Here is a quote from another forum about Nikon's new D70: >>>>> The printing company that I'm working for printed the D70 manual this week. We also print (for Europe only) all the coolpix manuals and usually it takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the camera's to hit the shops after we've printed them. I don't know if this means that the D70 will be coming out earlier than was first announced. But anyway, the main details on the D70 are: - 6.1 million effective pixels - CCD size: 23.7 x 15.6mm, total pixels: 6.31 million - Image size: 3008x2000(large), 2240x1448(medium), 1504x1000(small) - viewfinder coverage: 95% - autofocus: Multi-CAM900 - shutter: combined mechanical and CCD electronic shutter - 200-1600 iso - max frame rate: 3 per second (in M-mode with Manual focus!) - NEF:compressed 12-bit - monitor: 1.8inch, 130,000-dot - video output NTSC or PAL - USB - firmware can be upgraded by user - power source: EN-EL3 Li-ion or three CR2 lithium batteries( with MS-D70 battery holder) -weight 595g(1 lb 5 oz) other new stuff mentioned in the manual: - AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF ED lens - SB-600 flash, guide number 39/128 m/ft<<<<< Take care, Gregory david Stempel FIREFRAMEi m a g i n g www.americanphotojournalist.com
