Nikon F70
The Nikon F70, launched in 1994, was a mid-range autofocus SLR that offered advanced features typically found in more expensive cameras at an accessible price point. This 35mm camera featured sophisticated 3D Matrix metering, reliable autofocus with predictive focus tracking, and comprehensive exposure modes including program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, and manual control. The F70's ergonomic design incorporated a built-in pop-up flash, motor drive capabilities, and full compatibility with AF and AI Nikkor lenses. Notable features included multiple shooting modes, exposure compensation, depth-of-field preview, and a bright viewfinder with extensive information display. The camera was designed for serious amateur photographers and photography students who needed semi-professional features without the cost of flagship models. The F70 successfully filled the gap between entry-level and professional cameras, offering advanced photographers access to quality optics and sophisticated metering systems.
