The D70s incorporates a host of new enhancements and refinements internally and externally, in addition to all of the advanced features and innovations found in the D70:
* A refined 5-area autofocus system now has an all-area search priority
to go along with the camera’s single area, dynamic area, and close
subject priorities, improving the camera’s ability to acquire focus on
fast moving subjects within the frame.
* The camera now boasts a larger 2.0″ LCD monitor, making it easier for
users to review images and access menus.
* A new remote port for the MC-DC1 electronic cable release (optional)
allows users to trigger the camera and hold the shutter open via an
electronic cable release
* A built-in Speedlight with a wider angle of coverage, supports 18mm
lenses.
* A new easier-to-read menu design in the D70s uses color-coded menus,
and a larger type-face.

charge. The EN-EL3a battery comes with a new, smaller MH-18a battery
charger. Both the new battery and charger are included with the D70s.
