Great, reliable camera.

I am a professional photographer, and I have owned this camera for nearly two years.I also have a D70 for backup.The batteries go forever, it is very quick to respond, the images are beautiful, and it has the typical Nikon durability and reliability.If you are already a Nikon user, the controls will fall easily to hand.That having been said, the computer software with this camera is a joke.For the best image quality shoot RAW files, color balance with a grey card, and render the images with software...

It does the job

I do weddings, portrait, and outdoor photography and I don't see any reason why I'd ever switch from the D70 (other than the D80 :).This camera is professional grade at the consumer price point.Don't be scared by the 6.1 MP.I print at 20x30 all the time w/ out any problems.I'd recommend reading Thom Hogans manual....

Watch prices drop now that the D80 is available.

The D70s is a minor update of the original D70 introduced in 2004, with a few new features and a slightly larger LCD.It's still a great camera, but expect it to be replaced by the new D80, which has 40 percent more pixels, a 2.5-inch LCD, and additional useful features at the old price of the D70s.So, you can probably save a little money and still purchase a sophisticated digital SLR if you wait until prices of the D70s stabilize at a new, lower level.At, say, $600, this camera would be an incredible...

Nikon D70s Kit

Excellent camera kit. Versatile. I have a lot to learn about the camera, though, as it is no simple point-and-shoot. However, in Auto mode, it takes great point-and-shoot pictures. I look forward to learning how to use it fully. Lenses came with warranty cards, but the camera itself did not. I bought the SB-600 flash as well and another battery and two 1 GB compact flash cards to round out the kit. Camera with lens attached is large, which I underestimated. $80 camera bag is too small for it all...

Back from Alaska

Let me preface by stating that I'm not anywhere near a pro photographer,nor even a talented amateur; however I've been shooting with 35mm SLR's since 1969 and have owned and used Olympus, Pentax, Minolta, Canon, and Nikon cameras among others.I cannot offer technical considerations, but can give my impressions about the camera.I purchased the D70s to take on a recent trip to Alaska, rather than take a film SLR and have to work through the X-Ray and security issues.This camera is simply outstanding...
