The Canon EOS 70D is a digital single-lens reflex camera from Canon. The EOS 70D was announced on July 2, 2013, to replace the EOS 60D,[2] and was first available in late August 2013.[3] The camera is available bundled with either the EF-S 18–55mm IS STM, EF-S 18–135mm IS STM lens, EF-S 18-200mm IS or as a body only.[1]
The Canon EOS 70D is the launch platform for Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, which is expected to provide great improvement in focusing speed while in Live View, both for stills and video.[4] At large apertures such as f/1.8, the 70D's Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus provides a significant improvement in focus accuracy and consistency over conventional autofocus.[5]
Specification
Compared to the EOS 60D the following changes are made:[6][7]
- 20.2 MP CMOS Sensor (18.1 MP CMOS on 60D)
- DIGIC 5+ (DIGIC 4 on 60D)
- 19pt AF System, all cross-type (9 points, all cross-type on 60D)
- 98% viewfinder coverage, 0.95x magnification (96% coverage with same magnification for 60D)
- 7 frames per second continuous shooting (5.3 for 60D)
- Built-in Wi-Fi (not on 60D)
- 3″ Vari-Angle Touch Screen LCD (no touchscreen on 60D)
- ISO 12,800 maximum (25,600 expanded) – compare to 6,400 (12,800 expanded) on 60D
- Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus (only standard contrast-detection in live view on 60D)
- Allows the use of high precision phase-detection autofocus in live view, functional across 80% of the frame down to 0EV and f/11
- Full HD EOS Movies
- Digital Zoom in movie mode—offers a full HD crop from the center of the sensor for an approximate 3x zoom with no loss of image quality, plus a digitally interpolated 10x zoom (not available on 60D, or any other Canon interchangeable-lens camera except the EOS 600D/Rebel T3i)[8]
- AF microadjustment (present episodically in previous editions of the XXD, not on the 40D, on the 50D, then removed on the 60D)
- Unlike other entries in the XXD series, the 70D allows microadjustment at both focal length extremes of the same zoom lens. This feature was introduced in the EOS-1D X, and is also found on the EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 6D.
- HDR (not available in-camera on 60D)
- Multi exposure Mode (not available on 60D)
- Exposure bracketing of up to 7 frames (3 for 60D)
- One SD/SDHC/SDXC slot, fully exploiting UHS-I bus (same as 60D, except UHS-I is not supported)
- LP-E6 Battery (same as 60D)
- Viewfinder level indicator — In a first for Canon DSLRs, the indicator remains active in autofocus mode until the shutter is released. (In other Canon bodies with this feature, the indicator remains fully active only in manual focus mode; if in autofocus mode, the indicator disappears from view once the shutter button is half-pressed for autofocus.)[9]
