Fine pictures when the camera works, easy to operate, Picture point software is easy to work with.
Some Glitches, occasional melting LCD panel, tempermental power switch, ocassional overexposed green pictures for no reason.
I have owned the Nikon D70 for two months. Nice features, and excellent pictures when I am able to take them. But the camera is tempermental. Sometimes I click the power button and my display is wrong and the camera is non responsive. I have to click it on and off until it finally works; once taking over five minutes. Then, on occasions, the rear LCD panel would meltdown to white with Asian characters when I press the menu button. Though these things were bothersome, my pictures were nice (using the Nikon 17mm-55mm DX lens). Then recently it got worse. The camera began overexposing all of my pictures, making everything look like it was in a sea of green. I checked all of the settings, and even returned the settings to default, but no luck. When I e-mailed Nikon Tech, they sent me a worthless auto reply. Maybe I have a lemon, but after dropping $1,000 for the camera and $1,400 for the lens, I expect better.
