Image quality is excellent with brilliant resolution, colour and dynamic range. The image stabilised lens, although made down to a price, performs well both mechanically and optically.
The kit lens, good as it is, does display marked distortion at both the wide and telephoto extremes. This is characteristic of inexpensive lenses with a long zoom range and we would opt for the 18–55mm lens in the kit

While the still picture quality we obtained with the supplied 18-135mm lens appeared quite good superficially and the camera was able to handle most subjects, we were a little disappointed in the Imatest results we obtained. (We believe this is largely th...

The Canon EOS 70D's new sensor delivers excellent autofocus performance and the camera itself is quite fast. Its design is reasonably streamlined and the feature set appropriately tailored to the target market as well

An overall excellent camera, but one that fails to capture the best-in-class prize for image quality....
Although it's too early to make a firm pronouncement before we receive a review camera, we feel the EOS 70D will be of interest to many photographers who have been awaiting an update to the EOS 60D. The dual pixel technology is of particular interest and ...
Impressive image quality, Super continuous AF for movies, Builtin WiFi, 19AF pounts, Responsive touchscreen
Single SD card slot, No builtin GPS, Unable to record videos when WiFi
For photographers and Canon fans who have been waiting for a successor to the well-loved EOS 60D, the EOS 70D is definitely a worthy one as it retains much of what was loved in its predecessor but has new and improved features such as the Dual Pixel CMOS...

Excellent new autofocus system, Superb image quality, Handy Wi-Fi and touchscreen
Bigger than a mirrorless cam, Expensive
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 that. D...
