That chart is wrong on at least a couple items, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's also wrong about the availability of high-speed flash sync on the D70s. It seems like the chart maker did some copy-and-pasting and made some mistakes. For instance, the D50 and D70s do not provide metering support for AI-P Nikkor lenses contrary to what the chart says -- indeed, the chart would have you think there are no diffs between any of those DSLRs in terms of lens support. Also, the D50 does not provide 1/3-EV steps for manually setting ISO, and IIRC, the available diopter adjustments for the D50 and D70s should be different.

And lastly, the closely related spec for "Top TTL Sync" speed of the D70s seems rather odd at 1/250s even though "X-Sync" speed is at 1/500s. Since I have never heard of such diffs w/ flash support between D70 and D70s and the D70/70s are much closer to the D50 (including the sensor w/ electronic shutter) than to the higher end bodies, I would have to believe that spec is just another error on Nikon's part.
