Nikon D70s mileage assessment: diagnostics of the updated popular Nikon
D70 with improved viewfinder: Nikon D70s mileage diagnostics
Nikon D70s (2005) - An update to the successful D70 with two key changes: a larger LCD screen (2 inches versus 1.8) and support for an additional vertical grip. While retaining all the best features of the D70, the camera has become a little more convenient for active use. The audience is about the same as the D70 - serious amateurs and novice professionals. The age of the camera (almost 20 years) dictates the same strict requirements for diagnostics.
Two decades in circulation means hundreds of owners on the market combined. Each of them left a mark on the shutter counter. The D70s' durable body holds up well over time. The system counter is the only way to find out the truth about a particular instance.
Same resource, same age-related risks
The D70s shutter is identical to the D70 with a lifespan of 100,000 guaranteed operations. Almost 20 years of age of the camera means mandatory maintenance of lubrication, regardless of mileage. Look for instances of up to 30 thousand frames and include the costs of the service.
