Our 70D review unit was paired with a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM zoom lens - IS indicates the lens is stabilized and STM refers to a stepping motor lens which Canon advertises as producing much less motor noise during video capture. Here's a look...

The introduction of the Canon 70D doesn't mark a dramatic upturn in still image capture performance over its predecessor, the 60D. Probably the most significant changes in this regard are the inclusion of a 7 fps continuous shooting rate and the touchscr...

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary about the Canon EOS 70D digital SLR, the successor to the consumer-level 60D. Even the 70D's specs don't jump out at you and scream this camera is something special: at least not until you g...

While the new dual pixel video AF system sounds promising, for stills photography the sensor in the Canon EOS 70D will perform very similarly to that the earlier EOS 60D (which was introduced in late 2010). That is slightly disappointing but there has bee...

Canon's 70D is surely capable of taking some great photos, but we feel that the camera could have been even better. It is a minor upgrade from the 60D with the exception of the autofocusing, wifi addition, and the menu system. What's holding us back from...
