Professional Reviews of the Nikon D70

  • 4.3 out of 5
Overall, the D70's images are some of the best we've seen to date from a consumer-priced model (CNET - 9/9/04)

The Nikon D70 is a great performer for novice and advanced photographers alike. Image quality is excellent, and its continuous shooting mode is "terrific." These reviewers were disappointed that Nikon charges $99 for its Capture Software, which is necessary to work with the camera's RAW images. read original review
