The Nikon D70s: Refining a Winning Formula
Based on the award-winning image quality, high performance and user-friendliness of the Nikon D70, the D70s offers several refinements that will further enhance your digital SLR experience. For starters the D70s features a 6.1 effective megapixel Nikon DX format CCD that yields 3,008 x 2,000-pixel images that are suitable for making large prints, or for creative cropping to bring out detail. With a power-up time of a mere 0.2 seconds, this SLR is basically ready to shoot when you are. Pictures are processed and recorded extremely quickly, and preview images appear on the LCD monitor almost instantly.

With the D70s, high-speed action photography is truly a reality. With the ability to shoot a rapid three frames per second (fps) for a continuous burst of 144 pictures, you'll never miss any action. And with shutter speeds that range from 30 seconds to 1/8000 second, or up to a 1/500-second flash synch speed, you'll be sure to have the flexibility you need to capture the action precisely as you want it.

Best of all, the D70s employs the Nikon F lens mount for seamless compatibility with the comprehensive lineup of high-quality AF and AF-S Nikkor lenses that have long been favored by professionals around the world. Included with the D70s is the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED-IF -- a compact standard zoom lens that covers the focal length range of 18 to 70 millimeters, which is equivalent to 27 to 105 millimeters in 35mm format.

Professional Quality with Point-and-Shoot Simplicity
While the D70s offers many features you'd only expect in a professional-level SLR, the camera also supports many features that make picture-taking a breeze for anyone. The D70s features Digital Vari-Program selections that automatically optimize white balance, sharpening, tone (contrast), color, saturation and hue settings to best match the selected scene. Instead of having to worry about all the camera settings, you can have the option of choosing from one of several "modes" -- such as Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close Up, Sports, Night Landscape, or Night Portrait -- that will deliver the optimum image for you according to the conditions. This means you can concentrate on capturing that special moment while leaving the details to the camera.

And once you've taken your shots, Nikon's PictureProject user interface makes image management, editing and sharing easy and fun. Simply connect the camera to a computer to automatically import pictures. You can also quickly e-mail or auto enhance images, run slide shows, burn CD/DVDs, and access other commonly used functions easily and intuitively. With simple drag-and-drop steps, you can organize pictures into separate collections and quickly locate any file by name, keyword, or date.

Among the many other features that make the D70s an ideal digital SLR solution are:

Nikon-exclusive Silent Wave Motor for high-speed auto-focusing with accuracy and super-quiet operation
Internal Focusing (IF) for smoother operation and great balance
Three Nikon ED glass elements, plus aspherical element for low distortion and minimized chromatic aberration
M/A mode for instant switching from auto-focus to manual Nikon D-Signal technology for enhanced flash and ambient exposure control

The camera's included EN-EL3a rechargeable lithium-ion offers up to 2,500 shots per charge, and the large, two-inch TFT LCD monitor offers several playback options, including single frame, four or nine-image thumbnail display, zoom with scroll (up to 4.7x), automatic slide show, histogram indication and highlight point display. In short, the Nikon D70s delivers the professional-level quality an SLR of this class but with many of the convenient automated features that can make photography so fun.

Epson PictureMate Express Printer
You've got a high performance digital camera. Now it's time to bring those photos into the world, with an easy-to-use, versatile, and affordable photo printer. With the touch of a button, you can print lab quality photos that look and feel like lab prints.

Take a closer look at the PictureMate Express Printer's functions.
With its unique six-color pigment technology and superior high resolution, the PictureMate Express produces rich, vibrant colors and beautiful skin tones. You can also print your photos in black and white or sepia tones, with classic borders or borderless. Or, print handy wallet sizes. You can even crop and resize your photos. All this without having to turn on your computer. Print straight from your camera's USB interface (the PictureMate Express supports the PictBridge direct printing standard), or use the printer's memory card slot to print 4 x 6 photos in just 80 seconds. The PictureMate also supports all popular memory cards. Plus, you can use the "Save Photo" button for easy one touch backup of digital files directly to an external CD-R, Zip drive or USB thumb drive.

The PictureMate Express is also designed for economy and high print quality.

In fact, using the PictureMate cartridge and PictureMate paper, prints can last up to 200 years in archival sleeves in album storage. And, for the first time ever, print your 4 x 6 photos at home for a cost comparable to many retail photo labs -- at about 29 cents per print, you can print to your heart's content. Using a unique six-color pigment ink system, you'll get incredible color and detail with every photo. The printer supports up to 5760 x 1440 optimized DPI (dots per inch) resolution.
