Canon EOS 70D Camera: Full Canon 70D Review Video SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/T4Pu6p The Canon EOS 70D is the most anticipated DSLR of the year, and is the latest model in Canon's double-digit DSLR range. Since the 6.3MP EOS 10D back in 2003, Canon's double-digit EOS DSLRs have been a firm favourite amongst enthusiast photographers. The EOS 60D currently bridges the gap between the EOS 700D and 7D in the Canon line-up and offers plenty of features that provides photographers with a natural upgrade option from their entry-level triple-digit EOS camera. The arrival of the EOS 70D shakes things up a little, offering a specification that in many ways puts its highly regarded but ageing sibling the 7D in the shade, but at a more attractive price point. Is this the perfect DSLR for photographers looking to expand their hobby even further? Canon EOS 70D Review - Features Since the arrival of the EOS 7D back in late 2009, every Canon DSLR with an APS-C sensor has used an iteration of that 18MP sensor and it's been a very solid performer. It's all change for the EOS 70D though, with a completely new 20.2MP Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor at the heart of the camera and the headline feature of the 70D. As the name suggests, this is more than a simple bump up in resolution to compete with ever higher-resolving rivals, with Canon's engineers developing some very clever technology that promises to deliver a vastly improved AF performance in both live view and movie recording. This is an area where traditional DSLRs have struggled to perform, with focus speeds often quite slow and hesitant when acquiring focus. This is due to a DSLR's inherent design characteristics that sees a slower contrast-detect method of AF acquirement used during live view and video capture, as opposed to the snappier phase-detect AF system used when the camera's raised to the eye and the mirror is lowered. This contrasts sharply with most system cameras that that have a noticeable edge over their DSLR counterparts during live view focusing because despite relying solely on contrast-detect AF acquisition (with the odd exception), system cameras benefit from being designed specifically to use the sensor to provide AF information. Paired with lenses that have been optimized for this method of focusing, this is why system cameras in general focus a lot faster during live view shooting than a DSLR does.
