One Question About Using the D70


Jim:

For the watches / macro, how do you find using the viewfinder (close to your eye), rather than the LCD on the back of the 995? Was this an easy transition (going back to the eyepiece), or has it taken some getting used to?

Thanks,

Jeff

: Chuck,
: I guess you have not experienced the new
: digital SLR cameras yet or you'd never even
: consider bringing your 35mm film camera.
: Your comment totally reflects the fustration
: of the point and shoot consumer digital
: cameras which have up to and over a one
: second delays before the picture is
: captured.

: With that in mind, I can see why you might
: choose a traditional instant cature 35mm
: film camera.

: BUT, the new DSLR Prosumer cameras are in a new
: league with 3 frames per second shooting and
: almost instant on. In JPEG Fine/Large
: capture mode, my D70 can shoot over 4
: seconds at this rate before the storage
: buffer fills. In addition, it has a shutter
: speed of 1/8000 sec for capturing some great
: stop action photography.

: These and many other reasons are why folks are
: moving to this new breed of camera and
: leaving film at home. Film is still great
: for landscape shots and high contrast pics
: too.

: Here's a shot out of a sequence of continuous
: frames as I saw the action happening through
: the view finder, so I just kept my finger on
: the trigger(so to speak)and let the camera
: do it's job.
