As you can tell, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The D70s due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon Df will provide you with greater detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged D70s will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
