I'm wondering how much luck you will have in finding a used D70,
however. Let us know how that goes.

Good Luck,
Don.


It's all in knowing where to look. Found one in about 10 seconds.

What's the difference between a D70 and a D70s? The site I went to lists
both.

O.K. I haven't been looking, so of course I did not find one.

D70s is a later version of essentially the same camera:

1) The LCD display is larger (2" instead of 1.5"0

2) Enhanced autofocus mode (available for the D70 with the free
download of the updated firmware).

3) Different colors in the menus making them somewhat more
readable plus a few extra options (also available for the D70
with the new firmware).

4) A connector for a direct wired remote control, to be used in
addition to the wireless remote which the D70 has.

5) ?? I may have forgotten something.

Only items (1) and (4) above cannot be added to the D70 with the
firmware upgrade, as they are truly hardware upgrades.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Wouldn't mind at all. If you go to "File Info", which is under the File
menu on the Mac version at least, you'll get a multi-panel info box where
you can view, and edit where applicable, the image metadata, including
EXIF (read-only), IPTC, XMP, etc. But not MakerNotes, apparently.


That feature is apparently not available in Photoshop Elements 3.

Are you referring to PSE 3's ability to show any EXIF data, or just
MakerNotes and History of edits?

Any EXIF data. I have both PS CS and PSE3, and can find the EXIF date in
PS CS (under "File Info"), but not in PSE3 (Mac). Am I overlooking
something?

Thanks in advance,

The short answer is no! At least not with any reliability
The next longer answer is ... well, maybe if the previous owner had
the sequential numbering of images turned on for all the images they
shot.

There appear to be a lot of people telling you where to find the data,
unfortunately no one seems to remember the sequential counter can be
turned on or off so what you see as the image number may, or may not
represent the number of images shot with the D-70.

If you choose, it can be set up to count images just like it's done on
film, per roll, or in this case per memory module. Shoot a bunch,
move them to the computer and it'll start over at 1 again.

Ok. Since the OP hasn't been back this is for the benefit of
others.

I have just taken 4 pictures with a D70S. For the first 2 pictures the
menu item "File No. Seq." was set to "On" and for the next 2 set to
"Off" .

The shutter count number retrieved by d70count.exe incremented
for each shot. 2142, 2143, 2144, 2145.

I then checked using ExifViewer from http://www.amarra.de/exif_uk.htm
and the value in the field called "Pictures (total)" reported the same
values d70count reported.

ShutterCount does not reset with the file numbering.

I don't know! I don't even know if Elements has a browser similar to
CS's. As mentioned, the browser's wehre I do most of my EXIF reviewing.
