Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / January 2005D11 or D70
Which to buy and why? >Which to buy and why? D70, because it actually exists. ...or to put it another way... ...what is a D11? -- Owamanga! > ...or to put it another way... > ...what is a D11?

Yes, as is quite clear from Roland's post that you even quoted in yours. But you avoided my question, Mr Brain, how does one answer his question in the context of a Digital SLR forum? ..or is it some sort of French joke? -- Owamanga! Sorry, typo, my bad. I meant to ask about the difference between the D100 and the D70. So is the D100 worth the extra $$$? > >Which to buy and why? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > Owamanga! >Sorry, typo, my bad. I meant to ask about the difference between the D100 >and the D70. So is the D100 worth the extra $$$? My opinion: No.. D70 has faster flash sync speeds. (1/500th vs 1/180th?) D70 has 3D 1005 segment color metering, the D100 has only 10 segments. D70 has 3fps compared to D100's 2.5fps. D70 uses the most advanced iTTL flash metering. D70 has max shutter at 1/8000th compared to D100 1/4000th. D70 has better color at ISO 800 and above, some say even at ISO 200. D70 is the newer model. D70 does vertical image rotation for the LCD preview. D70 has a higher resolution LCD monitor than the D100 D70 is 105g lighter than the D100 D70 is cheaper. D100 is physically more robust. D100 has bigger viewfinder. D100 has more pro connection ports (such as cable release) D100 has mirror lockup. D100 built-in-flash slightly more powerful than the D70. Both are 6.1Mpixel CCD. -- Owamanga! > >Sorry, typo, my bad. I meant to ask about the difference between the D100 > >and the D70. So is the D100 worth the extra $$$? [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > -- > Owamanga! Thanks, This makes the dicision pretty clear. One thing though, do you mean that the D70 does not have a cable {or wire} release? Would make it useless for long or telephoto shots? One again thanks for all the info. t >> >Sorry, typo, my bad. I meant to ask about the difference between the D100 >> >and the D70.

One again thanks for all the info. t That is correct, you need to use an infra-red wireless remote (ML-L3). Problem here, is they assumed you'd be in front of the camera. This could change your shooting style somewhat! Gun-style triggers and other weird contraptions that nature photographers like to use won't be simple to integrate with the D70. One day, someone might make an wire to IR converter that will do the job, but as far as I know, nothing exists yet. There is this thing, but it's expensive: http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1088425927.html I also found this thing, for PC wireless remote of the D70: http://www.optcorp.com/product.aspx?pid=4192 I guess a prism or such device could be fashioned to allow the IR to be shot from behind the camera - if mass produced from plastic this thing should only cost $1 and velcro'd on to the front of the camera, but again, it doesn't exist yet. -- Owamanga! >Thanks, This makes the dicision pretty clear. One thing though, do you mean >that the D70 does not have a cable {or wire} release? Would make it useless >for long or telephoto shots? One again thanks for all the info. t Correct -- the D70 doesn't have a cable release, it has an Infra Red sensor. You'll need to buy a small trigger device separately if you want to remotely fire the shutter (about £15 I believe, although I've heard they're hard to find). Although apparently you can also use a PalmPilot to do the job: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1034&message=8334539 Regards, Graham Holden (g-holden AT dircon DOT co DOT uk) -- There are 10 types of people in the world; those that understand binary and those that don't. >You'll need to buy a small trigger device separately if you want >to remotely fire the shutter (about £15 I believe, although I've heard >they're hard to find). Not so hard to find. http://search.ebay.com/ml-l3_W0QQsojsZ1QQfromZR40QQsatitleZml-l3 Plenty to choose from there.  SignatureChris Pollard CG Internet café, Tagum City, Philippines http://www.cginternet.net Which make NO sense to me. They're selling ML-L3's for more than you can get them for from Wolf (Ritz) for example! I guess if they're hard to come by overseas...

But there were many bids on one from EBay that was up to ~$21. That's just stupid! > I just bought one from B&H for $17. > > Merritt >>Thanks, This makes the dicision pretty clear.

If you've not come across it already: http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d70flash.htm#vsD100 is one man's take on the differences (plus D70 vs. others). Regards, Graham Holden (g-holden AT dircon DOT co DOT uk) -- There are 10 types of people in the world; those that understand binary and those that don't. >Which to buy and why? Don't you mean D100 v D70? THAT is a common question and much has been posted regarding that choice. Do a Google.Groups search for that particular thread. NikonUSA's Web site has, or had, a chart for comparison purposes between these two cameras, and I think DPReview has one (seems it also has a Canon, or two included), as well. Look at the features of each, and decide which work best for you. You might want to actually handle the two bodies, as they are a bit different. I liked the size/weight/balance of the D100, but the features of the D70 - but that was a personal choice that might not be at all correct for YOU. I don't think you can go too wrong, if you chose the one that does the best job for your photography. Hunt >>Which to buy and why? > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Hunt Maybe he means D2(X?). Or maybe he's got this weird idea about Kodak chemistry and Kodak sensors and Nikon somethingorother.. who knows? Will D. |
