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
Excellent image quality
Plenty of control over images
Responsive
Articulated touchscreen
WiFi built in for remote control
19AF points all crosstype
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

Dual Pixel autofocus closes the live view gap between DSLR and CSC cameras - it's very impressive, proven 19-point AF system works well in most lighting conditions, 7fps burst at full resolution with decent buffer, great image quality, responsive touchscr
Not 100% FoV viewfinder, high ISO noise reduction a little rough, autofocus can unwontedly drift between subjects during movie capture, no headphone jack for audio monitoring, some overexposure, filters unavailable in raw + JPEG shooting, single SD, Wi-Fi
The 70D represents the DSLR in the post-mirror age. If you're looking for an all-rounder when it comes to both still images and movie capture then there's no other pure DSLR out there that can offer such a varied and successful feature set. It's th...

Great touchscreen performance, Impressive 19-point AF system, Dual-pixel sensor AF delivers fantastic Live-view AF performance, Solid build
Slight issues with AWB performance, Limited creative filter implementation
The Canon EOS 70D is a real step forward in the world of DSLR photography, and if you shoot a lot of video, or find yourself using live view image capture with any regularity, it's a great choice. But It's not without its faults, with a few bugs in the Cr...
Excellent image quality, Plenty of control over images, Responsive, articulated touchscreen, Wi-Fi built in for remote control, 19-AF points all cross-type
Creative Filters JPEG only, HDR mode JPEG only, Creative Filters live view only, Viewfinder level can be hard to see, Metering problems in high contrast
Canon has produced a very well rounded camera for enthusiast photographers. It has all the specifications that we expect, along with a few modern niceties in a body that feels well made and comfortable in the hand...
Abstract: This is probably the last gadget review we do this year and what a rocking time we had with this camera. We got our hands on the Canon 70D to run it through our test bench. This is a no-nonsense DSLR from Canon, built to perform in almost any type of ligh...
Due to sheer lack of space, it is impossible to write about everything that we tried out on the EOS 70D. New features like Wi-Fi were a bit of a ‘hit or miss' whereas the dual-pixel and fast speed of operation impressed overall. It is not just a bump over...
Impressive image quality, Super continuous AF for movies, Builtin WiFi, 19AF pounts, Responsive touchscreen
Single SD card slot, No builtin GPS, Unable to record videos when WiFi
For photographers and Canon fans who have been waiting for a successor to the well-loved EOS 60D, the EOS 70D is definitely a worthy one as it retains much of what was loved in its predecessor but has new and improved features such as the Dual Pixel CMOS...

Excellent new autofocus system, Superb image quality, Handy Wi-Fi and touchscreen
Bigger than a mirrorless cam, Expensive
The 70D is Canon's best DSLR for ages. While its recent entry-level models have been near flawless in their own right, they've not really offered anything that might make compact system camera users sit up and take notice. But the 70D does exactly that. D...
