Hi all,
I thought, since we've got a Photography area we might as well make some use of it. There's many keen photographers from beginners to pros floating around these forums so here's a chance to review some of the equipment you've used.
I think if we keep the posts to a single standard template and try and eliminate "chat" between the posts this could prove quite useful.
I'll start off with a review of my current camera, a Nikon D70
Camera: Nikon D70 w/kit lens 18-70mm
Price Range: $2000 when I bought it (18 months ago)
Date of Review: November 2005
Like? I believe this camera is excellent value for money. It comes with a quality lens which covers most situations and focuses quite quickly. 6MP is plenty for most people and I have blown up shots to 30x20in and been quite happy with the results. Fantastic battery life, you run out of card space before the battery will ever run out. Great results with Nikon's latest flashes.
Dislike? Missing features such as a Vertical Grip, Mirror Lock-up and a remote shutter cable. I find the colour to be a bit plain for my liking out of the camera, others call it "natural" or "realistic". However, in the digital world this means very little as most digital shots need a small amount of work to get them to their best.
