Canon EOS 70D review: A fast camera, but not for pixel peepers
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.
