Canon EOS 70D review

If you're in the market for the very best consumer level DSLR you can get then the 20.2 megapixel APS-C sensor incorporating EOS 70D has got to be high on your wish list. But then again, at this top-end price there's always the temptation to spend a little more and go for a full-frame sensor model...
Pros:
  • Built to last construction
  • Fast response times
  • Full HD video
Cons:
  • Bulky and heavy
  • Not full-frame resolution
  • Top-plate short cuts

Canon EOS 70D Review

It seems such a long time since this camera's predecessor - Canon EOS 60D - was launched. And it was. About this time, three years ago and lots has happened in the interval. MILCs are here for one thing but there are still plenty of DSLR-coholics craving for an optical view of the world.
Pros:
  • a DSLR that won't break your bank or bend your shoulders
Cons:
  • check your expertise level

Excellent.

The 70D is my 5th Canon and 3rd Canon DSLR, and each has improved on the previous model. It took me (70 y o) a little time to work out the functions which are set out a little differently from my 550 but on top of it now and extremely happy with the photo quality.
Pros:
  • Build quality
  • Battery life
  • Screen size

Most Well Rounded APS-C Camera Available

I did a great deal of research into what sort of DSLR I wanted to purchase. After class, I'd come home and search for hours. During lunch breaks at work, I would watch YouTube videos about numerous Canon cameras (I just prefer Canon construction).Now I'm no professional and I've never taken a...
