Abstract: This is probably the last gadget review we do this year and what a rocking time we had with this camera. We got our hands on the Canon 70D to run it through our test bench. This is a no-nonsense DSLR from Canon, built to perform in almost any type of ligh...
Due to sheer lack of space, it is impossible to write about everything that we tried out on the EOS 70D. New features like Wi-Fi were a bit of a ‘hit or miss' whereas the dual-pixel and fast speed of operation impressed overall. It is not just a bump over...
The EOS Canon 70D is a well-built and capable camera that produces excellent results with plenty of detail – especially in raw files.Although you need to take care in high-contrast conditions, in many situations the 63-zone Evaluative metering system does...
Excellent image quality, Articulated touchscreen, Impressive autofocus in video

The Canon 70D is an extremely impressive camera, and although it's now a few years old it's still a strong candidate for your cash. Canon's excellent continuous performance, articulated touchscreen, superior live view and video autofocus and integrated Wi...

Excellent new autofocus system, Superb image quality, Handy Wi-Fi and touchscreen
Bigger than a mirrorless cam, Expensive
VERDICT The 70D is Canon's best DSLR for ages. While its recent entry-level models have been near flawless in their own right, they've not really offered anything that might make compact system camera users sit up and take notice. But the 70D does exactly...
Swift and accurate auto focus for both stills and video, semi pro feel built-to-last build, superb image quality that packs a punch even with 18-55mm kit zoom, angle adjustable LCD with touch screen
Chunkier and heavier than most consumer-level DSLRs, top plate LCD shortcuts could be made less fiddly and easier to access still
Fast, sharp and well built, if you can afford the outlay the 70D should last you a good few years of service
Excellent enthusiast DSLR, Dual Pixel AF for movies a major improvement, High-quality stills, great videos
No AF Assist lamp on body, Wi-Fi implementation needs help, Bulky, but that comes with the territory
The Canon EOS 70D is a first-rate 20.2MP DSLR and gives one of our favorites, the Nikon D7100, a very good run for the money. We really like the operability and still quality of both. However, the Canon really trumps Nikon on the video front. Canon's ne...
Swift and accurate auto focus, semi professional body construction with chunky handgrip and top plate LCD, angle adjustable rear screen with touch panel operation, built-in Wi-Fi connectivity
Heavier than most consumer DSLRs, particularly with kit zoom attached, expensive for an APS-C DSLR, awkward to tweak settings using small top plate buttons encircling the smallest LCD
