Nikon D70 - Features

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:

    All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “It looks as if
    Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
    And its eyes shut with overeagerness
    To see what people found so interesting
    In one another, and had gone to sleep
    Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
    Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
    Short off, and died against the windowpane.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    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)
