I wish I could say it was perfect, but sometimes I take a picture and it comes out rubbish. One time not sharp - other times sharp in the wrong place - other times under/over exposed.
Clearly it's not me to blame (how could it be?), and I'm starting to think it must be my D70 that is faulty.
I raised a report with Nikon and they told me it was "error between user and camera". Not sure I understand that at all.

Mine's working fine, but the results are still not as good as using 35mm cellulite slide fillum
Jim,
There can be several reasons for that, but I would venture the most common one is that, maybe, the post processing is below par. (I hope that doesn't come accross as patronising or condesending, I'm only trying to help.) I think if you can take a good piccy with film then you can take a good one digitally, it just might not look as good because it hasn't reached it's full potential. HTH.

What's the differeNce?!!!!
I know how to tweak things in Photoshop, Martin, so no worries on that score.
I have the camera mainly for underwater useage, and while I have only done one trip with it, I found my "hit rate" was about 10% what it is with slide film, the only saving grace was that I was not limited to 36 shots a dive! I know it is a learning curve, especially with a new system, but the colours are not as hot, the detail not as fine and you don;t get underwater sunbursts on a digital camera like you do with 35mm slide...
Still, no going back now!
Cheers
Jim

As a matter of interest, apart from less detail and flatter colours, which I imagine would be constant on all shots, what do you find wrong with the other 90%?
You can always post some and let the PH PS brigade trample them for you

I will dig a few out for you! I have to take them off my laptop first, and then you will see what I mean!
(A lot of them are a matter of "Where did that fish go?" or "Hmmmm, all I can see is the diver's fins!"

It broke down for 15 seconds at a time after taking shots, I'm going to complain that film cameras never did this!
