An early Nikon digital body that still performs. Top notch metering yields outstanding exposures. Bought to use as a light meter that allows previewing composition and exposure for film shooting. Pair with any Nikon AF lens and this is an unbeatable entry camera to learn digital photography.

The Nikon D70s has all the award-winning features that made its predecessor so popular - 6.1 effective megapixels for clear, sharp resolution; top shutter speed of 1/8000 second and 1/500 second flash sync; near-instant power-up of 0.2 seconds for incredible responsiveness - and more. The D70s features an advanced AF system; its exceptional subject acquisition, focus tracking and focus precision functions ensure that your action shots will be even crisper and sharper. Built-in i-TTL Speedlight automatically pops up when lighting is inadequate and provides fill flash when necessary. Extra wide peripheral illumination supports lenses up to 18mm, for beautiful wide angle shots. The large 2.0-inch LCD monitor is easy to view and use, with plain-language menus and help dialogs presented clearly. For better results when shooting close-ups and long exposures, use the optional Remote Cord (MC-DC1). Add to all of this the incredible performance of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, powering up to 2500 shots per charge, and you have a superb digital SLR camera, always ready for action.Read full review
This is my favorite old Nikon DSLR out of the bunch that offer the good old features such as 1/500 flash sync and good Infrared performance. The D70 and the D50 are fine, but the extra features are great on the D70S, especially if you are used to all the manual controls and beefier (better) ergonomics of the more advanced cameras. I like to take my D70S out with a 18-105 VR lens and a 720 nm IR filter and this camera will auto-focus with the IR filter on and deliver razor sharp IR photos hand-held! I have not done any IR modification to this camera. Just a filter and VR lens. If you are looking to get into IR this is a great camera! Flash sync of 1/500 is indispensable when shooting outdoors for fill flash or at wide apertures. That is another reason I like having this camera around. Yes, I'll set my D600 down and grab the D70S if I want to take pictures of my kids outside on a bright sunny day. There is just something nice and different about the CCD sensor. Forget low-light stuff though. This camera has a lot of noise above ISO 500. Overall I would say this is an awesome camera.Read full review
A bit outdated by 2021 standards but you still get great pics.

D70S' are still great cameras; good weight, durable and reliable, aside from apparently common "CHA" and other intermittent nuisance-type memory card issues/errors. Nikon probably could have done more to at least offer discount repair to resolve these issues. Sent mine in for estimate (Nikon Authorized Repair Center) and estimate was over $200.00 to replace a few parts that probably would fix all those intermittent error messages, etc., so I figured it was too old to bother "wasting" that much money. It got good use and still works anyway so I'll keep it and enjoy it until it craps out for good.
