D70 And D7000


D7000 and D70.  The plastic fantastic D70 is taller, wider and lighter than the D7000
Nikon camera is known for its superior ergonomic design.  Perhaps the D7000 is an exception.

Multi selector
Notice the placement of the multi selector?  It should have been put where the live view switch is, period.

AE-L/AF-L
The AE-L/AF-L button is way too close to the viewfinder rendering it very difficult to use especially for those who wear eyeglasses.  And I don't even have big hands or big thumbs.  The D70 is equally bad in that department.  The F5 is indefinitely better as the viewfinder is more protruded from the body.  Luckily I don't use this button too often perhaps because it's impossible to use.

Power switch
Not as decisive as the D70.  It doesn't have a nice click to it.  It also acts as a light switch to the control panel on top just like the F5.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
