Apples Growing By A Fence


Today I bought a Nikon D70s, a camera dating from c.2005. The D70 models are some of the few SLR cameras with a CCD sensor. These were abandoned because alternative technology was cheaper. It is claimed that CCD technology provides a particular character of rendering and resolution; a vibrancy not always evident in the CMOS sensors which replaced them. Differences in colour and white balance can be adjusted in post processing, whereas the difference between a faintly antiseptic CMOS and a vibrant CCD cannot be replicated after the shutter has been activated. Zack Arias, a photographer who started out with the D70/70s described the skin tone resolving power of the D70, as “mind-blowing”. (I have yet to risk blowing my own mind).
I thought it might be instructive to conduct my own tests, a fairly cheap exercise given the secondhand values of 14 year old digital cameras. I hope my D70 holds up long enough to reach a conclusion!
Lens at 70mm. 200 ISO; f/8; 1/320th.
