Hi vlab - the photos you took with your lens were they good quality lens quiet and focus quick. Photos of sights and family. You can use the lens also for video since it has IS, although in quite places you can hear the USM a bit. Get the 50mm f1. 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!! Upgraded from d and probably expecting too much of that?
Because , after using it for a couple of months, I have more than one problem with this camera: - some lenses I have give very poor results, the f3.
I also found out that: - the bulk lens that came with the d performs well and shows the potential of the 70d - tested the Canon bulk lens of a friend, clearly better results than the price is about the same. Just wanted to point out a couple things that you might not be considering. The mm 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. 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. I'm a teenager looking to upgrade from my samsung nx Would the Canon EOS 70d be a good option for a first-dslr? Hello lake, I'm not sure why "camera people" talk so much, say so little, fight so much and never answer a question.
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.
Don't let all the talk about "models" and waiting for the "next" one throw you off - there is no end to the models. Any brand you buy will suit you fine because they are all good. Do your research and see which model camera suits your needs best. It's not the brand but the model within the brand. 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? 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. You can buy ultra wide lenses to counter the crop factor with FF lenses like the The Tokina is a great piece of glass for Crop cameras. I have owned crops and FF cameras and I struggle to find a major difference between the quality of the images when a good lens is attached and the photo is taken properly.
I will say the high ISO noise of crops isn't as good as FF, but the difference isn't that noticeable in most situations. The 7Dii would have the same amount of high iso noise because it uses the same sensor.
If you hate noise that much either. The 7DII does not use the same sensor as the 70D. Just because it is 20MP doesn't mean its the same. 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. Scorehound : where did you get that info from, pure guessing? The flip out screen is also great for close to ground and macro work. Exaggerated superlatives are a common problem on these forums.
If you had two cars and one had a top speed of mph and another mph they would say the slightly faster car is way faster or far faster etc. It's a hold over from childhood. 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 Is this video telling the truth? 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 f2. 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. Well, this yes and no. He complains that microadjustment "should always work". In my experience, it varies a lot with focal distance. And to focus on a thing on the same plane, well, that was the kind of scene were contrast detection would to better. And honestly, I could not see a difference in most of the pictures. As he said, it is not easy to reproduce, so will be hard to confirm, or meet on real life.
It's personal, but I wouldn't defer a purchase based on that video. And as for most cameras, takin' it in your hands is way better to choose than read all reviews. 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.
But here's the thing. I don't own a lens that is wider than f3. Someday I may, but even then, I doubt I would use the wider stops. I can live with that just fine, but maybe it's not for you. 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 shots testing this camera only to find that it works perfectly. I dont want to test it myself to see the defect, lol. But i enjoy using 70d.
In the case of the 70D, it offers all of the above vs the D 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.
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? Especially since the 70D uses dual pixel technology, which is an inherent feature of the actual sensor?
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 The 7D would only be better all-round if it came down to handling, AF zones and ruggedness. 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! Hey guys! I'm more video fanatic than photography. Which one will be better for video, the 7D or the 70D?
I really appreciate your comments!! Also, unless you are already invested in Canon lenses, for video you should look at mirrorless options, especially the Olympus and Panasonic options.
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? If you're already invested in Canon lenses, the 70D would be the logical choice from a 40D. You should also look at the D, 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 D Happy snapping! 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.
Faster than 7. Only option is the 7D at 8 fps or you'll have to skip to 1Dx Similarly, this is as deep as it gets on burst shots in this category.
Unless you're referring to RAW, and even then you're out of options. It may be that your AF experience is as a result of the glass you paired with the camera because the AF can not get any faster on my camera even if I wanted when I use any of my EF L lenses or even the kit lens STM. And that goes for the optical viewfinder as well as live view. But, you have to trust your system and if it did not work for you, it's better to do what you did and change.

The camera is 5. The body is made of mostly plastic. Nearly all of the buttons on this camera only serve one function, which is helpful for older, less technologically savvy shooters. The design of the Canon EOS 70D was also improved because it came with a touchscreen, which lessened the problem a lot of photographers had with difficult buttons on earlier models. Importantly, this camera body also works with a crazy number of different lenses.
I would guess the number is somewhere between The Canon EOS 70D features a fully-articulating touchscreen, which is one of my favorite specs on any camera.
