The editors didn't like
The kit lens
Good as it is
Does display marked distortion at both the wide and telephoto extremes. This is characteristic of inexpensive lenses with a long zoom range and we would opt for the 18–55mm lens in the kit
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
The represents a significant upgrade of the capabilities of the EOS 60D. The new sensor with each pixel capable of acting as a phase sensitive AF detector makes AF during video (and in live-view mode) much faster. When coupled with an STM lens the trackin...

Abstract: Earlier in the year I compared the EOS 5D Mark III and 6D, Canon's least expensive full-frame cameras. Today I'm going to look at two other models that cause confusion: the Canon EOS 70D vs Canon 700D Rebel T5i.Note: North America readers will know the EO...
Fastest autofocus in Live View of any camera that we've seen or tested when it comes to its exemplary tracking abilities. Otherwise, it's only a bit slower than Sony, Fairly nice build for the customer base with a nice feel in the hand, WiFi connectivity
We feel that Canon purposely crippled the sensor. It's worse than the 7D's and 5D Mk II's. Yes, the Mk II, Really wish that the back dial was beefier, The implementation of direct autofocus point selection vs having to press a button first would've made
Canon's 70D is surely capable of taking some great photos, but we feel that the camera could have been even better. It is a minor upgrade from the 60D with the exception of the autofocusing, wifi addition, and the menu system. What's holding us back from...
