Verdict
Pick the Canon EOS 400D if you prioritize higher resolution for detailed images and want to save 10 EUR. The Nikon D70 stays the better choice if you prefer a slightly sturdier build (given its weight) and don’t need the extra megapixels. Both are equally matched in speed and stabilization, so the decision hinges on resolution or budget.
