Does the nikon d70 have internal memory?
boyd_bayer

The D70 does not come with a memory card, so you'll need to purchase one separately. The D70 utilizes a folder arrangement that lets you organize images in the camera and a sequential frame counter option to avoid problems with overwriting files when copying them to a computer.

The Nikon D70 offers a high level of technology, excellent expandability and a wide range of system accessories, familiar handling, especially for 35mm SLR converters, the image quality and performance (e.g. AF speed) that DSLRs are known for, and a price that brings the dream of a digital SLR camera within reach.

Nikon D70s SLR Review - Steve's Digicams

Steve's Conclusion With the introduction of the D70s, Nikon has refined its most popular dSLR. There is no increase in resolution or responsiveness, usually hallmarks of new models, over the D70 we reviewed in 2004, but you'll find several improvements that add to its appeal, including a larger

Nikon D70s

Nikon has today announced an upgraded version of the D70, the new D70s. This camera has the same CCD sensor and imaging pipeline as the D70 so image quality should be identical. However several changes have been introduced including improved auto focus accuracy, slightly wider flash coverage, a higher capacity battery, a new larger 2.0" LCD monitor and re-designed menus. The D70s Kit including the 18-70 mm lens will cost around $1199 (£899.99/€1343), while the body only will be $899 (£699.99/€1045), expected to ship in early May.

Nikon D70s

With no higher-resolution sensor available, Nikon has opted to improve the features and functionality of its popular D70 model. Fortunately, until the next generation of 'pro-sumer' DSLR cameras arrives, the new D70s model will make many potential buyers very happy. For starters, for the $1999 price tag you now get a high-quality AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm lens as well as the improved camera body.
