Glenn Reynolds has published a review of the Nikon D70 DSLR on the website Gizmodo.
“I’ve taken it out several times and in all cases have felt that I got a much greater number of really good pictures than I would have gotten with a 35mm film camera. The camera doesn’t get in your way, really, and does an excellent job of capturing what you see through the viewfinder.”

LetsGoDigital have recently interviewed Ulrich Gotze, European Marketing Manager Digital SLR-systems Olympus Europe, and published the questions and answers:
“So far Olympus is the only company offering an SLR system based on the FourThirds standard. In the future will other companies also develop systems according this standard?
Yes, very recently three large companies, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (better known as Panasonic), Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. and Sigma Corporation, announced that they will join the FourThirds consortium and that they will develop products conform the FourThirds standard.”

Imaging Resource have published their review of the Pentax *ist D DSLR, which has been on the market for quite a while now.
“In a d-SLR field that’s becoming increasingly crowded, the Pentax *ist D holds its own quite nicely. With “street” prices hovering around $1250 as of this writing in late March, 2004, it faces some very stiff competition from the less-expensive Canon Digital Rebel and the newly announced Nikon D70, but for anyone owning a complement of Pentax K-mount lenses, the *ist D is a camera that offers pretty much anything you might want from a d-SLR.”

Digital Outback Photo have started an experience report on the new 8 megapixel professional DSLR from Canon, the EOS 1D Mark II.
“We did not get a a review camera yet but had the chance last week to use a Mark II for one hour in Alviso. We will share our first findings. Otherwise wait for our diary once we will get a sample for two weeks.
Of course the 1D MArk II feels very familiar to us as we use a 1Ds all the time.
We will discuss three topics:
Softness?
RGB Histogram
ISO”

Luminous Landscape have posted a full review of the new 8 megapixel professional DSLR from Canon, the EOS 1D Mark II.
“There isn’t much to add by way of summary. The Canon 1D Mark II offers the photojournalist, wildlife and sports photographer possibly the finest shooting tool yet seen. Image quality is excellent, shooting speed is as fast as we’ve ever had, and ruggedness of construction and quality of materials is a given.”

Imaging Resource have posted a gallery of sample images taken with the new 8 megapixel professional DSLR from Canon, the EOS 1D Mark II, ahead of their full review.
“The results look very nice: Great color, low image noise, very good tonality. All the images had the characteristic Canon softness to them, (I think) the result of very conservative in-camera sharpening. My uncertainty about the sharpness is because the only lens I have to shoot with the 1DMII currently is a 16-35mm zoom.”

Professional photographer Bjorn Rorslett has also published a review of the Nikon D70 DSLR (again found via digicamera.net).
“Nikon D70 has up to now been an interesting experience. The camera is inobtrusive, small and light-weight, yet a very capable performer. You do have to gear your attitude and working habits to embrace the possibilites supported by the camera, and not the annoyance of all those missing features of a professional camera prevent you from utilising the potential which still is there.”

Finnish photographer Petri Kekkonen has published a review of the Nikon D70 DSLR in English (found via digicamera.net).
“Based on somewhat inaccurate timings AF motor speed seems to be similar to that of Nikon F80. But the feeling I got while shooting both in the same conditions yesterday (using only central AF sensor on both) D70 feels like having a slight edge when it comes to snapping into focus. Also the sound of the AF motor is more civilised and silent.”

Digital Outback Photo have started their review of the recently announced DSLR from Kodak, the 14 megapixel DCS Pro SLR/n.
“After the first day it is clear that the SLR/n is a much more interesting product than the 14n. We can hardly wait to use the SLR/c as we then can shoot with the same lenses on the 1Ds and the SLR/c. We consider the SLR/n a comeback of Kodak as a major player in the pro DSLR market.”

Digital Outback Photo have started their review of the Nikon D70 DSLR, which takes the form of a diary that is regularly updated as they use the camera.
“We are used that we don’t get any new digital SLRs from Nikon reasonable early for review (the D1, D1x and D100 reviewed were all our own cameras). Why did we buy the D70? Because we believe that this is an important entry level DSLR and a valid competitor to Canon’s 300D (Digital Rebel).”

Time Magazine have named the Nikon D70 DSLR as their Gadget of the Week and posted a (very) short review (found via Digicamera.net)
“Needless to say, there are thousands of D70 secrets I haven’t yet unlocked. I may yet, but even if I don’t, I will relish the fact that for once I have taken pictures that look like what I saw. I’d like to think it was my talent, but I’m sure it was the camera’s.”

Steves Digicams have published their review of the recently announced DSLR from Kodak, the 14 megapixel DCS Pro SLR/n.
“There’s no question that the SLR/n captures an amazing amount of image detail. Viewing one of its 4500 x 3000 pixel images on my 1024x768 screen took a long while to scroll from side to side and from top to bottom. The new sensor definitely produces better looking images than what we were able to coax out of the Pro 14n last year. There’s still a fair amount of noise reduction “smoothing” noticeable in the SLR/n’s images but nowhere near as much as the Pro 14n.”

DPReview have posted their usual detailed review of the recently announced Sigma SD10 digital SLR.
“Anyone with experience of the SD9 will see a noticeable improvement from the SD10. Both Sigma and Foveon have clearly spent quite a lot of time fixing some of the SD9’s shortcomings and adding other improvements which advance the overall package noticeably. This has come about by a combination of changes to the camera and also the image processing in the new Photo Pro 2.0. The nice thing for SD9 owners (and probably SD10 owners in the future) is that with every update of the Photo Pro software they can also achieve better results by simply re-running their RAW images through the software.”

Michael Reichmann has published a mini-review of the recently announced DSLR from Kodak, the 14 megapixel DCS Pro SLR/n.
“I would say that for Nikon lens owners who are able to work at ISO 160, and who require a full-frame DSLR, the Pro SLR/n is a very compelling choice, particularly with its new aggressive pricing. Wedding and fine art landscape photographers ? anyone who won’t miss high ISO shooting or very high frame rates, will find this camera to be an attractive proposition. You should visit your local dealer and try one out. Until Nikon gets it’s full-frame digital act together this is the only game in town for Nikon lens owners, and it looks like a good one.”
