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.

A Truly Exceptional Camera, December 29, 1999
Reviewer: A customer
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.

N70 is a good investment, November 29, 1999
Reviewer: A customer
I have been using the N70 for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love
it. Its auto-focusing 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.

17 years later I finally bought a new Nikon N70, November 28, 1999
Reviewer: A customer
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)

I like the N70, but..., November 26, 1999
Reviewer: A customer
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.

The Best Pictures I have ever seen, November 23, 1999
Reviewer: A customer
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!

It's well-built,but not as easy to operate as Canon Eos Elan,
November 12, 1999
Reviewer: A customer
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.
