We feel that Canon purposely crippled the sensor. It's worse than the 7D's and 5D Mk II's. Yes
The Mk II
Really wish that the back dial was beefier
The implementation of direct autofocus point selection vs having to press a button first would've made
Tedious wireless and white balance control
Somewhat bulky
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

72 dpi still image output requires resizing for printing

Impairing legibility in bright conditions

No built-in GPS nor supplied means to sync with log
No in-camera panorama stitching
Smartphone app can't transfer original image size

Canon's 70D is surely capable of taking some great photos, but we feel that the camera could have been even better. It is a minor upgrade from the 60D with the exception of the autofocusing, wifi addition, and the menu system. What's holding us back from...
