Amazing camera
As a first time buyer of an SLR camera I did considerable research prior to buying the EOS 70D. A local retailer recommended buying a starter model and upgrading later. I decided just to buy a more advanced one and just learn as I go. The pictures are excellent even using the auto mode! As with any new equipment there is a learning curve but the effort is worth it when you see the great results this camera has to offer. Don't be intimidated to jump into a more advanced camera, just learn as y...

Great camera to use to feed your passion
Getting into photography was the best decision I have made. I am happy that I get to start with the 70D to learn the ins and outs of what it takes to take good shots. 70D so far has made it easier for me to learn the basics while switching on and off to manual and auto to really understand the shots you can get. Still have lots to learn just wish Canon had classes here in DC.
The Canon 70D introduces a handful of key new features that promise improved video quality, much faster and more decisive autofocus, built-in Wi-Fi, and higher resolution. Let's take a closer look at the Canon EOS 70D
The big technology leap for the Canon EOS 70D is its sensor-based autofocus. Called Dual Pixel CMOS AF, this technology was made possible by reworking the design of the sensor. Instead of offering one photodiode per pixel, the 70D's sensor has assigned two photodiodes per pixel. This allows the camera to simultaneously capture light and perform phase-difference detection autofocus. What this means to the average user is that the camera should be able to focus faster and more accurately, and for full autofocus to operate smoothly and accurately while shooting videos.
A second big new technology (for Canon's APS sensor lineup) is the addition of built-in wireless technology. The camera's exposure settings, such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO, focus, and shutter can be operated wirelessly using an iOS or Android smartphone with the free Canon EOS Remote app. Users can shoot remotely from a distance, even in Live View mode and remotely review images stored on the EOS 70D from their smart phone or tablet.
Still images can be transferred between two wireless-enabled Canon cameras over a Local Area Network (LAN) and can be uploaded via Canon iMage Gateway and printed directly from a wireless PictBridge printer without the need for a PC.
The EOS 70D camera's 20.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the highest-resolution APS-C sensor to date, records 5472 x 3648 pixels and offers 14-bit signal processing for what Canon claims is improved tonal gradation. Canon says the new 5+ Image Processor will yield improved data processing speeds, greater noise reduction, and real-time compensation for chromatic aberration.
Canon claims the 70D will record up to 16,384 colors per channel thanks to its 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion, and the camera has a wide ISO range of 100-12800, expandable to 25,600 in H mode. The company claims improved noise reduction and better performance in low-light shooting.
HD Video Improvements
Canon's claim for the 70D is that its HD video performance rivals that of camcorders. The camera offers All-I and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording without interruption. It offers the option of time coding during recording only (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run), which is useful for multi-camera shoots.
There's a built-in stereo mic, 64 adjustable sound recording levels, and the camera has a 3.5mm mic jack. The camera can also record "Video Snapshots"-2,4, or 8-second video clips that can be combined into a highlights album without the need for editing.
Viewfinder and LCD
The Canon EOS 70D features a high resolution (over 1 million dots) flip-out touch screen which lets users control the camera for stills and video from the screen. The eye-level viewfinder is an optical finder with a superimposed LCD display that superimposes focus points, grid lines and other compositional tools as well as exposure information over the optical image-a feature that can be turned on or off.
Special effects and modes
The Canon EOS 70D offers a wide range of shooting modes and effects, including High Dynamic Range covering a range of plus and minus 3 stops, multiple exposure mode up to 9 images in RAW and JPEG, a handheld night scene mode that combines four shots at fast shutter speed to reduce camera shake, HDR backlight mode, and seven creative filters: Grainy Black and White, Soft Focus, Fisheye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature Effect, Art Bold Effect and Water Painting Effect. Each of these effects can be applied at three levels of opacity.
Other effects include multi-shot noise reduction: the camera captures four images in quick succession, merges and aligns them to reduce noise. A Lens aberration correction tool corrects for vignetting and color fringing. The camera has an on-board help mode called Feature Guide, which briefly describes each mode. It is compatible with the optional Canon GP-E2 GPS receiver.
Canon 70D Features
- Shoot Video Like a Camcorder: Dual Pixel CMOS AF delivers autofocus performance that is similar to that of a camcorder - but on a DSLR camera! Focus is precise, transitions are smooth and natural and subjects in motion are tracked consistently over a large area of the frame
- Realize the Freedom of Live View: Live View shooting, powered by Dual Pixel CMOS AF, is phenomenally accurate and faster than ever. With such advanced autofocus capabilities available when using the Vari-angle monitor, Live View is now a capable complement to traditional viewfinder shooting
- Compatible with 103: 103 Canon EF lenses are able to fully realize the benefits of Dual Pixel CMOS AF. Compatible lenses greatly expand creative and compositional possibilities so users can enjoy a wide range of endeavors made possible through various lenses whether shooting still images or video
- The Convenience of Built-in Wireless Technology: Wireless technology makes it easy to share your photos and video with friends and family. It also enables you to shoot remotely and control camera settings, allowing even more creative and compositional freedom
- True HD Performance in Your Hands: The EOS 70D easily captures stunning HD video, in a number of recording sizes and frame rates, all with lifelike detail and accurate, brilliant color. And new Dual Pixel CMOS AF helps ensure your subjects are continually in pristine focus
- Amazing Capture and Processing Power: At 20.2 Megapixels, the CMOS sensor on the EOS 70D helps ensure excellent tonal gradation and phenomenal image quality. A powerful DIGIC 5+ Image Processor improves speed, reduces noise and enables an expanded ISO range of ISO 100-12800
- Versatile, Sharp and Clear, with Tactile Controls: The Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II on the EOS 70D displays fine detail, features capacitive touch technology and enables comfortable shooting from a variety of angles and vantage points not possible with the viewfinder
