Reasons to choose D70 over 350D?

My suggestion is to go and try both Nikon and Canon systems to help you decide. its just like buying a car - you will quite identical pictures thorugh various workaround the various systems give you. A test is to look at all the great modern pics and ask yourself which Brand did that.
But try the system, including the better bodies so that you can have a clear idea what your upgrade path is like - as you can see the upgrade path is actually a downward slippery slope that many fall into !
So think long term and buy what's comfortable for you.
As for me, I feel that digital technology is still changing which leads to massive obsolescence. As I could not wait for the 'mature technology' I chose the one with the more advanced technology -- higher resolution and a sensor that can give clean pics at higher ISOs -- to extend my investment and prolong its useful life.

Ermm..here is an interesting comparison on Canon A80 P&S vs Canon 10D DSLR. The picture was blown up to 400% by the author, can we tell which one was shot from a $3K camera? is this a fair comparison?
For details, pls refer to here.

Ah. Yes you said educational software. How many are students still?wind30 said:
Educational will still require student pass, getting a student to buy for you doesn't equate you're doing the right thing!wind30 said:
I'm not surprised, NEF is a pretty closed format, even most of the RAW recovery tools there CANNOT construct NEF headers properly. I bought a software which recovers NEF excellently. And only US$39.90 too! Unlike Canon CRW which is easier to construct and most software recovery tools can find it. Sheesh.wind30 said:but the stupid fireworks cannot read NEF

the lighting conditions in the pictures are different, like that also can compare?? ... somemore there's nothing said about the settings of both cameras in the comparison ... what a crappy comparison :dunno: btw i am referring to the website, not you

i have both A80 and 10D before, obviously consumer DC will have more agressive sharpening and auto colour adjustment and thus details is lost. but wait..what's the point of comparing consumer DC & DSLR? i was talking about D70 vs 20D. i think eikin can be the witness that we did a test using same setting, similar kit lens and shoot at same condition and applied the same processing and then print them on photo paper using the same printer
and the results speaks for itself
Wai said:
Not trying to accuse anybody here is a liar.
Ok, my point is, given the above A80 Vs 10D example, could Nikon be conservative with sharpening and colour, hence the details appear to be lost? Without complete information, 10D users may feel short change just by the above photo-to-photo comparison.
just my 2 cents.

Wai, you're missing the point in choosing a SLR system, bodies are secondary as compared to the glasses, surely there's pros and cons in the bodies that can't make everybody happy. Me inclusive!
D70 body is $13xx now, the sensor surely isn't comparable to a $2500 body's sensor, how to compare? Comparing with D100 is more likely than comparing the D70. If not else I also take D2X and compare with 350D and then the same scenario will just happen again. :bsmilie:
Also not forgetting Canon's DSLRs have post processing algorithmns to apply, thus you can say the images are already pre-processed. The CRW files aren't really RAW.

Hmmm, I don't know how the NEF was constructed, but the NEFs are really as RAW as can be. Regarding colours I would say it's very good. Maybe 'dull' due to the prevention of highlights exposure, but the DR of most of the DSLRs are pretty good. The D2X delivered outstanding results when I last used it. Really jaw dropping
Details are more preserved on the Nikon DSLRs because of the 'underexposure' I don't think the details are lost.

Com'on la, I know who you are, stop trying to stir up flame wars and personal arguments. Too free at your Clinic nothing to do issit?

YA man, brotherhood of trolls.

I sense much disturbance here...
erm..... back to topic.. reasons to choose D70 over 350D,
1) Solid feel
2) Big enough, roomy for fingers to grab
3) its a Nikon
4) 350D is a Canon
5) this is a Nikon Thread
6) I am a Nikonian
7) Nikon is the way to go
8) Nikon maybe black, but its the best there is.
9) Superior Optics by Nikkor
enuff ? i cant think if the 10th reason.. hehehe

This is an unfair comparison lar, the glass also plays a very big part in the quality of the final image. And almost everyone knows that the processing algorithms of DSLR and compacts P&S are quite different.jeffhiew said:Ermm..here is an interesting comparison on Canon A80 P&S vs Canon 10D DSLR.

Anyways why bring this comparison into the thread? The original thread title is abt N brand DSLR vs C brand. :dunno:
At the end of the day, image quality and functionality aside, ergonomics factor also plays a big part of which you choose, you have to play around with both and decide which one you are more comfortable with. Its not just about the no. of megapixels.
