This is probably the last gadget review we do this year and what a rocking time we had with this camera. We got our hands on the Canon 70D to run it through our test bench. This is a no-nonsense DSLR from Canon, built to perform in almost any type of light setting.

Camera Review: Canon EOS 70D

The 70D is a solid, midrange camera with the core features one expects from-and needs in-a DSLR. But aside from its feature set, good performance and image quality, the 70D offers groundbreaking technology with its Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, which provides faster, more accurate and smoother...

Canon EOS 70D DSLR, First in Video Focus - Review

How do you guys think the video quality and capabilities of the Canon 70D compares to the Panasonic GH3? Thank you in advance for any information you can give! The GH3 shoots 1080 60fps. That's one significant advantage. In your Review Techs Specs you say "VideoOut: HDMI (monitor and recording)".
