General Comments
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.
