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

Canon's flagship APS-C camera finally delivers on the video DSLR promise-with a catch.

Since Nikon released the D90 in 2010, the promise of a do-everything, video-capable DSLR for consumers has largely gone unrealized. While practically every DSLR can shoot full HD video these days, none have made capturing everyday clips the accessible, convenient experience that it is on camcorders...

Pros:
  • a DSLR that won't break your bank or bend your shoulders

WOW

I received my 70D about a week ago. I had read all the reviews and seen You-Tube video's talking about the camera. But until you can have one in your hand, you cannot experience the true wonder of this Camera. I own a 60D [a wonderful camera], but this one is head and shoulders above the 60D.
