Nikon D70 Digital SLR Review

Quote from the review:

“I have worked my way through the ranks of digital cameras over the last four years. I started with a tiny Fuji MX1300 1.2MP with NO features whatsoever, I soon tired of that and upgraded to an Olympus C40z which was great; it did so much more and I even shot my son’s wedding photos with it – everyone was happy.

Then I got the MuchBiggerMegaPixel bug and upgraded to a Fuji s602Pro, this nearly satisfied my cravings as a photographer but there were things (actually, as an astronomer) that I still couldn’t do, like long exposures. So, a penny saving exercise and several eBay sales of junk later and I now own, not only the Nikon D70 with the superb 18-70mm DX lens, but also the 70-300mm G lens! “

Nikon’s new 120-300mm is a bright point for DSLRs, as Z-mount gains a 70-200mm

Nikon’s latest lenses pair wide apertures with a long reach. On Monday, January 6, Nikon unveiled the new AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm f/2.8 SL VR DSLR lens and the Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S mirrorless lens during CES in Las Vegas. The new lenses provide sports and wildlife photographers with a bright alternative to telephoto primes, while the 70-200mm fills in a gap in the young Z-mount family with a popular workhorse lens.

Super telephoto zoom lenses rarely have bright apertures, but the upcoming AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm f/2.8E FL SR VR lens bucks the trend with an f/2.8. Nikon also says that the lens is just as sharp, if not sharper than, the Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 prime lens with similar autofocus performance, while eliminating the need to carry around several lenses.
