Nikon D70

Premio: Hot Product!

Resumen de la valoración: Some might say that Nikon has been a little slow to hitch up their skirts and get chasing Canon, Pentax, and Sigma in the production of decent a digital SLR camera that nips in under the £1000 mark. The launch of the Canon EOS300D, in August 2003, ...

Pros: Rugged build, good battery life, easy controls, flexible operating systems and menus

Contras: Cluttered LCD display, lens hood shadows the image in certain configurations

Contras: Too much moire in images from a $1000 camera ; PictureProject software leaves much to be desired ; Slow USB connection

Veredicto: I like to complain about proprietary batteries in digital cameras. For one, they're expensive -- $45 a pop. My other usual complaint is that you can't pop in "regular" batteries when the proprietary one dies. That's not the case with the D70, though. ...

Resumen de la valoración: Nikon's latest digital SLR edges out the Canon EOS 10D as the enthusiast's choice.

Pros: Excellent dynamic range, colour accuracy and noise profiles, terrific continuous-shooting performance, feature set accommodates a variety of users

Contras: Nikon's RAW-file editing software costs extra, camera saves only one set of custom parameters
