Which is your first Nikon DSLR?

[ctm1968]

D60 fo me....

 

[jnet6]

D70 and still using. Probably will wait until the video function + 24Megapixel functionality is available on DX format before making a switch.

Do you really need a 24 MP cam on DX????

The D70 was the first one to hit the market that was affordable. The D100 was a tad later but cost more. And for a long time it was the only offering from Nikon unless you have the cash to get the D1 then. The D70s did not come out till like what about 2 yrs later? So being so new and being little choice out there apart from Canon, I am sure alot of people bought this one. People are spoilt for choice today with so many models coming out at one time or within half yr apart.

i agreed with you too!

Now D2 series is more affordable then last time D1 series when the hundred/40/50/60/70/80/90 series are out.

D100 is launch much earlier then D70, not later, the launch price is $3800 iirc.

during the D1 and D100 time, Nikon don't make any DX lens yet, so either get a 17~35f2.8 lens or the 18~35f3.5 lens. the flash is SB28DX at that time, than later came out SB80DX.

Nikon launches D70 together with a few DX lenses, and SB800

bought a new D50. then another second-hand D70. although so many better new products in market today, i still love them so much that i dont want to buy any other camera anymore.

Wow Nikon history 101 :bsmilie: Everyone knows so much.

I thought there were a couple of DX lenses that were released before D70's arrival. Should be the 12-24DX or 10.5 fisheye.

So according to sammy888, D70s came out 2yrs after D70? And the improvement is so minor? Really a far cry from today where brand new stuff comes every half year or so.

You are correct.

D100 was released on 2002
12~24 lens and 10.5 lens were released on 2003
D70 kit was released end 2003
17~55 lens and 18~70 lens were released on 2004

D70, my switch from the other side

 

[tsjcsl]

D70s, after several digital P&Ss.

 

[timotheus]

D60, sadly the noise was absolutely disappointing.
since then, changed to a canon 40D and been with it all the way.
