Hi,
I am new to the forum. Does anybody know if it is possible or how to take black and white photographs with the Nikon D70? |

Doing BW in post gives better results anyway... you have more control
Taken with D70 post with Photoshop CS2

| I actually think that the B&W feature on the 20D was a bit of a joke BUT I can see where B&W out of the camera can be a pus for people who don't venture in post-editing. |

With the 350 I sometimes shoot RAW+JPEG with the B/W settings - that way you get an immediate idea whether the shot might work in B/W (and you get decent enuough images there for a quick post), ad still have the RAW data.
One of the greatest theatre photographers in London shoots with 20D's almost exclusively set to B/W.

why would this be a joke??? I use the b@w feature on my little Olympus and I LOVE it...and I use it in correlation with PS. It doesn't have to be either or. |

Because since the same exact results (better even) can be achieved in Post and beause the in camera B&W does not create a V shaped curve which is crutial to high contrast B&W, then why limit the potential of a full color original? |
