Performance that produces great pictures with pure color delity
Vivid color and sharp details with high resolution and wide dynamic range
Advanced image processing engine
The D70s’s advanced System LSI processor
produces images with pure, vivid colors and
maximum clarity. Auto white balance, auto tone
and color control are optimized, while real-time
processes diminish digital noise in long exposure
shots. Processed images are ready to print right
from the camera, minimizing time spent to achieve pleasing results.
The image processing engine also maximizes system performance
to ensure fast le compression, high-speed data handling in
memory, fast simultaneous recording of JPEG and NEF les, and
near-instant display of images.
Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor
Optimized to deliver a wide dynamic range that produces great
pictures with high resolution and sharp details, the DX Format CCD
sensor’s 6.1 effective megapixels yield 3,008 x 2,000-pixel images
that are suitable for making large prints, or for creative cropping to
bring out detail. Micro-optics incorporated into each of the sensor’s
pixels precisely align the image from the camera’s lens for maximum
performance, whether using AF
Nikkor lenses or high-quality,
digital-dedicated DX Nikkor
lenses. All Nikon digital SLR
cameras employ the DX Format,
establishing a level of high
performance and uniformity.

Nikkor lenses
The D70s employs the Nikon F lens
mount for seamless compatibility
with the comprehensive lineup of
high-quality AF and AF-S Nikkor
lenses long favored by professionals
around the world for their superb
color, high contrast and razor-sharp
images, as well as for outstanding
autofocus per formance. The
increasing family of DX Nikkor lenses
designed for use with Nikon digital
SLR cameras make the options even
richer, delivering a wider variety of
picture angles, higher performance,
and out-standing center-to-edge-
to-corner image quality.
