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)
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
