Canon EOS 70D camera review
The development of the APS sensor digital single-lens reflex has reached the point where further improvement comes in small steps. In the 70D it is the arrangement of the light receptors on the sensor that is different, the benefits of which might not be immediately apparent to users.
Pros:
- Image quality is excellent, with brilliant resolution, colour and dynamic range
- The image-stabilised lens, although made down to a price, performs well mechanically and optically
Cons:
- The kit lens
- as good as it is
- does display marked distortion at both the wide and telephoto extremes

Canon EOS 70D review
Canon has produced a very well rounded camera for enthusiast photographers. It has all the specifications that we expect, along with a few modern niceties in a body that feels well made and comfortable in the hand.

The Canon EOS 70D really is the "game changer" that Canon claims. Its new sensor and DIGIC 5+ processor really take it to new heights with outstanding performance, image quality and new video capabilities. It is well worth the money for a first or upgraded dSLR camera.
Pros:
- iAuto shooting mode is accurate and easy in all situations
- Overall image quality is excellent
- Live View AF is much faster than other dSLR cameras
- Continuous AF works great for stills and video
- 3.0-inch touch LCD is one of the easiest and most accurate to use
- Outstanding shooting performance,...
Cons:
- Higher ISO settings were still very noisy
- Just one memory card slot
- Some aberrations in high contrast areas

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)".

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
