Canon 70D Review: DSLR Video Nirvana Comes More Into Focus

Canon has spent years making incremental improvements to its DSLR line’s video features, yet it’s been ages since we’ve seen a major step forward in functionality. While the 60D added some nice touches, its successor, the EOS 70D, makes one very specific leap towards excellence.

Canon EOS 70D DSLR announced

When it comes to DSLRs, I guess you could say that for most of the ordinary, average Joes out there, it is a straight battle between Canon and Nikon, as advertisements from both camps have certainly set up a very enticing “battle”, so to speak. Canon is back this time with a hard hitter of theirs, which would be known as the Canon EOS 70D, which we will look at in closer detail right after the jump.

The Canon EOS 70D is one DSLR that will target photo enthusiasts who want to take the next step in the right direction after moving on from their entry-level digital SLRs. It will boast of an innovative new Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, delivering instant and precise focusing of video in addition to still images, while also providing outstanding image quality and performance courtesy of its new 20.2 megapixel APS-C Canon CMOS sensor and Canon’s superb DIGIC 5+ Image Processor.

With Canon’s newly-developed Dual Pixel CMOS AF, this phase-detection autofocus (AF) technology that is located on the camera’s image sensor plane, it will allow users to capture video with the new EOS 70D while offering quality that is close to one found on a dedicated camcorder. Dual Pixel CMOS AF would make use of a revolutionary CMOS sensor, where the entire gamut of effective pixels are able to perform both still imaging and phase-detection AF simultaneously, helping you achieve dramatically improved AF performance compared to other EOS cameras when you are undergoing Live View shooting, as well as when shooting video.

The Canon EOS 70D DSLR would also come with an integrated wireless transmitter that will offer users several connectivity options so that they can share their images in a jiffy. You will of course benefit from the free EOS Remote app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store, letting you wirelessly transfer photos and videos from your camera to an iOS or Android-powered device. The Canon EOS 70D will play nice with the entire range of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, in addition to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. It is tipped for a September release this year at $1199.00 for the body alone, while those who want an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens to accompany it will have to fork out $1,349, or $1549.00 to have it come with the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens.

Canon Sends Out Invites For 21st March, Possible EOS 70D Announcement

Canon Sends Out Invites For 21st March, Possible EOS 70D AnnouncementEarlier this month there were rumors that Canon could be announcing a new DSLR by the end of the month. Some have speculated that it could be the successor to the EOS 60D, and while it remains to be seen, it looks like Canon definitely has something up their sleeves. According to Canon Rumors, Canon has started sending out invites to an event that will be held in the Czech Republic on the 21st of March. Unfortunately apart from the date, time and location, it was not revealed as to what the event could be about. However with previous rumors hinting strongly at a new DSLR announcement, that could indeed be the case. Canon Rumors however thinks the Thursday event is a little off especially since based on their past experience, Canon announcements have typically taken place on Tuesdays and Fridays, but then again it’s Canon’s event to do as they please, so who are we to argue? Either way if the EOS 70D (or whatever it will be called) is of interest to you, check back with us on the 21st of March for the details.

Canon EOS 70D Confirmed For The Future By Chief Executive

Canon EOS 70D Confirmed For The Future By Chief ExecutiveLast year we reported on a rumor that Canon could be unveiling the EOS 70D this year along with other cameras. Now the good news is that for fans of Canon’s mid-ranged DSLRs like the 50D and 60D is that it looks like the 70D is a possibility, and this was admitted by Canon’s Managing Director and Chief Executive, Masaya Maeda in an interview. When asked whether customers could look forward to a 70D camera in the future, Maeda answered in the positive, claiming that “someday in the future. Without fail.” Given that the rumor last year pegged the 70D’s release for 2013, hopefully that future will not be too far off. Unfortunately the specs of the 70D remain unknown at this point in time, but it is possible that the 70D might come with a full frame sensor instead of the APS-C found on the 60D. Maeda revealed that he does not believe that larger sensors are necessarily the way to go, such as the likes of the Sony RX100. That combined with the fact that full frame cameras like the 6D are starting to become slightly more affordable, a full frame 70D might not be completely out of the question – but what do you guys think?
