The editors liked
Image quality is excellent with brilliant resolution
Colour and dynamic range. The image stabilised lens
Although made down to a price
Performs well both mechanically and optically.
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 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

Smooth video autofocus. Articulating touch-screen LCD. Pentaprism optical viewfinder. Quick focus in most situations. 7fps continuous drive shooting. Lots of physical controls. Vertical grip add-on available. 1/250-second flash sync speed. Integrated Wi-F
Live View autofocus struggles in low light. Only one SD card slot. Lacks built-in GPS. No PC Sync socket. 1080p video is limited to 30fps. Cannot record video when Wi-Fi is enabled
The Canon EOS 70D delivers the smoothest Live View focus we've seen in a traditional D-SLR, but it can struggle to lock that focus in dim light....

An overall excellent camera, but one that fails to capture the best-in-class prize for image quality.
