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

And certain aspects of the design -- notably single card slot
Hard-to-control multicontroller and the Wi-Fi/movie mode conflict resolution -- are annoying

Dual Pixel AF makes movie and live view modes more usable, Good heft without being too large to hold, High ISO shots are quite usable, even above ISO 6400, Excellent LCD and responsive touchscreen, Special coating minimizes fingerprint smudges from touchscreen use, Articulated LCD for shooting from odd angles made more useful by fast, precise AF, 7 fps shooting speed, Silent shutter mode, AF Mi
Dual Pixel AF does not allow tracking autofocus while shooting continuously, Relatively small viewfinder, LCD blacks out completely during continuous shooting in live view, AF illuminator integrated into flash (must have flash engaged to use it), Complicated Wi-Fi setup, Movie mode disabled when Wi-Fi is enabled, HDR mode unavailable if Raw is active (rather than disengaging Raw), Only one SD c
After aiming the EOS 60D at a more consumer audience, Canon has brought some important features back to its ninth-generation enthusiast DSLR, effectively reinstating a more affordable yet comprehensive option to a growing number of people who have tak...
The EOS Canon 70D is a well-built and capable camera that produces excellent results with plenty of detail – especially in raw files.Although you need to take care in high-contrast conditions, in many situations the 63-zone Evaluative metering system does...
Excellent image quality, Articulated touchscreen, Impressive autofocus in video
Video quality could be sharper, No headphone socket
The Canon 70D is an extremely impressive camera, and although it's now a few years old it's still a strong candidate for your cash. Canon's excellent continuous performance, articulated touchscreen, superior live view and video autofocus and integrated Wi...
