This D70 was a steal, and was actually a lot more than I expected after reading the users description. It came with everything listed, plus the battery charger and battery. The only thing I needed to get was a card. The camera body itself was in excellent condition and may as well have been a refurb. I have found no issues with it other than a barely noticeable missing port cover on the lower left side. It looks great and works great despite its age. Not bad at all for the price I paid.The D70 itself is a lower mid-range Nikon consumer DSLR, The rough equivalent to Nikon's current D7000 series. The control scheme is very easy to pick up and should be familiar to anyone who has used a Nikon DSLR before, minus a few scheme changes compared to newer models. This camera packs a punch despite its age, producing striking pictures with very pleasant saturation. Don't let the lower resolution scare you, because all of that is made up for in the straight up quality of the camera.I only have two notable issues with the model itself. Unless your working with a fairly low f-stop lens, don't expect to be using this for any high action low light scenarios or otherwise. Without any sort of external boosting, the maximum ISO is 1600 ASA, and at that, the grain isn't "fine" whatsoever. Fine grain begins to drop off between 640~800 with the D70. If in a low lit area, color grain becomes very strong by 800~1000, and just gets worse from there. Other than that, this cameras metering is a little wonky. While I normally shoot in manual, when I just want to take a back seat to my camera, I will set it to aperture priority. This camera likes to overexpose its metered shots a lot. I constantly find myself playing with exposure compensation, changing it to anywhere between -0.3 to -1.7. Especially in an area where lighting is constantly changing, you will find yourself changing to exposure compensation just as much as you'd be playing with settings on manual, completely defeating the purpose of the metered modes.Nevertheless, beautiful camera sold a a great price.
