Competent ‘Prosumer' digital SLR for those looking for a mid to high end shooter Adjustable LCD with touch screen plus rugged build and body integral Wi-Fi, not to mention 20MP pictures, add up to a classy if pricey contender If you're in the market for a digital SLR to take your photography to a

Swift and accurate auto focus; semi professional body construction with chunky handgrip and top plate LCD; angle adjustable rear screen with touch panel operation; built-in Wi-Fi connectivity

Heavier than most consumer DSLRs; particularly with kit zoom attached; expensive for an APS-C DSLR; awkward to tweak settings using small top plate buttons encircling the smallest LCD

The Canon EOS 70D delivers the smoothest Live View focus we've seen in a traditional D-SLR, but it can struggle to lock that focus in dim light. (4 out of 5) Pros Smooth video autofocus Articulating touch-screen LCD Pentaprism optical viewfinder Quick focus in most situations 7fps continuous drive...

Smooth video autofocus; Articulating touch-screen LCD; Pentaprism optical viewfinder; Quick focus in most situations; 7fps continuous drive shooting; Lots of physical controls; Vertical grip add-on available; 1/250-second flash sync speed; Integrated Wi-Fi

Live View autofocus struggles in low light; Only one SD card slot; Lacks built-in GPS; No PC Sync socket; 1080p video is limited to 30fps; Cannot record video when Wi-Fi is enabled

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.

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,...

Higher ISO settings were still very noisy; Just one memory card slot; Some aberrations in high contrast areas

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...

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.

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...

New sensor delivers excellent autofocus performance and the camera itself is quite fast; Streamlined design; Feature set appropriately tailored to the target market

Image quality doesn't overly impress for this price class; Single card slot; Hard-to-control multicontroller; Wi-Fi/movie mode conflict

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...

Built to last construction; Fast response times; Full HD video

Bulky and heavy; Not full-frame resolution; Top-plate short cuts

In addition to great stills and videos, Canon's new Dual Pixel AF technology is a real winner, garnering the EOS 70D an Editor's Choice Award.

Excellent enthusiast DSLR; Dual Pixel AF for movies a major improvement; High-quality stills; great videos

No AF Assist lamp on body; Wi-Fi implementation needs help; Bulky; but that comes with the territory

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.

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

The kit lens; as good as it is; does display marked distortion at both the wide and telephoto extremes

My dear human beings, this thing is Insanely Awsome and i definitely would recommend this to all the people who want to make Beautiful and i say "Beautiful" movies and of course stills, Get this baby.

just beautiful results.

nothing much
