Canon EOS 70D
We wanted to give the camera an image quality rating of 7.5; it's very good, but overall, not quite as good as the D7100, all things considered. It's unfortunate because the rest of the package - excellent autofocus system, streamlined shooting design and appropriate feature set for the price - adds...
Pros:
- New sensor delivers excellent autofocus performance and the camera itself is quite fast
- Streamlined design
- Feature set appropriately tailored to the target market
Cons:
- Image quality doesn't overly impress for this price class
- Single card slot
- Hard-to-control multicontroller
- Wi-Fi/movie mode conflict

- Limited creative filter implementation

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
