Editors' note: We've updated the rating to reflect the 70D's current rank relative to cameras that have been released since it first shipped. This includes dropping the subrating for features to 7 and performance to 8.

An overall excellent camera, but one that fails to capture the best-in-class prize for image quality.

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.

The image quality doesn't overly impress for this price class; and certain aspects of the design -- notably single card slot; hard-to-control multicontroller and the Wi-Fi/movie mode conflict resolution -- are annoying.

Canon 70d allows you a very good video result but its image quality fails with the 18-135mm kit lens . so if you want to shoot video its best option ( use prime lenses for video ) if you want to shoot pictures you should upgrade your lens to the canon l series lens .

The Canon EOS 70D was an amazing release by Canon. Its update, the Canon EOS 80D, is a great camera but it feels like the company didn't do enough to make it stand out on its own with new features. Still a great camera for beginners, but are you willing to pay the extra cash to have one?

let me start with the only negative point: ISO noise kicks in far too early otherwise everything is good. colour rendition excellent and predictable (although not very saturated), and offer a solid starting point for further post processing, DPAF works good, it seems to read your mind when focusing,...

The video is pretty good. Or at least, the focusing capabilities are better than on other EOS DSLR cameras to date. When this video system gets improved and put on higher end cameras, Canon will really have something!!

The Canon 700D is a portable good camera to someone who is aspiring to be a professional photographer or videographer. 700D shoots Full HD video however only in 24frames p/s, 18.0 megapixels,the down side is the 700D has only 9 points of auto focus , and it doesn't work at all.

The EOS 70D has same yet improved features of EOS 60D and its quality and performance surpasses previous versions. The phase detection feature in AF system, fully atriculated touchscreen, and built-in Wi-Fi makes EOS 70D competitive among its rivals.

The box is not properly sealed with just a small little circular piece of plastic which expands in heat. The goods could be returned and the retailer could sell this to another customer. Canon should sort this security seal so you know you are getting a brand new camera.

My son shot a feature length documentary with this camera and it came out fantastic. This is a great starter or "state 2" set for an up-and-coming film maker.

If I had to pick a do-everything-well APS-C format camera that does not cost a fortune, the Canon EOS 70D would be my recommendation. This camera has it all - great image quality with high resolution, a great AF system, a moderately large viewfinder, a fast/responsive shutter release combined with a...
