My various Canon EOS DSLR bodies see a lot of use under various conditions, mostly sports, but last week was the first time I was really glad I always put a tempered glass protector on the rear LCD of new bodies as soon as I get them. My daughter had a day off from school and we decided to take advantage of the nice Fall weather and go hunting for geodes in a stream near Keokuk Iowa. I brought my 5DS R along and near the end of the day, a piece of a geode I had just picked up fell off taking the worst possible path and it bounced off the back of the display screen. It cracked the protector but the display underneath was pristine and today I replaced the protector.

I put them on primarily so I could use whatever was handy in the field to wipe moisture/debris off the screen which is also the primary reason all of my smaller lenses have front mount clear "filters" which are of high quality but are still "consumable/disposable" from my point of view compared to the front lens element.

Up until a week ago, I loved this camera. Then, the motherboard fried with no warning. Depite this being a known defect — in Brazil, for example, Canon is repairing this for free — Canon wants to charge me more than $400 for the repair, with no assurance it won’t fail again. I’m told the likely culprit is overheating while shooting video, one of the main selling points of this camera. I’ve had this camera for less than two years. I can understand there being a defect, these are complicated devices. But I do not understand Canon’s failure to stand behind its product. It has really shaken my confidence in a company I previously held in high regard.

The Canon 70D is a wonderful, capable digital SLR camera, and at a reasonable price since I intend on buying the body only; I have lens that fit Canon mounts. However, I wonder if Canon is ever going to make a digital camera that is weather and dust-proof such the Pentax K-70. Myself I have a Canon Rebel XS that I bought in 2009, and it serves me well. However, I am thinking of getting another Canon camera, but I am not yet certain of the 70D; if there are now digital cameras such as the new Pentax K-70. What outdoor photographers need is photo equipment that can withstand the elements of weather; to a reasonable, practical degree.

No, it"s a crop sensor with Canon"s 1.6x crop factor, like all other Canon Prosumer DSLRs with two-digit numbers. The 7D and 7D Mark II also use crop sensors, but with more professional features. Succeeded by the recently released EOS 80D.

I have always used a Sony VX1000 for video (rebuild twice) and am still shooting slides (with an F-1n) for some photos and have been using a pocket Canon S90 (handy and always with me) and ready to add a 70D for both video and still digital frames.

It appears there are adapters to use F series Canon lenses on the 70D manually. I was a professional and have an arsenal of L series Canon lenses I would also like to use, but will be buying the STM lenses for the 70D. Any advice much appreciated as this is basically a new realm of untested waters for me.

The touchscreen complements the controls, but there"s nothing it does that you can"t do with the buttons and dials. I personally like it very much, but if you don"t, you can disable it.

But yes, there are adapters to mount old Canon FD, or even Nikon manual lenses over to the Canon mount, as long as you"re fine with manual focusing. If you have existing L lenses, you should have no problems using them on the 70D, though for video work I imagine you"d want to manual focus.

I believe you have an arsenal of Canon L series lenses because at that time the glass was the most important part of photography. It"s still the most important part but now in conjunction with the sensor. In this evolution of sensors, you must consider the what and how of your photography and then decide the sensor. You"ve already decided on the glass (L). Because you are considering the use of adapters you"re not limited to Canon cameras. You have so many things to consider; should you sell your arsenal and get into medium format digital. I was taught to buy the best glass I could afford and then get any POS camera with the money I had left.

I"ve read through the reviews here and elsewhere and I"m more taken by the 70d than 7D Mk II, especially considering the price difference. I picked up a Canon D400 on ebay a while back and it"s been a nice, if limited entry experience into DSLR photography. I like my Canon, yes I"m sure that they"re a little behind Nikon in terms of absolute image quality at this level of camera but my biggest gripe with my current camera isn"t the photos I"ve achieved with it but the poor viewfinder. I really want to be able to manually focus at times and the poor viewfinder on the 400D, plus the total lack of any form of live view really makes manual shooting a nightmare. The D400 is now so long in the tooth but I have bought some nice Canon IS lenses and the 50mm f/1.8 II which I just love for portraits and I really don"t want to change to a different system now. Would you say that this is the best value for money Canon DSLR for an upgrade?

If you are not really into sports / wildlife and just wanted an all around camera, Between the 2 The 70D would be the better choice. The Touchscreen really helps in portraits as you can preview if things are in focus quickly. Navigating / Previewing the images also is a breeze. Not to mention the flippy screen being useful for self portraits / videos should you ever consider doing one. And not to mention being a decent video camera.

Go for the 70D. Goes well for fast shooting (@7fps; good for sports and wildlife), manual lenses (because of Live View magnification), high native ISO, responsive Touchscreen, and Dual Pixel AF, nice video capability (especially when using STM lenses), but do invest on EF lenses if ever you want to upgrade to full frame later on.

With a Boya SM80 stereo mic mounted on the camera and being fed into the mic socket, you have the headphone output on the Boya mic and they give you an earbud to listen with. It has a flexible mount and the audio quality is excellent. High pass filter, 10db pad and level control combined with 70D manual audio control gives very good results. The Boya mike is less than £30 :o)

Replaced my trusty Nikon D90 for the Canon D70. What a fantastic choice to make. Firstly I stuck a 70-200 L series Lens on & did some outdoor portrait. The colours were simply beautifully such creamy bokah such naturally beautiful shots all way found.

Why did I choose the Canon D70? Well I read up as much as I could on the D70 & at that time the D7100 & the Canon felt more of a grown up camera, the WiFi is just fantastic. I have had the pull out screens & they are great for low or high shooting.

Just to add to my previous post, whilst I"ll stick with the Sony a6000 for now, I think the 70D looks like a camera I"d be happy to go for if i needed another camera. I do astro photography and I"m sure that Canon is still the leader in that field of use (within dSLR cameras...), however as I"m just waiting for a Moravian Instruments G2-8300 astro imaging CCD camera that will serve me better than any dSLR, therefore there is no other real advantage I can see, especially if I consider the weight and size of the 70D camera and the lenses that I would need to come with it...

I"ve been using a sony a6000 for half a year. I cannot agree with Tuan. The Sony a6000 is a sturdy piece of equipment, comfortable to hold and it realy does everything you throw at it, except touchscreen & GPS. I used to have a Canon 40D then a 7D, but the weight & size really bothered me. With the sony I can have both the wide & tele lenses with me in my pocket. It also amazed me when it could autofocus on some bright stars at night, and I did that from inside the house from my samsung S5 phone, whilst the camera was setup in the garden. I guess something similar could be achieved with the 70D.

Regarding image quality, I think Canon can produce cleaner, smoother images at the same ISO. If I was a professional photographer, I would probably stick with Canon, but as I"m not and mostly I would use the images on a computer screen, those 24MP images look just as good as any Canon image would... Once again, my experience is based on the latest 7D, not 70D...

Sony A6000 + good lens: for travel. However, I feel most of the body made from plastic and I could easily break it to pieces. When holding the 70D, you feel like holding a hi-tech device while the A6000 brings to you "PnS-like" feeling!

Love the touch screen on 70D. And you know what: I saw a guy at camera store who tried to touch the A6000 when navigating the menu all the time even he knew that it can not be!

I"ve decided to upgrade from EOS 1000D to 70D but reading all the reviews and everything is changing my mind. could you suggest me something(a new camera with 70D price range or if you think there is no problem with the camera)? I"d appreciate it.

I personally would suggest you to go with Canon EOS 70D. It is best in the business. Having seeked expert advice before buying my first DSLR, I am happy that I could get the same opinion from all of them. Yes, Canon EOS 70D is the best option before you if you are interested in PRO PHOTOGRAPHY. (prefer a 18-135 mm STM lens).

Hey there! I need your guys advice. My Sony NEX-7 with a 18-200 got just stolen. I"m a travel photographer, means most of my pics cover landscapes, people, wildlife and sometimes sports. My preferences lay on a single lense with a big range, for that I was thinking about the Tamron 16-300 in combination with the here discussed EOS 70D. Due to the fact of being in Costa Rica, my chances to buy the lense are pretty small. Any alternatives that are more comon? Thanks a lot in advance.

Good afternoon a bit of help please I"m having issues with the 70D autofocus and have read elsewhere this is/was a issue with the first batch of Camera"s has anyone else found this problem of what is generally an excellent user friendly camera

I am planning to buy Canon 70D, with Canon EF-S 18-200 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. My intention behind buying this lens is just to make sure that I need not carry multiple lenses, and this should help me learn DSLR techniques. Please advise if this is a good combination.

I have EOS70D + Sigma 18-35 1.8 lens and this combination has been difficult to focus right by using OVF. The reason is maybe fast lens & Focus Schift.

I recently purchased the sigma 18-35 1.8 lens to suit my canon 70D (purchased in Dec 2013), and found that the same issues as everyone else is reporting. I took my camera to the local camera store and tried it with a brand new out the box 70D (yesterday & sigma 18-35 1.8 lens) we did the exact same testing (granted it was hand held) and experienced the same problem. I have tried resetting the camera back to default but no difference was noted.

I have a canon 70D, while taking photos a shaft of light appeared in the photo , I changed lens but it is still there. Can you tell me why this would happen?

Place this question on the Canon SLR forum and hopefully someone will give you a definitive answer ! I have some thoughs but they may cloud the correct answer !

Similar thing happened to a friends 70D. If I remember correctly it was a horizontal bar would be lighter then the rest of the picture. He ended up having to get his shutter fixed due to a detached blade.

Just a thought. How come nothing in the testing procedure is the same when you look up the "auto focus" sections of the 70D and the 7D mk II. Would be interesting to see the 70D:s tests beeing performed on the 7D II, especially since the conventional AF of the 70D seems to be surprisingly inaccutate, and inconsistent.

I can"t directly answer you question as I don"t have a 70D, but I do have a 5D MkIII and the silent shutter modes on it are significantly quieter than the regular shutter modes. And both silent and regular are much quieter than most of the Nikons I"ve heard.

This review says, "In addition to capturing video at 1920 x 1080 at 30, 25, and 24fps, the 70D can also capture a still image, or multiple still images at full resolution..." Here"s my question: if you try to take a picture while shooting a video, it pauses the video for a second (and you hear the shutter sound) in your video before the video continues on. Is there a way to create a still from a video frame after the fact so my video isn"t all goofed up?

I just sold my EOS 400D but still keep my lens kit; a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. I"m interested in these two cameras: the 70D and the old 7D What would you guys recommend? I usually do some landscape photography, portraits but in the near future I expect to learn about the timelapse technique. Video isn"t really important for me so far. I would appreciate your opinions.

Don"t listen to the Nikon fanboy. For your needs, and given the age of the 7D, I"d go for the 70D. It"s updated in virtually all respects and represents a good value.

Thank you guys for your advices I really appreciate it. I just sold one of my two lenses that I mentioned before, therefore I discarded any Canon DSLR. Now I"m between these two cameras:

Wow, just finished watching the 70D vs the 7100. I did have the 7100 at one time and sold it. Guess I should have spent more time with it. However, a friend of mine is using his 70D for video and I like how the 70D has that pull out LCD touch monitor and can chose different focus points instantly where the 7100 you have to arrow your focus box to that location. End up getting the D800E because I shoot more photos but its still a Nikon and the video is the same setup. Image quality is great though but I like how the video is setup on the canon. Looks easier to work with. Should I just get the 70D or the new 7D to do video. I don"t think the new 7D has a flip out Lcd touch screen which i think is really cool. Himm. But I shoot more photos than I do video. What do I do.

Both 70D and 7D2 has better video due to dual pixel phase detection technology. Eos 70D better with touch screen so that we can change focus during movie shooting (focus pull), but lack of headphone, whilst EOS 7D mark2 has headphone output, but lack of flip and touch screen. I guess wait for EOS 6d mk2 that has both and also full-frame?

Well, it"s kind of like buying a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. They"re comparable and either will get the job done. Both Nikon and Canon have have their followings. Look for features that you think you"ll use: wireless, gps, video autofocus... (because image quality and lens selection are pretty much the same) Right now the most interesting lenses are being made by sigma, and the only camera body that stands out as being different is the sony a7.

Do you mean the forthcoming 70D, or the original one? Just as there are other cars besides Camrys and accords, there are other worthy camera brands and I think they are worth talking about. You don"t specify what you want you want your camera for (landscapes? Sports? Children? Studio shots?) but there are other cameras that have garnered excellent response--the Fuji XT-1 or the Pentax K3, which is weather-sealed. You don"t specify that you want full-frame … but if you"re looking at the original 70D versus a Nikon D7100 I would go for the latter; if it"s the *new* 70D, pending the official review, I"ll go for that.

Other than the lens that comes in the kit, what is a good walk-around lens for the 70D? Something I will use during everyday life and during photo shoots? I have a 1yr old daughter who I also love taking candids of. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I use 70d with EF-S 17-55 IS USM, this is a natural match (good size and balance and very good IQ), especially for people photography. You can use the lens also for video since it has IS, although in quite places you can hear the USM a bit.

Would Canon like to respond to WHY there is no GPS functionality in such a quality mid-range camera? How disappointing to find that they have omitted, what should be a simple inclusion, in this camera. Makes the Map function in Lightroom 5 obsolete!!

Just wanted to point out a couple things that you might not be considering. #1 your resolution more than doubled so you"re going to see the imperfections in your lenses a lot more on the 70D. The 28-135mm is honestly a terrible lens. Pick a focal length that you like and buy a more specialized lens with a larger maximum aperture. For example the canon 50mm 1.8 costs around $100 and will blow your mind with image quality compared that terrible lens. #2 99.9% of the time when you"re having write speed issues it"s because of your memory cards. Look up the manufacturers max write speed for a card in MB/S. Then check your file sizes x frame rate and you"ll have an idea how much data you need to write per second not to fill your buffer.

Hello. I"m a teenager looking to upgrade from my samsung nx300. Would the Canon EOS 70d be a good option for a first-dslr? Or should I go with another camera/brand.

Hello lake4444, I"m not sure why "camera people" talk so much, say so little, fight so much and never answer a question. In any event, the 70D is an excellent mid-level DLSR camera. It is certainly not an entry level model and it certainly is not a professional model, so it sits nicely in the middle of the range. I beginner can take spectacular shots using it, there is a huge amount of learning you can do with this camera and anything less than a career in photography will see you never require another camera - it make take you quite awhile to learn everything it does, and many years beyond that to master the controls, but you can take excellent pictures right out of the box. This is Canon"s premiere video DSLR and you won"t find better video capabilities anywhere. Don"t let all the talk about "models" and waiting for the "next" one throw you off - there is no end to the models. When I first entered into DSLR photography, I went to buy a Rebel Ti, found a 2Ti and 3Ti was out in 1 week

There are an awful lot of things that you probably need to think about. For example, if you plan on out door, all weather use, then a sealed camera is a very good idea. Canon added the dust and moisture seals back with the 70D. You don"t want to dunk it a pond, or drag by the strap through a dune, but it won"t die in a light rain or start making grinding noises when the shutter moves on a dusty day. DSLR results have more to do with the lens than the body, so one thing that you will discover is that what ever camera you chose, the lenses will tend to increasingly tie you to that brand. So, think carefully. What kind of photography do you want to do? What kind of money do you have/can you stand to spend on it? The 70D is an excellent camera body. So are most others.

Hello, just my two cents worth. I own a 5dMarkII but wanted a cheaper alternative for distance so I bought the 70d. I was waiting on the 7D replacement but there was a special deal of no tax (plus I had a trade in). Anyway, I bought the 70d.

So tell me. How is the 7Dii sensor different? What proof do you have? The Imaging Resource comparometer reveals identical IQ between the 2 cameras. Do you really think that Canon would waste resources on a new sensor so soon after the 70D sensor was introduced. There is nothing wrong with the 70D sensor. Why come out with a new one.

I have a 5D2 and a 7D, have used both extensively and see the differences. I"ll most likely upgrade the 7D to a 7DII when it"s available, particularly for distant stuff including birds and boats, but wish it had the swivel screen. If I had too much money I"d get a 70D too...

Hi Donnie. Yes he is. I ordered a new Canon 70D the first week of May, prior to seeing this video. Once I saw the video I was concerned and decided to run my own test using my 16-35 f2.8 canon lens. I mounted the camera on a tripod and took a picture using the center focus through the viewfinder and 1 using the LCD. The results were noticeably different. In truth my understanding is that in everyday use most folks would never have an issue. I did not want to deal with the issue and decided to spend more money and get a full frame 6D, which has had the price reduced. So I was glad to be notified of the issue. Also, I rarely shoot video so the 6D ultimately was a better choice for me. You can see the difference in the two pictures I took at

The best i can gather this is indeed true. However, it may not matter to you. When I was looking for a new body I looked long and hard at the 70D and discovered this issue early on. At first i passed over this camera because of it; I didn"t want and expensive camera that had a defect out of the box.

However, the 70D seems to have everything else I want in spades, for my purposes is better than the 7D II (I have a T4i and love the articulated touch screen), and it"s in what, for me, is a reasonable price range.

Anyhow, my new 70D body just arrived at my door half an hour ago and the batteries are charging now. As perhaps you can imagine, I can"t wait to try it out.

I went from the 60d to the 70d. Almost did not purchase the 70d because of reading about this issue. When I bought the 70d I borrowed a few lenses put it through its paces and tested against my 60d. After testing I found my 70d performed better than my 60d and had no issues with fast lenses with the centerpoint autofocus. I took over 500 shots testing this camera only to find that it works perfectly.

In the case of the 70D, it offers all of the above vs the 700D and sports a new higher resolution sensor with improved AF performance in Live View and in Video.

You can also add in-camera aberration correction for 40 Canon lenses at a time (using EOS Utility) where the camera will correct for vignetting and colour fringing

Thanks! Since the eventual t6i would be coming out after the current 70D, would the t6i have less AF points or possibly not have the dual pixel tech? I am assuming since it"s coming out after the 70d they woiuld include the some of these essential features.

Essentially, imagewise in video, the 70D and 7D have the same sensor and image quality, right? So you don"t gain anything other than a negligible amount of megapixels in photos?

How do you figure that the sensors on the 7D (18MP) and 70D (20MP) are the same for video? Especially since the 70D uses dual pixel technology, which is an inherent feature of the actual sensor?

That is why the 70D is so much better at AF in Live View and Video. As such, the image quality, if considered across the duration of a video clip, is better for the 70D because more of it is in focus...

Quick question regarding the 70D. I want to purchase this but I am wondering what the eventual T6i would offer over and above the 70D. I am not sure how the "Ti" line and the xxD lines compare and if the xxD models are always better than the Ti lines? I checked the 60D vs T5i and the 60D seemed to be better. Can anyone explain these different classes of Canon cameras? Thanks in advance!

I have a Canon 40D, with sensor issues, which will cost around $250 to fix. I would also like to play around with video, even though stills are my bread and butter. Would you suggest upgrading to a 70D or what should I do?

You should also look at the 700D, which is not as fast as the 70D on AF in live view or video, and which is more compact, but which delivers great stills and has it"s own relatively good hybrid AF system for video. It also boasts articulated LCD with touchscreen.

If you dont have any Canon lenses other than the kit lens you got with your 40D, you could afford to look really wide and could even consider the Nikon D5300...

I owned this camera for a few months, then sold it. I was hoping for a higher burst rate, better time to write, and faster auto focus. Perhaps looking for the updated Canon 7D, which I now patiently wait for.

The Canon 70D (70D prices and deals) ultimately may not have delivered what everyone wanted or expected -- a significant upgrade in still image quality over its predecessor, the 60D -- but instead it ushered in a new technology so unexpected (and useful) that there"s no way we could be disappointed. For those looking for a better increase in image quality, we"d recommend the Nikon D7100 (70D vs D7100). But we love when a camera manufacturer surprises us with a treat like Canon"s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. After all, a rare, groundbreaking innovation like this doesn"t come around too often.

What"s even better is that the 70D"s full-time phase detection autofocus system for video and Live View shooting -- with PDAF at every pixel in the AF area -- more than lives up to its promise. We were thoroughly impressed by how quickly and accurately the Dual Pixel CMOS AF operated. For movies, this technology finally puts true camcorder-like performance into an HD-DSLR; it"s been a long time coming. Racking focus between near and far subjects is especially easy and smooth with the 70D"s LCD touchscreen touch-to-focus feature. And when using Live View for still shooting, the advanced autofocusing felt nearly as fast as traditional viewfinder shooting under most scenarios.

It"s not just the Canon 70D"s revolutionary AF system that makes it a video powerhouse. The camera is capable of Full 1080p HD recording at 24fps and 30fps, offers ALL-I and IPB compression modes and provides many other pro-level features. While its videos may exhibit a bit more moiré than, say, the 5D Mark III and other higher-end models, the 70D produces excellent quality movies for its class. We just wish you could shoot video remotely via the camera"s otherwise-stellar built-in Wi-Fi system.

Speaking of Wi-Fi, our reviewer had a blast setting up and using the 70D"s remote still shooting mode to capture some hummingbirds outside in the summer heat while he rested in his air-conditioned living room waiting for the right moment. Using Canon"s EOS Remote app (available for both iOS and Android smartphones), you maintain full control of exposure and focus while you"re photographing from a distance -- not something every camera"s Wi-Fi"s system can do, but they should. Combine this with the camera"s 3-inch, 270-degree articulating LCD touchscreen, and you"ve added a lot of versatility that goes a long way to help you get just the right shot.

Finally, we return to the still image quality issue. First off, let it be known that the Canon 70D still takes great pictures, just not ones that are exceedingly better than the 60D or 7D can take. Some Canon fans are understandably upset about this. The dynamic range isn"t much better either, and the 70D still trails many of its competitors in this area. It does improve a bit in resolution, moving up to a 20.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor from an 18-megapixel one, without hurting much from smaller pixel sizes. And the camera does perform better at high sensitivities than its predecessors -- and many competitors. Its processing seems to be more even-handed and less aggressive with noise reduction at those pumped-up sensitivities.

The Canon 70D may not be what fans had hoped for, but it looks to us like it has laid a new foundation for autofocusing performance with a technology that we wouldn"t be surprised to see rolled out in other Canon cameras in the near future. While it"s not necessarily geared for everybody -- especially those who demand the ultimate in image quality -- it"s still a remarkable prosumer DSLR that"s especially ideal for video enthusiasts and independent filmmakers, as well as anyone who puts high value on quick and accurate autofocus (Yes, even the conventional AF is ferociously fast!). For all these reasons, the Canon 70D earns a resounding Dave"s Pick, and its Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is among our early front-runners for our camera Technology of the Year.

Photography enthusiasts will soon have a brand-new Canon DSLR to get pumped about, especially those who like to shoot video and have it be, you know, in focus. The company has announced the EOS 70D, a replacement for the 60D model, and it’s crammed with features for the video-centric, socially connected, advanced amateur set.

This new model, with its 20.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, uses Canon’s Digic 5+ processor, and bundles all the goodies users are coming to expect in a shooter, such as updated technology, wireless sharing, full HD video, and an ISO range that hits 12800 with a high of 25600.

In addition, Canon has introduced something new: Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. This new autofocus feature stands out, especially when shooting in Live View mode, and promises smooth, accurate focus for shooting full HD (1920 x 1080p) video. The camera is specifically designed to keep moving subjects in sharp focus with an expansive phase-detection focusing system, similar to how camcorders operate.

It achieves this feat with an advanced CMOS architecture that has two photodiodes mounted on each and every pixel. These can be read independently for autofocus, or together for image capture, at maximum image quality. Thanks to this new Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Movie Servo AF mode tracks subjects as they move, as shots are recomposed, for pinpointed focus. You can also select different focus areas over 80 percent of the frame by tapping the touchscreen, even while recording.

Video shooters get a choice of frame rates, including 30, 25, or 24fps, and 60 and 50fps at 720p, as well as a range of compression options. Video Snapshot mode can also be used to record short video clips, in 2, 4, or 8-second segments. That’s in addition to continuous shooting of up to 7 frames per second. Let’s not forget about audio. The new EOS 70D gives filmmakers stereo sound via the camera’s internal mic, or the opportunity to enhance audio via the built-in external mic input.

The EOS 70D also uses Wi-Fi and NFC to share images to iOS or Android mobile devices, for posting online. Add Canon’s EOS Remote app (for iOS and Android) and you also get wireless remote control over shutter release, exposure, focusing, and other settings.

Touch capability has now arrived on the EOS 70D’s 3-inch, 1040K-dot Vari-Angle LCD display. The adjustable touchscreen is designed to facilitate better shooting and viewing from high and low angles, while an anti-reflective, smudge-resistant coating offers the clearest view.

Canon 7D has a 18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Dual Digic 4 processor. On the other hand, Canon 70D has a 20.0MP APS-C (22.5 x 15 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5+ processor.

Canon 7D and Canon 70D have almost the same sensor size so none of them has any significant advantage over other in providing control over depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.

DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon 7D and Canon 70D sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that 70D has a better overall score of 68, 2 points higher compared to 7D"s score of 66.
