Nikon D70 Digital SLR cameras are some of the most popular digital SLR cameras on the market and this is for good reason. The D70 gives you true framing power (SLR allows you to see the subject as it looks through the lens) and digital flexibility without having to pay a fortune. The D70 can be had for just over $1000. Another benefit of the D70 is Nikon's expertise in lens manufacturing. They manufacture lenses for scientific and industrial use as well as for personal eyeglasses.

The digital controls are not such that they will confuse novice users. While the more advanced, control functions manual control of exposure and focus, etc. and can still be accessed by more experienced users. These cameras only run a couple of hundred or so.
