- Fast focusing, 19 cross type focus points
- Very nice ISO performance
- Touch screen is awesome
- Sturdy build quality and nice ergonomics
- The video quality is excellent combined with STM lenses
- Battery perfomance is very good
Cons:
- No headphone jack
- not a deal breaker

Brilliant camera!
I purchased this camera for a trip to Canada - and I'm so glad that I did! Going on a family trip, I took 90% of my pics on auto settings without a tripod and they came out fantastic - I just didn't have the time to fiddle with settings when I needed to get the right shot at that moment while...

Great upgrade
Upgraded to this from a 550D which I had for around 18 months.<br />There are a lot more features on this compared to the 550D. All useful. I've had the 70D for just over a month, it takes some getting used to as the settings, buttons and dials are all in different places, but once you find your way...
Pros:
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Great Touch Screen
- Lots Of Features

Canon EOS 70D review
At first glance the Canon EOS 70D may look like just another DSLR. But it's oh so much more than that: the 70D wages all-out war against not only the rest of the mid-level DSLR market, but also has the technology to take on mirrorless models - often called compact system cameras - too. How so?
Pros:
- Dual Pixel autofocus closes the live view gap between DSLR and CSC cameras - it's very impressive
- proven 19-point AF system works well in most lighting conditions
- 7fps burst at full resolution with decent buffer
- great image quality
- responsive touchscreen
- long-lasting battery life,...
Cons:
- Not 100% FoV viewfinder
- high ISO noise reduction a little rough
- autofocus can unwontedly drift between subjects during movie capture
- no headphone jack for audio monitoring
- some overexposure
- filters unavailable in raw + JPEG shooting
- single SD
- Wi-Fi functionality needs improving

Canon EOS 70D: Review
In many respects, the Canon EOS 70D is an amazing camera. The flurry of 7 fps, with infinite buffer (or almost) and continuous autofocus, it is a strength indisputable, especially when you consider that the scanned files are 20 megapixels.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent AF (also in Live View
- 7 fps burst
- Swivel touch screen
- Good video mode
Cons:
- Placement of some keys improved
- One SD slot
- No AF-assist lamp

Canon EOS 70D
The 20.2 megapixel sensor uses a Dual Pixel CMOS AF design in which every single pixel is split into two separately readable photodiodes, facing left and right. So in principle, each pixel is capable of phase-detection autofocus in Live View and Movie mode.
Pros:
- Innovative autofocus system
- Articulated touch-screen LCD
- Built-in Wi-Fi
Cons:
- Quite heavy

Quick review: Canon EOS 70D
Canon's EOS 70D is not just a welcome follow-up to the 60D, it also surpasses its line and could serve as a viable alternative for the much loved 7D. In certain respects, the 70D is a curious animal.
Pros:
- Relatively compact and easy to hold
- Full featured
- excellent image quality
- Highly responsive focusing system
Cons:
- Lack of full water sealing may deter prosumer users
- Not as ruggedised as the 7D
