Canon EOS 70D review

 

Canon's enthusiast-friendly DSLR still cuts it

Excellent image quality ; Plenty of control over images ; Responsive, articulated touchscreen ; Wi-Fi built in for remote control ; 19-AF points all cross-type

Creative Filters JPEG only ; HDR mode JPEG only ; Creative Filters live view only ; Viewfinder level can be hard to see ; Metering problems in high contrast

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.

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...

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...

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,...

The 70D represents the DSLR in the post-mirror age. If you're looking for an all-rounder when it comes to both still images and movie capture then there's no other pure DSLR out there that can offer such a varied and successful feature set.

Canon EOS 70D review

 

Can Canon's new 70D take the fight back to compact system cams? With a clever new autofocus system on board, it just might

Excellent new autofocus system ; Superb image quality ; Handy Wi-Fi and touchscreen

Bigger than a mirrorless cam ; Expensive

The Canon EOS 70D is a supremely well-featured DSLR which can shoot beautiful pictures and great video. Advanced amateurs and semi-pros alike will love it.

Canon EOS 70D review

 

There's so much to like about the eagerly awaited replacement for the Canon EOS 60D , the 70D. It comes with a completely overhauled, Live View/video-optimized autofocus system that doesn't require special lenses; a more streamlined body design with an...

The Canon EOS 70D's new sensor delivers excellent autofocus performance and the camera itself is quite fast. Its design is reasonably streamlined and the feature set appropriately tailored to the target market as well.

The image quality doesn't overly impress for this price class, and certain aspects of the design -- notably single card slot, hard-to-control multicontroller and the Wi-Fi/movie mode conflict resolution -- are annoying.

An overall excellent camera, but one that fails to capture the best-in-class prize for image quality.

Replacing the older EOS 60D, the Canon EOS 70D is a high-end digital SLR aimed at professional photographers and more enthusiastic amateurs. Its 20Mp sensor doesn't just have a high resolution, but a clever design that allows for almost instantaneous...

Canon EOS 70D review

 

It seems that there used to be a wealth of high-end enthusiast DSLRs to choose from, but with a longer wait between updates it appears that choice is gradually being reduced. Whether or not the EOS 70D should be your next Canon DSLR depends on your...

Quick review: Canon EOS 70D

 

Canon's EOS 70D is not just a welcome followup to the 60D, it also surpasses its line and could serve as a viable alternative for the much loved 7D.

Relatively compact and easy to hold, Full featured, excellent image quality, Highly responsive focusing system

Lack of full water sealing may deter prosumer users, Not as ruggedised as the 7D
