Advantages: Easy to Use

Disadvantages: Never print out pictures,

I got my Nikon D70 when my much loved Canon SLR celluloid camera finally died after 10 years loyal service. I wasn't sure at first about if it was really what i wanted, as i have a young family and having an extra bag to carry around a camera in wasn't really what I needed. And to some extent this has proved correct, the only way i can use it with my lifestyle is if I put it in with other stuff in 1 bag and hope for the best that it is ok.

I also generally only use it at events like weddings where i don't have to carry it around all day.

Having said that it is a fabulous camera. I am amazed at how long the batteries last - for hundreds and hundreds of photos. It is great being able to check the picture straight away (and yes i own a breadmaker), so you can delete or keep it there and then. The children also love to see themselves straight away too.

The picture quality is fine, and it is easy to use.

The down side is that you never end up printing anything.

Also I have found with mine that the connection between the lense and the main body can be a bit loose and sometimes you have to jiggle them to get the camera working. But over all it is a great camera.

Summary: Great camera for formal occasions, but less so for spontaneous pictures
