What kind of processing does the Canon 70D have?
Image processing is via the DIGIC 5+ processor first seen in the EOS 5D Mark III. In terms of control layout the EOS 70D is a logical evolution of the EOS 60D, adopting many of Canon’s intervening updates and improvements.
How is the EOS 70D in terms of control layout?
In terms of control layout the EOS 70D is a logical evolution of the EOS 60D, adopting many of Canon’s intervening updates and improvements. So it offers a full set of external controls to operate most key functions, and Canon’s well-designed Quick Control screen to cover pretty much everything else.
What’s the difference between the Canon EOS 60D and EOS 70D?
The EOS 70D directly replaces the EOS 60D in Canon’s range, and is very similar in terms of size and design. It’s a bit smaller though, and has a sensibly-updated control layout. Here we take a more-detailed look at the two cameras side-by-side. From the front the EOS 70D looks almost identical to the 60D.
How much does the EOS 70D cost?
The EOS 70D will be sold body-only for £1079 / $1199 / €1099, as a kit with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM for £1199.99 / $1340 / €1249, or with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens for £1399.99 $1549 / €1499. The BG-E14 battery grip will cost £229.99 / $270 / €215.
Should I buy a 70D or a 40D for video?
70D, no doubt about that…. Also, unless you are already invested in Canon lenses, for video you should look at mirrorless options, especially the Olympus and Panasonic options. I have a Canon 40D, with sensor issues, which will cost around $250 to fix.
Will 70D tests work on the 7D II?
Would be interesting to see the 70D:s tests beeing performed on the 7D II, especially since the conventional AF of the 70D seems to be surprisingly inaccutate, and inconsistent. All standard phase detect systems show this same inaccuracy/inconsistency you lament.
