Nikon d70 IR Converted Camera a Fantastic Deal
2 of 2 found this helpful My main camera is a Nikon d90. I got the d70 converted to shoot IR only photographs. The interface is practically the same as the more advanced d90. The seller did a perfect conversion to IR, perfect focus for the lens specified and a white balance beyond what I could do myself. Even though the camera only has 6.1mp, the image quality is so good, it doesn't matter and using a blow-up photoshop plug-in you can still make the images as big as you want. I love this as a back up IR camera, but if I could have afforded it, I would have gone with a converted d90 as I could shoot IR video on that model.
The one thing I didn't like is no SD card, it takes the older compact flash card which is trickier to find in retail stores and only reasonably priced online. I got a 4gb and it takes over 1000 pics if you shoot jpeg fine only. I'm probably going to shoot a RAW-JPEG combo and that will reduce the number of pics.
It uses the same battery as the d90, same shutter release, same TTL flash and same lens adapters so it's a great deal for someone that already has a Nikon dSLR and all the gear.
