Deaccession: Nikon D70 body

 

This was my main digital camera from 2006 through late 2010. It was my primary camera on several major trips including a trip to Paris in 2006, several months in Europe in 2007, various trips around the US, and finally my trip to Kenya and Tanzania in 2010 after which it had had enough and finally gave up the ghost. It would cost more money than it is worth to fix it now, and I have a new digital camera. It's kind remarkable (sad commentary?) to think that my Hasselblad and Calumet 4x5 camera have been in good working condition for decades even before I got them while this piece of consumer electronics failed after four years of use and isn't even worth fixing. I am holding on to the lenses in case I get another Nikon in the future.
