Life with a new D70
Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 11:52 pmFirstly, Thank you for the welcome! and greetings from the other side of the rabit proof fence! (Perth-WA)
Being a new owner of a D70 I thought I would share my experience with you all. The reasons I upgraded were:
-Budgeting for a D300 to replace an aging G2 for a Xmass trip to Germany.
-Was told about the D70
-I was "sold" as soon as I picked it up, for reasons I am sure you all know by now, no comparison.
-After 4 weeks and 500+pics I am still marvelling at the creative control,speed,quality and those features that I am still yet to learn to use.
On the down side, have had one "Err" resulting in black pics until turned off and on again, and a "For" message with a less than half full C/F card, losing the lot after having to format to get going again.
-So am a bit nervous and disappointed about the Nikon reliability, especially after reading posts and seeing polls about the same problems I experienced.
-Aside from that, no regrets in my purchase but will keep the little Canon G2 as back up for awhile yet.
-To those responsible for the creation of this user group, many thanks for such a much needed resource!! (Ain't it grand not having to go "offshore"!)
