Read all of our handson camera re
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
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
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
No GPS
No WB and RAW/JPEG in the status menu
Lower dynamic range in JPEG than the competition
No RAW-share files in HDR-mode
Slight issues with AWB performance
Limited creative filter implementation
Dual Pixel AF does not allow tracking autofocus while shooting continuously
Relatively small viewfinder
LCD blacks out completely during continuous shooting in live view
AF illuminator integrated into flash (must have flash engaged to use it)
Complicated Wi-Fi setup
Movie mode disabled when Wi-Fi is enabled
HDR mode unavailable if Raw is active (rather than disengaging Raw)
Only one SD c
Live View AF only suitable for slow moving subjects
Slow shot-to-shot times in Live View
No built-in GPS nor supplied means to sync with log
No in-camera panorama stitching
Smartphone app can't transfer original image size
EOS Utility need a wireless LAN to operate wirelessly

The introduction of the Canon 70D doesn't mark a dramatic upturn in still image capture performance over its predecessor, the 60D. Probably the most significant changes in this regard are the inclusion of a 7 fps continuous shooting rate and the touchscr...
Quality: I was quite blown away by the quality of this camera's images; not only were they super sharp but the coloration was dead accurate.The focus was super fast and super accurate. The stabiliser works well, esp in video shooting. Note: three handheld...

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....

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