Switch the 70D into video mode, however, and all bets are off. While the 60D didn't offer continuous AF for video capture, the 70D does so, and does so with a vengeance. Continuous AF shooting video with the 70D is simply the best DSLR performance I have ever had my hands on, regardless of camera...

Good still image quality; Good ISO noise performance; Latest generation processing engine and technology; Touchscreen monitor offers quick control response; Exceptional DSLR video performance due to continuous AF

72 dpi still image output requires resizing for printing; Touchscreen monitor collects fingerprints and smudges; impairing legibility in bright conditions; Camera seems to lose highlights to a higher degree than the 60D at default settings

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...

Innovative and effective Dual Pixel CMOS AF system; solid core feature set; useful Wi-Fi options; responsive, fully-articulated touchscreen

Lacks advanced fine-tuning features in areas such as in-camera noise reduction; image quality is only slightly better than its predecessor (but still good for this price point

The video is pretty good. Or at least, the focusing capabilities are better than on other EOS DSLR cameras to date. When this video system gets improved and put on higher end cameras, Canon will really have something!!

Easy To Use; Large Clear LCD; Tilt /Swivel LCD; Wifi Capability

Noisy At High ISO

The 70D is Canon's best DSLR for ages. While its recent entry-level models have been near flawless in their own right, they've not really offered anything that might make compact system camera users sit up and take notice. But the 70D does exactly that.

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

Bigger than a mirrorless cam; Expensive

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.

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

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

When all of the photography world was expecting an upgrade to the excellent 7D, Canon surprised us all by releasing an upgrade to the 60D the 70D, with a 20MP cropped sensor with a new dual-pixel CMOS AF system.

The latest EOS from Canon has been a few years in the making, but we're sure Canon users will agree it's been worth the wait. This model incorporates lots of contemporary technology such as Wi-Fi and touchscreen operation, as well as unveiling brand-new features like the Dual Pixel sensor, which...

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
