Liner pixel count between the two are 30 pixels. The Rebel XT has a marginally larger image.ĨMP sounds much larger than 6MP, but it's not. Nikon's development of the D70 was on a later schedule and when it appeared, the competitive edge that the Canon Rebel enjoyed evaporated overnight. Billions of them had been made and they turned a market on its nose. Its prime competitor, the Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel, had been introduced a year before the D70 and pretty much had owned the market. Image quality was quite good, feature count was way higher than anything else for the money and prints up to 13 x 19 (about the largest 'affordable' printer size available) were eye-poppingly clear, colorful and sharp. The original D70 was a breakthrough camera. They have increased several features-things that will make you smile-while retaining virtually all of the performance points of the original model and extending the model life of the camera, saving buyers a hundred bucks. Nikon has done something very nice for its customers. But it will save you $100 (perhaps more) when you buy it! How different is the D70s from the original D70? How much is that little 's' going to cost you?ĭifferent? Not a great deal.
