Nikon D70s vs Nikon D800

Lets take a deeper look at the Nikon D70s vs Nikon D800, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and both of them are manufactured by Nikon. There exists a significant gap between the image resolutions of the D70s (6MP) and D800 (36MP) and the D70s (APS-C) and D800 (Full frame) use different sensor measurements.

The D70s was introduced 8 years prior to the D800 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving through a complete comparison, below is a concise overview of how the D70s matches up versus the D800 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon D70s and Nikon D800. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon D70s Gallery and Nikon D800 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry your camera often, you will need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Nikon D70s offers physical dimensions of 140mm x 111mm x 78mm (5.5" x 4.4" x 3.1") having a weight of 679 grams (1.50 lbs) while the Nikon D800 has measurements of 146mm x 123mm x 82mm (5.7" x 4.8" x 3.2") with a weight of 900 grams (1.98 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is the front view over all size comparison of the D70s against the D800.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D70s and D800 is 61 and 54 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing only by going over technical specs. The graphic below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D70s and D800.

As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The D70s with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon D800 will deliver more detail using its extra 30MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older D70s is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
