Canon EOS 70D Review

Canon EOS 70D Review

Canon's introduction of the EOS 70D brings some new and exciting technology to the table. The revolutionary new Dual-Pixel CMOS AF gives the camera some abilities that are not possible on other dSLRs. As the replacement to the 60D, there have been some major upgrades as well. Starting with the new CMOS sensor featuring 20.2-Megapixels and the new AF system, you will also find the new DIGIC 5+ image processor, 19-point all cross type AF system when shooting with the OVF, built-in WiFi, dual layer metering system and a 3.0-inch Clear View II LCD screen. All of these great features, plus a many more, combine with 103 Canon lenses (as of July 2013) to give you one of the most versatile and impressive collections of lenses available. With all the technical innovation and features you should not let this camera intimidate you. It has Canon's Scene Intelligent Auto shooting mode for anyone lacking in experience as well as advanced manual modes for those with more experience. In other words, the camera is as easy to use as any other, while still providing full control for the more experienced photographer.

Leading the way in the 70D's new technology is the innovative 20.2-Megapixel Dual-Pixel CMOS AF imaging sensor. This sensor has greatly improved the camera's video and Live View shooting. The pixels on this sensor feature 2 photodiodes instead of one, allowing for phase-difference detection autofocus on 80% fo the image plane while the camera is in Live View mode. This allows for much greater and more accurate AF than the previous contrast detection AF found on the other EOS cameras. When it comes to video shooting, the new AF system allows for better continuous AF. Combining this with the Movie AF servo even allows you to change the focus point of your movie smoothly and accurately just by touching the LCD screen. Built-in WiFi adds another dimension to Canon's mid-level cameras. Combined with the EOS Remote App, you... Continue Reading
