Been using the U.S. version (N70) off and on for about five years. Functionally, it has been very reliable (also, easy on the batteries), accurate (exposure and focusing), generally quick and quiet (except for rewind). This was the first camera I had used with an LCD readout; it WASN'T difficult to to learn once I had memorized all the symbols. Generally, except for exposure changes ("P" to "A" to "M") I do not have to mess with the settings. Handling has been mostly good, although my small... (read more)

The Nikon F70 35mm SLR camera is an underrated camera, largely due to its somewhat maligned user interface. Personally I find it easy to use, but accept that others may not.

I agree fully. The F70 is totally underestimated by most Nikonians, because of the user interface. But for this, the only drawback is the 1/125 sec flash syncro speed - which doesn't mean anything but for one in a million photos.
<br>
<br>And: The F70 is the sturdiest Nikon with a built-in flash.
<br>The motor drive speed combined on one hand with the "silent mode" on the other hand are unsurpassed by other Nikon AF's.

<br>Mind you: "The glass" you use with any camera decides on your results.
