It seems such a long time since this camera's predecessor - Canon EOS 60D - was launched. And it was. About this time, three years ago and lots has happened in the interval. MILCs are here for one thing but there are still plenty of DSLR-coholics craving for an optical view of the world.

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
