Whilst the D70 has been an excellent camera (on which I&#8217;ve taken over 4000 photos in the last year &#8211; that would have been more than 108 rolls of film at about \u00c2\u00a33.50 and, after taking processing costs of around \u00c2\u00a34 a roll into account, the camera has pretty much paid for itself), it does have some drawbacks compared with my film body &#8211; a Nikon F90x:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, in common with all Nikon DSLRs, it uses an APS-sized (23.7&#215;15.6mm) sensor, meaning that all lens focal lengths effectively increase by about 1.5 &#8211; great for distance work (my 170mm-500mm lens becomes a 255-750mm) but putting extra demands on the quality of the glass at the centre of the lens, and a pain for wide-angle work.  I&#8217;d much rather have a full-frame sensor, although even Canon (who seem to be the market leaders for DSLRs) only have full-frame sensors on their professional models.<\/li>\n<li>Secondly, the auto-focus seems slow in comparison to my film body and doesn&#8217;t have a continuous evaluation mode (although I must confess I hardly use the F90x now, so it may just be the way that I remember things).<\/li>\n<li>Thirdly, the D70&#8217;s slowest ISO setting is 200.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the D70 doesn&#8217;t have a remote cable release socket, so I can&#8217;t use my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europe-nikon.com\/details.aspx?countryId=20&amp;languageId=22&amp;prodId=451&amp;catId=143\">MC-30 remote cord<\/a> to reduce camera shake on slow exposures (one workaround is to use the self timer).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then a few months back, Nikon launched a new budget DSLR &#8211; the D50 &#8211; and upgraded the D70 to the D70s, adding improved auto-focus, new menus, a 10% larger screen (up from 1.8&#8243; to 2.0&#8243;), flash support for wide angle lenses and a remote cable release socket. I was really annoyed as many of these were the features I had lost when I moved from the F90x to the D70.  It will come as no surprise then, that I was pleased to find out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0504\/05042002nikon70firmware.asp\">it is possible to upgrade the firmware on the D70 to a similar level to the D70s<\/a> and a few days back I did exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>The firmware is upgraded in two parts (A and B) and is available from the <a href=\"http:\/\/nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com\/cgi-bin\/nikoneurope_en.cfg\/php\/enduser\/std_alp.php?countryId=20&amp;languageId=22\">Nikon European Support Centre<\/a>.  Nikon do require registration to download the update but the instructions are clear and concise and I had no problems in to taking my D70 from A1.01 and B1.02 to A and B2.00.<\/p>\n<p>It won&#8217;t help out with the hardware-related constraints, but does give me a much clearer menu layout and (allegedly) improved auto-focus (the jury is still out on that one but it&#8217;s certainly no worse).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last September, I bought myself a digital SLR camera &#8211; a Nikon D70.
