from Ritz Camera Summary: Nikon "strikes", again, with this camera, the APS version of the N70. This is a powerful machine. With all the features that a beginner, to a seasoned pro, would love. Then there is that mid-roll changeover, which is a great benefit for those, different ISO changes. The power of a Nikon 35mm SLR, in the APS format. This is the top APS camera, on the market, and most of all it''s a Nikon...dude!!!! If you can find one get it. The film development is a bit more costly, than 35mm, but for all the power, and quality results, the cost is worth it. The APS format was looked at with negative eyes, but because of it''s versatility, even with it''s lack of ISO speeds;, this format is cathching the eye of many consumers, today. Even with the Pronea 6i, being discontinued, it lives on with the introduction of the Pronea S. Nikon has taken a big step with this machine. And no matter the negative reviews, they have created a "monster" with this camera, and the stepping out into this format. I have shot four wedding with my Pronea 6i, and the quality was "superb". One of the weddings was shot in almost complete darkness, and with the on board speedlight. This machine performed. My clients were overwhelmed with the results, and so was I. There is so much to play with, and if you area a techno nut, then this baby is for you. Get one if you can, and enjoy!!!! Mine came with the Nikkor 24-70 lens, and I added a Nikkor 70-210, and I have more APS for the "buck". This is APS supremacy, but it''s a Nikon....dude!!!! Strengths: it''s a Nikon...dude!!! An APS/SLR, with all the features of the N70. Its topps, and the feel is so superb. Just a great machine. Weaknesses: Hard to find, but worth the look. The only weakness i see is the viewfinder, placement...a minor thing, and the batteries...CR123, so costly...But like I said, It''s a Nikon....dude...and its a great camera still. Similar Products Used: Nikon 5005, N70,Pentax K-1000, and a spanking out of the box........Nikon N80. Customer Service: the greatest, they stand by their products, that''s why Nikon is on top. Hey it''s a Nikon....dude!!!!!!
