Amazing Effects for Dramatic and Gorgeous Results.
High Dynamic Range (HDR)
With its High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, the EOS 70D can merge three images of varying exposure in-camera and save them as one final image, capturing a broad range of shadow and highlight detail with stunning tonal range. Adjustable to cover a range of ±3 stops, HDR recording truly expands the parameters of the light and dark detail a camera can actually record, surprising viewers with the range of tones a photograph can accurately recreate.
Multiple Exposure Control
The EOS 70D offers a Multiple Exposure mode for film-like image creation with the convenience of in-camera processing. It offers two different compositing methods for proper exposure and composition: additive or average. Multiple exposure shots from 2 to 9 are stored as one final image and can be taken in both RAW and JPEG shooting modes. A RAW image previously captured by the EOS 70D (3:2 aspect ratio only) can be used as a starting point, and cumulative results can be observed and corrected in real time on the camera's LCD screen.
Handheld Night Scene mode
Handheld Night Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and detailed dark areas, delivering results previously difficult without the use of a tripod. By shooting and combining four consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast enough to avoid camera shake, the EOS 70D’s Handheld Night Scene mode makes dramatic nighttime photography simple.
HDR Backlight Control mode
The EOS 70D camera’s HDR Backlight Control mode ensures that backlit subjects are not recorded too darkly. By automatically shooting three consecutive shots at different exposures (underexposed, correctly exposed and overexposed) and combining the images, the final result maintains detail in both the shadow and highlight areas, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed.
Seven Creative Filters that can be displayed in real time
To add to the fun and creative possibilities available with the EOS 70D, the camera has seven different Creative Filters that can dramatically alter the mood and visual effect of any particular scene. Creative Filters include Grainy Black and White, Soft Focus, Fisheye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature Effect, Art Bold Effect and Water Painting Effect. Each effect can be applied in three different levels (low, standard and strong), and easily previewed on the LCD panel in Live View. Since the filters can be applied to the image after shooting, it's easy to try several effects on the same shot during post-process.
Complex Functions Made Simple.
Scene Intelligent Auto mode
The EOS 70D features Scene Intelligent Auto mode, which incorporates a number of Canon technologies to deliver the best possible exposure. Joining Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure, Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast, even whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod, and then chooses the exposure and enhancements that bring out the best in any scene or situation.
More Features for Increased Versatility.
Compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses
The EOS 70D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses and including the STM series optimized for video shooting. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer help to minimize the effect of camera shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light; STM lenses even feature a stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous autofocus while capturing video. With an array of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS 70D camera.
Multi Shot Noise Reduction
To enhance its already admirable high ISO shooting capabilities, the EOS 70D camera features an intelligent Multi Shot Noise Reduction tool that reduces noise even further than the camera’s sensor and the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor do. With Multi Shot Noise Reduction activated, the camera takes four consecutive shots, merges and aligns them. This eliminates more noise than the camera’s traditional Noise Reduction filter, with little or no apparent resolution loss. Moving subjects are even optimized to minimize subject blur! Thanks to this clever feature, high ISO shooting has never looked better.
Lens Aberration Correction
The EOS 70D features lens correction tools that compensate for lens characteristics that can affect overall image quality. The EOS 70D camera’s Peripheral Illumination Correction feature corrects light falloff in the corner of the image according to the characteristics of the lens being used. It even has correction data for a number of popular lenses stored in its memory. With the chromatic aberration correction tool, distracting color fringing can be corrected at the time of shooting.
Feature Guide
To help explain the specific function of features found on the EOS 70D, the Feature Guide displays a simple description helpful in determining the applicability for the situation at hand. It is displayed in each shooting mode, during mode dial operations, and for Quick Control screen functions. It appears automatically when a function is selected – a lifesaver when trying to determine the best mode or function for the next picture. The feature guide works automatically by default, and can be disabled easily through the camera’s menu.
GPS Compatible
With the optional GPS Receiver GP-E2 attached to the hot shoe or the digital terminal, the EOS 70D can record location, including latitude, longitude and altitude, and has the ability to track the trajectory of movement with its logging function, perfect for photographers on the go. An electric compass records the camera’s orientation during each shot, and world time information is recorded through GPS syncing.
Image Rating
To help organize images recorded to the camera’s storage, the EOS 70D makes it simple to rate individual images from one star to five. Therefore, image browsing, printing and slide shows can be based upon those ratings.
Compatibility with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, including Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) cards
The EOS 70D uses popular SD, SDHC, SDXC, and is even compatible with Ultra High Speed (UHS-I), memory cards. Compact and available in large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the camera’s compact design.

Although i do shoot a decent amount of still photography, I mainly wanted a dslr for filmmaking and videography. If you're reading this review, you already know about the 70D's insanely cool autofocusing technology. Let me tell you this.. it is worth the hype! it definitely works. Whether you're focusing on the foreground, background, or anything in between, with just a tap of the touchscreen the 70D will smoothly and decisively pull focus right to where you want it, every time, without the nasty searching/bouncing back and forth that made autofocus infamously unusable on older cameras/autofocus systems. I think that lots of filmmakers are so used to pulling focus manually that they scoff at the idea of an autofocus system doing the work for them, but it makes nailing the shot so much faster/easier, so why not?! It has facial tracking, so you can really just set the camera up, frame your scene and roll, and have all the confidence in the world that whether your talents are approaching or moving away from the camera or whatever, they will stay in perfect, crisp focus. This allows me to shoot faster lenses at really wide apertures for that glorious shallow depth of field all dslr filmmakers lust after, and not worry about the talent's face going out of focus with the slightest head bob.
I bought the 70D body only without the STM kit lenses most are shipping with. On my nifty fifty canon 50mm 1.8 i get fantastic image quality, but the lens motor does make a bit of noise, that can sometimes be noticeable. This is the same with my Tamron 28-75 f2.8 (fantastic lens for the 70D, by the way)(<-- SAD DAY!It's actually not, see edit below) but it doesn't matter much to me since i record audio separately away from the camera with a zoom recorder anyway, and just sync later in post, but apparently these new STM lenses are whisper quiet, so they would take care of that focusing noise, if it mattered to me. At some point i plan on purchasing the 40mm 2.8 STM pancake lens, because i hear it's a great bargain lens for this camera, and it wouldn't hurt to have that silent shooting option if needs be, but for now the main lenses that i use, the 50mm and 28-75mm, are just fine on the 70D.
I also really like the articulated touch screen, it is so convenient! My first night of shooting with the 70D i had to stand on a rickety ladder and hold the camera up above my head to get the shot that i wanted. On a normal camera this would have been impossible as i couldn't see the screen, but not on the 70D! it was a cinch to simply flip out the screen and rotate it down to easily pull focus and see what i was filming. It can also be very useful when you have to be in front of the camera, and are still trying to control what goes on behind it, as you can just rotate the screen all the way forward, and not to have to pester whatever unlucky friend you roped into helping you film your project every five seconds about what the shot looks like, lighting, focus, etc.
I have read several reviews making the bold claim that the 70D is in fact the greatest APS-C sensor camera...ever. I have to say that from the little time i've owned it, i can see why. In the past i have mostly shot on on an older 7D. Head to head, the 70D barely edges out the 7D, but yet the 7D is still like four or five hundred dollars more! The 70D gets you 2 more megapixels, the articulated touch screen, wifi onboard (which i have yet to use, but still) and of course the wondrous video autofocus, as well as the ability to shoot stills in live mode, which is very cool. Both cameras are weather sealed, so there's that. I do miss the solid built-like-a-tank magnesium body of the 7D, but the 70D is simply a better camera all around, and as it should be, it's like 5 years newer!
Some reviewers have mentioned that the quick control wheel/dial thing feels cheap and rather chintzy, and i have to concur, it's definitely the 'cheapest' feeling part of the 70d, but with the the other dial on the front near the shutter button as well the touch screen i never really have to use that dial anyway, so it's not really a big deal.
Photography wise, i am getting fantastic photos, as i expected. A nice fast frames per second shooting speed and a large enough buffer make shooting lots of pictures very quickly in RAW a breeze, and thus far the camera has performed very well in low light conditions. I have yet to really test the high iso-to-noise ratios, but i expect to perform decently in this aspect as well.
Overall, i am very, very pleased with my purchase of this camera. If you're into filmmaking and can't afford a full frame camera, this is the one for you. The autofocus makes everything very easy, and i have heard of filmmakers that prefer this camera over their 5D Mark III. Now I'm just waiting for MagicLantern to get updated for the 70D's firmware and I will be a very happy man.
Edit:
A word to the wise: There are well-documented problems with 3rd party lenses (i.e Tamron, Sigma, etc.) functioning properly while recording video on the 70D. I have to return my new Tamron 24-75mm lens because of this problem. It shoots stills just fine, but the moment i try and shoot video, after a very brief period of time (like maybe 30 seconds to a minute) the camera will stop recording and display the dreaded error message "please ensure that lens is properly attached". While this seems like it's more the lens manufacturer's fault than canon's, all the same, if you have pricey, high quality 3rd party lenses, or are thinking of purchasing some for this camera (let's be honest, so much cheaper than canon's own lenses, it's really hard not to) just don't be surprised if they don't play nice while shooting video on the 70D. :(
My absolute favorite feature on this camera is that you can easily attach your smart phone to it. Via wifi one can control the shutter or transfer pictures wirelessly. You can see exactly what the camera sees from your phone's screen! This is a great feature because you don't have to buy a dedicated shutter release.
Canon was super smart about how they implemented this wireless connectivity. The camera itself creates an access point that your device can attach to. Once you've connected your phone to the camera's hotspot you just launch the Canon app. You can even change the shutter speed and aperture on the camera from your phone.
The screen on this camera is AWESOME! It can pivot and turn allowing you to take pictures without being forced to look through the eye hole. The screen is vivid and colorful. Oh, and by the way, the screen is touch controlled. At first I kind of laughed at this feature, like "ha, who would ever use that?" I can't tell you how awesome the touch screen is, it's sensitive and accurate and a complete pleasure to work with. What's better is that almost every control you might ever need to adjust while shooting is accessible through the screen, meaning you don't have to fumble around with buttons, knobs or navigate menus to adjust your shot settings.
The 70D has a reasonable HDR shooting mode, which is a function I always want on my cameras. Some of the Sony cameras have pretty awesome HDR, taking up to 7 pictures to combine together. The 70D can take 3 pictures at different exposures and combine them together, which in many cases is adequate.
Of course the picture quality is astounding on Canon's 70D. Right out of the box I took 3 pictures of friends in my house that just blew me away. I knew after 10 minutes of shooting with this device that I made the right purchase.
I've owned the Canon 20D and 50D in the past. One thing that always drove me crazy was that the battery meter. The meter previously had four indications, Full, Medium, Low and flashing (very low). On my previous cameras the battery meter would show full, then be at low, skipping the midrange all together. The Canon 70D's battery meter is far more accurate, meaning you aren't surprised by a dead battery all of a sudden.
While we're at it, the battery life is superb on the 70D.
I never really cared much about shooting video with my cameras before. The 70Ds video shooting is SO incredibly good that I am now looking for opportunities to record things! Last night I recorded my friend's harp recital. I was standing in the doorway across the room and just using the built in microphone. The sound was good (though one can purchase a wireless microphone for better sound), and the video quality was out of this world.
The only real complaint I have with this camera is that it seems challenged by scenes with highly differing contrasts. The first evening after receiving the 70D I went for walk a little bit before sunset. I was taking pictures of brick buildings with the sky above them. The brick looked overly dark and lacked detail. I had several other similar experiences shooting with bright skies. The pictures were so concerning I called Canon tech support (which was excellent by the way). They looked at my raw images and said the camera was fine.
After using the 70D for some time now I've learned to compensate by setting the ISO to auto or adjusting the metering mode. Most DSLRs I've owned have had their own "personality." Learning the nuances of these cameras takes a little time.
All in all, this is by far the best camera I've ever owned. I can't recommend it enough!

La estabilidad del video que trae es muy buena.
La calidad de la inagen muchas veces depende también del lente.
Considero que el lente que ya venía con la cámara es excelente para casi todo tipo de ocasión, es muy cómodo y silencioso.
Si buscas una cámara no tan profesional pero acercándose a ese tipo de calidad, esta es una excelente opción.
I have not had the chance to really try it on the field, but so far I am excited with the 70D.
The shipping was extremely fast and reliable. Actually, I received the package 2 weeks prior to the expected time of arrival !
Wi-Fi feature is handy, especially for remote control with a smartphone, but it is not necessary.
The 18-135 IS STM is great too. The STM is just breathtaking ! Not a noise comes out the lens when focusing and it is extremelly fast.
I am more used to low-end DSLR, thus maybe not very objective regarding the performances and features :)
