Nikon D610 vs Nikon D70

The following is a in depth comparison of the Nikon D610 versus Nikon D70, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and both of them are designed by Nikon. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the D610 (24MP) and D70 (6MP) and the D610 (Full frame) and D70 (APS-C) provide totally different sensor measurements.

The D610 was introduced 9 years after the D70 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the D610 scores against the D70 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon D610 & Nikon D70. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon D610 Gallery & Nikon D70 Gallery.

If you are going to travel with your camera, you need to factor its weight and measurements. The Nikon D610 enjoys outside dimensions of 141mm x 113mm x 82mm (5.6" x 4.4" x 3.2") along with a weight of 850 grams (1.87 lbs) and the Nikon D70 has proportions of 140mm x 111mm x 78mm (5.5" x 4.4" x 3.1") along with a weight of 679 grams (1.50 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are using during that time. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the D610 and the D70.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D610 and D70 is 56 and 61 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions only by going over technical specs. The pic below might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the D610 and D70.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The D610 with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Nikon D610 will deliver greater detail using its extra 18 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger D610 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
