Features

The D70 features include:

  • Nikon DX format sensor
  • 1.5x field of view crop
  • 6.1 megapixel sensor (23.7 mm × 15.6 mm)
  • 1/500th second x-sync
  • Nikon F-mount lenses
  • File formats include JPEG, NEF (Nikon's raw image format), and JPEG+NEF
  • Single Servo and Continuous Servo focus modes
  • Continuous shooting at 3frame/s up to 144 images using a high-speed storage card (minimum burst of 4 images with a low-speed storage card)
  • ISO 200–1600 (in full stops or 1/3 stops selectable)
  • Configurable Auto-ISO (Automatic sensitivity change to keep required Shutter and/or Aperture values)
  • New TTL Flash System

Due of its hybrid electronic/mechanical shutter, it is in fact possible to flash sync the D70 and D70s beyond their published 1/500 maximum sync speed up to the maximum shutter speed of 1/8000.

The Nikon D70 has been considered superior to its predecessor, the D100, despite the higher price of the latter. The D70 is backward compatible with most of the older Nikkor lenses. Sigma, Tokina and Tamron are other popular lens suppliers of Nikon F-mount lenses.

Famous quotes containing the word features:

    “However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “Art is the child of Nature; yes,
    Her darling child, in whom we trace
    The features of the mother’s face,
    Her aspect and her attitude.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    “It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
