From what I understand any Nikon F mount lens will work with the D70 but with non-CPU lenses you lose features, AF, light metering, etc. assuming your lenses are -
AF Nikkor 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5D
AF...

fyi, the second exposure is a blank frame, or a readout of the CCD noise, by subtracting that frame from the first you reduce the noise of the image somewhat.

I doubt it'll die after 300 cycles, you probably get a measurable difference between a fresh one and a 300 cycle old one. The number of cycles to kill the battery will be way higher than the 300,...

This is a tricky one, I think you're looking at the two best all-round 250-300£ 5MP cameras. Where I'd start from is I'd sit down and write down the features of each you like, then the features you...

opps Nikon D70 using a 50mm f/1.8

Something like what's below, I'm yet to find away to get the AF to lock onto the ends of the spikes, . The first is auto, the second is manual -

dSLRs have small and dim viewfinders without any centre magnification for finding focus, I've spent much of today trying to pull off a few shots. My main problem is that AF can't see the target...

I've got a 100% crop of a problem I'm having...

I've taken this image about 30 times now both jpeg & NEF and I'm still getting this effect, this...

Different cell configurations will have different cycle lives, however you're talkin' about charging life in the thousands of cycles (full charge and discharge), so the difference will be negligible....

After reading George's post I've done some reading and it's interesting. These 'reconditioning' chargers DO NOT 'recondition' the batteries, rather they 'reoptimise' their structure and gaining back...

I'd love to know how they'd de-ionise the battery, the discharge/recharging process slowly ionises contents the cells... I've not looked into these as I've never looked into chargers in that much...

First off I do believe that though it's possible there's a it's marketing influence, but also there is a very solid technological base for not making a large sensor format fixed lens cameras. You can...

So you've got a normal & quick charger (yes I know they take a long time). Well, the older no-name could never had as much ability as the second set to start with. Though batteries do deteriorate...

Well either camera will do a good job, that's something common to both of them. So yeah, the 8800 will give you better out-of-the-box results than the D70 but it doesn't take much manual intervention...

I think this has much more to do with NiCd than NiMH, I wrote off a set of NiCd's cause I didn't charge them before use and they were 40% depleted (this is for a bike light meant I could only just...

I'm slightly worried about this, the colour noise down the cat's back I'm going to put down to diffraction/refraction of the fur. What worrys me however is that blueish dot above the cat's eye, is it...

If you got the cheapest AA cells you could I bet they're low-voltage only-good-for-torches stuff and your dura's will walk all over them. Typically I use Vanson batterys, they're cheap and while not...

Yeah, the A2 employs a faster but less sophisticated AF system than the A1 this means with some A2s the AF doesn't get an exact lock every time. Though the A2 I borrowed didn't have and AF problem,...

Yeah, however this is comparing a photoCD playback, and I have noticed that I can get way closer without visible image imperfections when I'm watching TV or a movie, but for a photoCD get much closer...

Though the technology has improved, made faster, is more accurate, etc. the basic principles are based on the same old stuff that they have always been, this stuff is the same on your latest digi' as...

I think you've just elected the two best cameras in the 300UKP area and It's long as it's short. The A95 v's W1 goes some thing like -
Silky smooth images with CA v's mono-chromatic film like grain...

Back in the ages of history HP did a little bit of research and worked out that the human eye could not resolve more than 150ppi (Pixels Per Inch, not to be confused with dpi which is the number of...

I posted my images around the 2MP area on my (diminutive) site, to me going bigger seems silly considering that a top-end display single link DVI display maxes out at 1920x1200 & you...

first off I have NO exprence with the Lumix series of cameras but how was the WB set? also is the tin quite near to magenta in hue?

My problem is this, I've already calibrated my displays not to any colour chart but my eyes, that is to say they're all set to about the same back light brightness, 50% contrast & then I've tweaked...
