Canon EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

There's so much to love about this camera that deciding where to start is a challenge. My absolute favorite feature on this camera is that you can easily attach your smart phone to it. Via wifi one can control the shutter or transfer pictures wirelessly. You can see exactly what the camera sees from your phone's screen! This is a great feature because you don't have to buy a dedicated shutter release. Canon was super smart about how they implemented this wireless connectivity. The camera itself creates an access point that your device can attach to. Once you've connected your phone to the camera's hotspot you just launch the Canon app. You can even change the shutter speed and aperture on the camera from your phone. The screen on this camera is AWESOME! It can pivot and turn allowing you to take pictures without being forced to look through the eye hole. The screen is vivid and colorful. Oh, and by the way, the screen is touch controlled. At first I kind of laughed at this feature, like "ha, who would ever use that?" I can't tell you how awesome the touch screen is, it's sensitive and accurate and a complete pleasure to work with. What's better is that almost every control you might ever need to adjust while shooting is accessible through the screen, meaning you don't have to fumble around with buttons, knobs or navigate menus to adjust your shot settings. The 70D has a reasonable HDR shooting mode, which is a function I always want on my cameras. Some of the Sony cameras have pretty awesome HDR, taking up to 7 pictures to combine together. The 70D can take 3 pictures at different exposures and combine them together, which in many cases is adequate. Of course the picture quality is astounding on Canon's 70D. Right out of the box I took 3 pictures of friends in my house that just blew me away. I knew after 10 minutes of shooting with this device that I made the right purchase. I've owned the Canon 20D and 50D in the past. One thing that always drove me crazy was that the battery meter. The meter previously had four indications, Full, Medium, Low and flashing (very low). On my previous cameras the battery meter would show full, then be at low, skipping the midrange all together. The Canon 70D's battery meter is far more accurate, meaning you aren't surprised by a dead battery all of a sudden. While we're at it, the battery life is superb on the 70D. I never really cared much about shooting video with my cameras before. The 70Ds video shooting is SO incredibly good that I am now looking for opportunities to record things! Last night I recorded my friend's harp recital. I was standing in the doorway across the room and just using the built in microphone. The sound was good (though one can purchase a wireless microphone for better sound), and the video quality was out of this world. The only real complaint I have with this camera is that it seems challenged by scenes with highly differing contrasts. The first evening after receiving the 70D I went for walk a little bit before sunset. I was taking pictures of brick buildings with the sky above them. The brick looked overly dark and lacked detail. I had several other similar experiences shooting with bright skies. The pictures were so concerning I called Canon tech support (which was excellent by the way). They looked at my raw images and said the camera was fine. After using the 70D for some time now I've learned to compensate by setting the ISO to auto or adjusting the metering mode. Most DSLRs I've owned have had their own "personality." Learning the nuances of these cameras takes a little time. All in all, this is by far the best camera I've ever owned. I can't recommend it enough!

I have this since April but used it patiently before writing a review. Read the reviews online: amazon, dpreview etc. The only problem I came across while researching was the autofocus with the center focus point in combination with f 2.8 lenses or faster missing. Haven't had any issues so far.The microfocus adjustment works well. Used it to set my 28mm f1.8 which is always spot on now. I use this with the 70-200 L IS USM first generation (no microfocus adjustment) and it misses probably 5-10% of shots depending on the available light. My 50mm 1.4 is the most problematic but always was. Still get 80% of shots in focus. I also have the 15-85mm IS USM and focus is spot on no calibration needed. Some people didn't think this was an upgrade in image quality, based on some reviews. I shoot in either manual or aperture mode so as for the rest of modes i'm not sure but the image quality is better than my t3i. Low light is better up to ISO 1600.I only use ISO 2000 if necessary. Video image quality is good, lenses make the difference. Also pairs well with the canon 600ex-rt. Autofocus is fast and accurate. If you're having problems, understand how the focusing works before making comments. Different from the system in the rebel series. All the drive modes in the camera work well. Tracks flying birds, running dogs and children easily and accurately. Live view focus is something i actually use now, fast and accurate. With my manual focusing carl zeiss 50mm 1.7 the live view manual focusing is easy also, magnify your subject and adjust accordingly. I am not a pro, more advanced user and I think If I want a better all round camera than this I'd buy a canon 5d mk iii. The 6D lacks the focusing and frame rate for me. No regrets about selling my T3i.

With the cost of around $1,000 this is not an entry level SLR but is well worth it if you are an anvanced hobbyiest or a simiprofessional. I consider myself in that field. I use the camera for work and play on an almost daily basis. I just upgraded from a Canon Rebel to the Canon 70D. What an improvement. I went from an 8meg 15 year old camera to the new 70D with 20+meg. Wow! While this is a new high tech camera, if you have ever used a canon camera, the controls will be very familure. The basic shooting functions are the same. The advanced functions take a little getting used to and some learning. The Wifi function is a nice feature but I find that I don't use it hardly ever. As for picture quality, it is a huge improvement over my old Canon. The focusing is very sharp. Be careful though because this camera will allow you to take pictures even though the shot is not in focus. I guess the camara figures that if you are hitting the shutter button then you must know best. Ergonomically it is very solid and feels like you are holding something. The only issue that I have found is that with my 18mm-200mm zoom, the camera gets heavy after a full day of shooting. I find myself taking it off my neck and holding it in my hand a lot.

Escolhi esta câmara depois de analisar várias avaliações e comentários de especialistas e fotógrafos. É uma ótima relação preço qualidade.

Excellent camera, expedite service. It was time for me to upgrade my camera and I think I made an excellent choice. Although I have to learn the positions of the buttons I've taken very good photos and pictures. I'm still a novice but I had enough glass to buy the body only.

la pedi a las 6 pm y me llego el otro día a las 8 am, después de mucho consultar y buscar aquí encontre el mejor precio La cámara es excelente, el sensor que incorpora baja mucho el ruido aún con ISO grandes, la definción es increible, y el sistema Wi-Fi es bueno ... mas adelante apliare mi reseña Lo único negativo (que es ajeno a Amazon) es el sistema de canon CPS y ZoomIn que es lo que sigue de pesimo.

Esta cámara me encanta, es muy versátil y con funciones avanzadas. Su manejo es muy comodo. La recomiendo plenamente. He logrado fotos muy interesantes que con mi antigua cámara lo era posible.

Exactly as advertised, prompt delivery, happy customer!!
