

Great when it works- Service isn’t worth the price
