    The Genius of Pixel Based AF

    Dual Pixel CMOS AF is a cutting-edge Canon technology, made possible by a sophisticated redesigning of the CMOS sensor. Traditionally, image sensors have one photodiode per pixel, but the CMOS sensor on the EOS 70D has two photodiodes per pixel, enabling each pixel on the sensor to both perform phase-difference detection autofocus and capture light – a first for EOS cameras. With phase-difference detection AF, autofocus is achieved quickly and easily on the camera. This unique AF system enables autofocus on 80% of the image plane, vertically and horizontally, and helps ensure virtually no loss in image quality.

With the EOS 70D’s Intelligent Viewfinder, unlike with other cameras, the photographer has the choice of seeing shooting information or looking only at the scene in front of the camera. The ability to effectively erase all shooting data and turn it back on with the touch of a button gives the photographer the opportunity to concentrate simply on looking and composing the photograph without distraction, a great advantage in numerous shooting situations.

    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.

    Customers like the autofocus of the camera. They mention that the Dual Pixel COMS autofocus system is better at not only grabbing focus, but keeping it. The focus is fast and dead on, and the live view manual focusing is easy. They also appreciate the ability to tune the focus on a per-lens basis, and take well-focused and shake-free footage with both the 18-135mm STM and the STM. Overall, customers are happy with the autofocusing capabilities of the product.

    Customers are satisfied with the speed of the camera. They mention that it has a nice fast frames per second shooting speed, the viewfinder AF works extremely quick, and the STM lenses are fairly quick in their focusing. The 70D has great high ISO performance, with usable shots up to about 6400 ISO or higher. The camera delivers exceptionally well on both fronts, and is a very responsive beast.

    Impressive image quality & autofocus!
    5 Stars
    Impressive image quality & autofocus!
    The 70D packs cutting edge technology and features into a compact body. It's basically a marriage of 60D form factor and 7D AF. Toss in Wi-Fi, a new 20.2MP Dual Pixel CMOS, Movie Servo and that's the 70D in a nutshell.CONSTRUCTION is superb: polycarbonate body shell, matte black paint and stainless steel undercarriage. Thick textured rubber and finger groove make for a secure grip. The shutter has the same metallic click-clack as the 60D and is louder than the 7D and 6D. Silent drive mode can fade operation to pianissimo, making it ideal for ceremonies.Like the 60D, the 70D has a vivid 3.0" 1,040,000 dot LCD. The big deal is the addition of a touch screen: sensitivity is better than my iPhone 5s and ideal for LiveView shooting in dim light. The swivel LCD is handy for video and ground level macro. However, it hits L-plates and flash brackets when swiveled to the side.CONTROLS: DSLRs are about control and nobody buys one to use in full auto. Don't like the results of auto exposure or AF? No problem: override or directly control. Plus, controls and features may be customized, allowing multiple ways to do the same thing. For example, I assigned electronic level activation to the DOF button and programmed C mode with my favorite drive, AF and exposure settings.Buttons and wheels are solid and can be operated by feel while looking through the viewfinder. Unlike the 50D or 7D, the 70D lacks a joystick, flash exposure compensation (FEC) button and WB button. However, you can assign FEC to the SET button and a scale appears in the viewfinder. Finally, the 7D's toggle switch for LiveView and video migrated to the 70D, a big improvement over the 60D's clumsy Mode dial video.AUTOFOCUS: The 70D inherited the 7D's blazing fast 19-point cross type AF array. It's sensitive and sure-footed in most light and includes three of the 7D's five AF modes: zone, manual selection and 19-point auto. Spot and expanded point AF are MIA. Nevertheless, a big step up from 9-point 60D AF. New DSLR users should understand these three AF modes aren't designed to recognize human faces like a point-and-shoot or iPhone. However, face recognition AF is available in LiveView and video modes.TESTING AF: Using single point AF mode and a tripod, I shot test patterns both flat and inclined with my 15-85 IS USM and 50 2.5 CM. AF was extremely accurate, locking consistently on the point I selected on an inclined ruler. In real world use--landscapes, portraits, stage and travel--the AF system was surefooted and fast, besting my 7D with a nearly 100% keeper rate. This is the best AF system I have used, and I've owned dozens of cameras. My most important advice: take control of AF and select what you want to be in focus. Cameras aren't smart enough to know if you want a tree or cloud in focus, so avoid 19-point auto select mode and full auto. If you expect this camera to guess what you want you'll be disappointed.UPDATE 08/10/2014. I tested my EF 10-22 3.5-4.5 USM and focus was spot on. My EF 70-200 4L IS USM was a little off: contrast focus in LiveView was perfect but the 19-point array needed +3 micro adjustment at the wide end and +2 at the long end. Now it's tack sharp. It's fine at default (MA 0) on my 7D and 6D. However, glad MA was included on this model! I had to mail my 20D to Canon for focus calibration.IMAGE QUALITY is similar to the 60D from ISO 100 to 800, i.e., great! I developed RAW images in DPP and was pleased with detail, color rendition and noise control. At ISO 1600 plus the 70D pulls away from the 60D: less noise and the noise it has is less prone to banding artifacts and more grain-like. Also, noise is easier to control with noise reduction plug-ins, e.g., Topaz Denoise, squeezing out another stop of acceptable high ISO over my 60D. Basically ISO 6400 is acceptable for web or small prints, e.g., 11x14, with mild noise reduction treatment in PP.VIDEO: Contrast detection AF during video or LiveView is a mammoth improvement over previous DSLRs. It's much faster, includes a camcorder-like movie servo mode and focus-pulls are a snap with the touch screen. However, focus is poky compared to 19-point AF and my Olympus Pen E-P5. For dim light, e.g., city lights or moonlit landscapes, you'll want to stick to 19-point AF. That said, the improved contrast detection AF is a great feature, especially for holiday video shooters! If you disable face recognition AF speeds up considerably.Built-in stereo audio is okay for casual clips but is noisy, bass deficient and compressed. I use outboard audio and mics for serious shoots.The file size limit of 4GB (FAT spec) means older EOS stop recording midway in a long track! The 70D solves this gotcha by automatically and seamlessly splitting files greater than 4GB for extended video recording! Plus, HD video quality is excellent: blacker blacks and cleaner in low light than my 60D and 7D. Search YouTube for videos of my ensemble, Leeward Coast Guitars, shot during Spring and Fall 2014 (outboard audio used).WI-FI: Via the EOS Remote app you can diddle settings, fire shutter, and use LiveView on your iPhone, iPad, Droid or computer. Wi-Fi eats batteries fast, so carry spares. My main complaint is Wi-Fi is complicated to set up. Also, you can't upload directly to FB or photo sharing sites but, instead, upload to Canon's awkward photo service and transfer from there. But at least Canon wants your uploads to look good and provides in-camera tweaks and RAW conversion.VIEWFINDER: The 98% coverage and .95x magnification are less than the 100% coverage and 1.0x of the 7D. However, viewfinder clarity and brightness are a level above the 60D and 7D and a couple levels better than a recent Rebel. Even with a F4 zoom the viewfinder is a pleasure to use: bright, grainless, smooth and vivid. The transmissive LCD display--transparent LCD over the focusing screen--can display icons, AF patterns, metering patterns, grid and plain matte screens and an electronic level.FLASH: The popup flash is fine for fill and snapshots, and functions as a wireless E-TTL master. My 430EX II worked well as a slave bounced off walls and ceilings. Both bounce and direct flash images were well exposed. This is one of the few cameras I rarely need to touch FEC.FINAL BURB: The 70D is a petite, nimble and capable instrument, and a significant upgrade over the 60D. Plus, it's easy on the shoulder, nails focus in most situations, captures impressive images and video and is an ideal travel and hiking DSLR.
