The Nikon D70 was Nikon's third revolution just in the digital photography age. (Never mind the major one in 1959 with the Nikon F that changed professional film photography) The first was the Nikon D1 started pro digital photography, the end of mainstream film. The second was the Nikon D100, the first DSLR to reach the lofty heights of 6.1 megapixels. Then there was the D70. It looks and feels like a modern DSLR, and Nikon released it in 2002. It was, in its own way, as revolutionary as the D1 and the D100. I've taken some of my best photos with it. The thing is, there really is little negative to say about the Nikon D70/D70S. You can come up with many reasons to spend more money on a newer DSLR, but if you want a great camera for little money, the Nikon D70 or D70S is a good bet.
