Summary: It's well-built,but not as easy to operate as Canon Eos Elan
Review: I both own Nikon N70 and Canon EOS Elan. I used EOS Elan for several years , but N70 is new to me. N70 has a strong body,well-built than any other non-pros cameras(including Eos Elan) , but too many buttons . It's not easy to be familiar with it rather than EOS Elan. And the focus speed , it should be better.

Summary: The Best Pictures I have ever seen
Review: I have a couple of friends that have this camera and every time I see the pictures they take the pictures are always crisp and sharp in the contrast. I am currently in the process of trying to acquire one of these cameras because it has really piqued my interest in photography. It has been great looking at getting it because it has the most lens availability and compatibility of all the cameras I have looked at and it looks like it is more durable than canon so I plan to get one!

Summary: N70 is a good investment
Review: I have been using the N70 for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. Its autofocusing speed is phenomenal, and its features offer everything I need for shooting action and stills in all lighting conditions. Its controls are very easy to use, and Nikon offers any accessory you can think of. I would suggest augmenting the N70 body with a Sigma 28-200 lens.

Summary: 17 years later I finally bought a new Nikon N70
Review: I have had Nikon cameras since my college days (1968-72)and have owned the original Nikon F, Nikromat and Nikon FE. At first I was skeptical about owning an automatic camera, but was I in for a surprise when I took it out of the box. At first I found myself not missing calibrating the camera for each shot (I was suspicious) and then I realized how many pictures I had taken (it also has a built in motor-drive). I had gone through 3 rolls of film at a Thanksgiving feast given by some friends of mine . . . if I had used my old setup I'd have been lucky to finish 1! What I am trying to say is the Nikon N70, with its built in computer allowed me (read - freed me) to take as many pictures as my heart desired, with all of them being in perfect focus! (Using the Auto-Focus feature I was able to concentrate on the subject at hand . . . not the camera!) If you want professional results without the time-consuming features this is your baby! I have not used my other cameras since I purchased the Nikon N70, and I guarantee it if you buy one you may as well sell your other cameras. (I know, I did)MorrisZ342@juno.com

Summary: A great camera by a great camera company
Review: I have to admit that I am biased. I only ever use Nikon products. I have an F3 and an 80008. I purchased the N70 for the built in flash feature (so I wouldn't have to lug around my SB-24) and to have one nice do it all camera to take on vacations, etc. without having to take my whole camera bag with F3 or 80008 bodies. Well, I've shot a wedding, a trip to Spain, and, well, you get the idea. Haven't even needed to pickup the other two. The nice thing about the N70 over the N60 (which is also a great camera) is that the N70 still has the synch port. I wouldn't, of course, trade my F3 or 80008 for studio work or other stuff, but for one compact camera for taking on trips, etc. this camera is great. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it isn't a professional's camera like the F3 or F4 or N90, but this camera is fantastic and more than enough camera for most people.

Summary: I like the N70, but...
Review: I own an N70 and it has served me well. For an amatuer, and even a serious amateur, it's a great camera, however, keep in mind that the N70 lacks a few features that you may not miss at first, but may come to want over time. For example, there's no depth-of-field preview, the shutter syncs at 1/125th not 1/250th, the max shutter speed is 1/4000, half that of the 8008s or N90s, which means nothing for action photos (1/4000th is plenty fast) but in high light situtations where you are still overexposed at f22, the extra speed is necessary. Also, there's no locking button for the shutter, and no data back available. I am considering upgrading to N90s or an F4s, but I will keep the N70.

Summary: Best Serious Camera for the Price.
Review: The user interface is intuitive but non-traditional. The only camera (to my knowledge) with a comparable on camera flash is the $1300 Minolta Maxxum 9. By the time you become a serious enough photographer to need Depth of Field preview and faster synch (which the N70 does not offer) it will be time to upgrade to a more expensive model; if you are just taking family/vacation photos you will not miss these features. Nikon lenses offer an excellent value to quality ratio. I suggest starting with the Nikon 50mm/1.8 AF-D lens before purchasing a zoom lens. Eyeglass wearers will find this camera more to their liking than the Canon Elan II which is also an excellent system. The N70 will fill your point & shoot needs as well as giving you creative manual control should you decide to make photography a hobby. Pentax also makes excellent SLR cameras and should be considered if you do not anticipate becoming really serious (because Nikon has such a large market share they can offer pro-grade lenses at a lower price point). Don't forget a sturdy tripod and a camera bag.

Summary: A Truly Exceptional Camera
Review: Within the first ten minutes of having this camera I could use most of features. This incredibly fast camera (3.7 fps at high continuous film advance, and very fast autofocus)it is impressive. It has a varitey of built in programs like, action, depth of field, night, ect. These are very usful but can alway be overrided for custom control. The built in speedlight is one of the best ones on the market and very good for any kind of fill flash or light to medium flash usage indoors. Within the world of amature photography, you can get much better than this.
