The Nikon N70 is a nice camera to begin to learn photography. It has several pre-set modes such as Landscape, Portrait, Action, etc. to make it easy for the photographer to choose a mode best suited for what's hapenning. It also has aperture priority, which allows the photographer to set the apertue and let the camera choose the lens setting. Shutter priority lets you choose the shutter speed and the camera chooses the aperture. Full manual gives you full control. This is not an F100 or an F5, so some of the bels and whitles arent there. Everything a new user needs is. Here's a litle blurb from Nikon: Extensive Shooting Modes Program, Flexible Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Manual. Vari-Program. Modes Portrait, Sport, Hyperfocal, Silhouette, Landscape, Night Scene, Close-Up and Motion Effect. Built-in Speedlight 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash with Monitor Pre-Flash narrows the range of contrast within a scene. Three Cameras in One Quick Recall Function lets you recall up to three combinations of your favorite settings. Lens Mount F Bayonet Lens Mount accepts every AF and AF-S Nikkor lens. A fun starter camera that you'll eventually want to move up from, though I've known people who wouldn't part with their beloved N70. :-) I mainly use an F5, F100, and I have a decked out N90 that still gets used. I also use digital extensively, but unlike most people most of my shots are printed. With most people it seems the pictures sit on the computer or CD. Film is ALWAYS printed and ready to go into your album where it's right at hand to sit in your favorite chair and go through. It takes a pretty expensive digital camera to give you the lens choices and flexibility that film cameras give you. So give that N70 a whirl, and find out why so many of us believe that film lives! :-) My best to all you photographers out there, morgansjcapoRead full review
I purchased this Nikon N70 camera body, because I needed to shoot some "film" for a project I'm working on. I chose this body both for it's features and it's value. The Nikon N70 offers features that give me the opportunity to shoot from a number of pre-set modes as well as the ability to go fully manual. Also, you can use almost all Nikon Auto Focus Lenses and many manual focus lenses with this body. The camera is relatively light and although the body is plastic, it seems sturdy and well built. It feels comfortable in the hand and the buttons and switches are well placed. The camera has a nice LCD display near the shutter release that shows all settings and meter readings. Metering is also visible in the bright viewfinder. Nikon has also provided a built in flash as well as a hot shoe mount for using a separate flash unit. My only real complaint is. the shutter is rather loud and would definitely scare off any wildlife you may be shooting in close proximity to you. My overall opinion of this camera is that it's a great camera for students, through experienced amateurs, interested in the film experience. If you are looking for a feature rich 35mm SLR camera that is readily available, I highly recommend you take a look at the Nikon N70.Read full review
If you are looking for a high-quality optical camera you could not afford to buy ten years ago, here is an opportunity to buy one now for a very small fraction of the original price. The operating system can be a little confusing if you are not a camera freak, but there are plenty of options available if you can learn how to use the controls. If you are not familiar with the camera, I recommend you buy a copy of the Magic Lantern guide to the N70. This book explains the camera functions better than the instruction manual. As digital cameras are taking over, this camera may be obsolete in the near future, but it still has a few years left, and can be a lot of fun.
The N70 is a very easy camera to use. With the 28-70 mm lens the balance is almost perfect (remember that the N70 is a heavy camera). One has to remind oneself that the camera has a mind of it's own in auto focus so patience is a virtue when in that mode. Stop the camera all the way down before you shoot. Manual focus is great for those who like to frame their pictures inside the camera. Light meter is on point and very reliable. I shot and developed my first roll of black & white film and found the internals of the camera (working mechanisms) to be perfect. For all of us film lovers, this is one to have and hold on to
The Nikon N70 (F70 outside the U.S.) is still a good camera, even by today's standards. With the comeback of film photography, many users will like the solid build and feel of the camera body. Other good qualities include: - Takes Nikon AI and AF lenses - Clear viewfinder - Nice yellow LCD once you look inside the viewfinder Although, because it is an older model, (1994)it does not the menu "knob" to select settings. There is a small screen on top of the camera to show those settings. Get this camera; and use it the dependable Nikkor 50mm 1.8 AF; and / or the sharp Nikkor AF Zooms, and you're good to go! Happy shooting for 2011 and beyond!
