Very pleased with the D70S
( - 5/15/06)I was a Canon 35 mm film camera SLR user and purchased a Nikon 5700 to break into digital photography. I read reviews about failures with this camera and shot my last wedding with it in fear of it failing. It has over 5,000 shots and is still ticking though.
I went ahead with the D70S as a "want it" purchase. I got the kit with 18-70 mm lens and purchased a 55-200 mm Nikor and a wireless remote. Already own a SB600 flash that really comes to life with the D70S. I am close to 1,000 shots with it and could not be more pleased. One thing no one has mentioned is the low-noise at higher speeds. I have shot at 1,600 with barely noticeable noise. I find focus and exposure to be excellent and as far as being "soft" that doesn't seem to me to be a problem.
I consider myself an advanced amateur and have been shooting pictures since I was 8 years old now at 63 believe I have a lot of experience with "manual" cameras.
I shoot weddings in both still and video and have a Sony V2000 prosumer camcorder. I feel qualified to review the D70S.....
