D1X vs. D70 vs. D100: I think that you will find that as a side by side at a mid range ISO (which I think is more telling about honest noise) you can see that 6MP is basically 6MP with slight differences. However, the D1X focus engine I think is a slightly more critical than the D70 and D100. So what you pay for is the rest and that is really up to the individual. The photo was taken from the same location with a daylight balanced lamp (btw the color balance is for Cloudy Day which works best). WB-Cloudy |

2. D100 3. D1X It isn't about the chip, it is about the body. If you want to get past the pixel nazis and the measurebators, you will have to realize that these three cameras give final images that are very similar. However, the body design, superior focus engine, flash sync, etc; gives an obvious edge to the D1X. It is also the reason I give the D70 the lowest rank out of the three. The D70s whimpy view finder and lack of features like MLU don't compensate for the faster fps compared to the D100 or slightly larger buffer. The D70 is the cracker jack box version of the D1X offering great images in a plastic little box. Also, the increased buffer and fps would give the impression of making this camera ready for sports shooting-- but the weaker CAM900 focus engine makes the D70 limited in comparison to a true professional and sports camera like the D2H, D1H and even a D1X. I still think that the D100 not only makes great images, but has a great film quality to the images and does really well in low light. But in the end it is about making images, and all three make fantastic photos. |
