Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon N70 SLR Camera (body only)
Customer Review: A gem from the past
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera may have been introduced in 1986 but it is still very usable. I took it on a trip to Cedar Point two days ago. I bought this camera here on Amazon and was pleased with the good feel it has. It is made of plastic but it feels solid.
I bought two of those "photo" batteries that are a bit shorter than AAs, and 5 roles of ISO 400 Fujifilm film. I used this camera with my Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens and got some very nice results.
This camera may not be for those that like to switch controls very quickly because it has the older, hold down a button to switch between modes, and another button to hold down and change the actual aperture value or shutter speed. There is no mode dial and only one rotatable command dial. This is not really that big a deal because you can still change settings a few seconds.
There is only one auto focus point in the center, but you can chose a very narrow one, or a wide area one that has motion tracking to help find your subject.
This camera has a way of making you take your time to compose carefully because if you do not, you will end up with something annoying or unwanted in your prints. I only used one roll of film, but these were all close to "keepers" because I knew I would be getting a copy of each one. I only took two shots of one or two things for a "backup" because I figured I would get more unique shots for that roll. These all came out technically correct, except for one that was taken into the sunset as a portrait, where the person was a little to underexposed.
This camera is a solid buy for those who want to force themselves to take fewer and better pictures, and is very dependable for these things.
There are a few cons, the settings can be frustrating because of the extra seconds they take to change, the battery indicator does not really tell you specifically how much power is left (but only the very newest cameras, aka d90 do that anyway), and the shutter can only go to 1/4000 of a second. When you are using ISO 400 film outside this can make or break your depth of field.
I think the camera is a good buy for people who want to get a taste of "full frame" and who want to improve their photography.
Description of Nikon N70 SLR Camera (body only)
Nikon is legendary for its meticulous construction and amazing picture quality. The N70 is Nikon's top model in its non-pro SLR line. It has a wide range of advanced features that let you take incredible photos in any shooting situation. With a built-in flash, improved autofocus, and a good selection of exposure modes, the Nikon N70 makes it easy to take perfectly exposed and focused pictures with little effort. At 7mm by 3mm, Nikon's cross-type autofocus sensor module has an extra-wide focus detection area that swiftly locks onto a moving subject. The autofocus can detect subjects in light as dim as EV minus 1 (at ISO 100). The N70 also offers both spot and wide-area autofocus--the latter is especially handy when you want to loosen up your composition.The Nikon N70 uses 3-D matrix metering for incredibly accurate exposure. An SPD (Silicon Photo Diode) sensor divides scenes into eight segments; the N70's microcomputer then reads the light pattern for data on brightness and calculates contrast to put out optimum exposure value. The Nikon N70's built-in speedlight flash uses a five-segment TTL multi-sensor for optimal flash balance.
In addition to standard program, manual, and shutter- and aperture-priority modes, the Nikon N70 offers bracketing and a useful mode called flexible program, which lets you shift the combination of shutter speed and aperture normally set by the program mode.
