Professional Reviews of the Nikon D70s

The body has a good grip and its ergonomics are excellent. (Let's Go Digital - 4/20/05)

No photographic tests yet, but the folks at LetsGoDigital have delivered a great hands-on preview of the Nikon D70S, including lots of pictures of the camera. A lightning-fast start-up time of 0.2 seconds should make this camera very appealing to nature and travel photographers. read original review
