The D70 and D70S have been discontinued by Nikon.
In spring 2005, Nikon released the D70S, an enhanced version of its popular D70 camera model. Both digital SLR cameras are designed for the serious amateur photographer and only a few aspects of the 6.1 megapixel D70 were changed to create the D70S.
Better Focusing Ability
Nikon modified the D70S' auto focus system to keep up with moving subjects more accurately. Photographers use the Closest Subject Priority Dynamic AF to engage the mode. Both models offer single-image and continuous auto focus settings, as well as a manual focus option.
Better Flash Coverage
The pop-up flash built into the D70S provides enough light for the wider, 18 millimeter (mm) lens. The D70 only supports lenses as wide as 20 mm. Both models offer Nikon's Creative Lighting System and 3-D Color Matrix Meter and sync at shutter speeds up to 1/500 of a second. Both cameras offer a hotshoe mount for attaching other flashes or accessories.
Other Changes
The Nikon D70 is powered by one EN-EL3 Li-ion rechargeable battery. The D70S uses the longer-lasting EN-EL3a or EN-EL3e battery packs and comes with a faster Quick Charger device. The LCD monitor on the D70S grew from 1.8 inches to 2.0 inches. Both the D70 and the D70S can be used with an optional remote control, but the D70S adds a new remote cord option as well.
