Smart-Review Commentary: Canon’s 70D is a midrange entry with most of the power of the Canon 5D Mark III, but at a much lower cost, size and weight. It has the same Digic 5+ processor (17 times faster than the older Digic 4 chip). The big news for this camera is the new 20.2 megapixel imaging sensor with Dual Pixel AF technology. This allows for much faster and acccurate AutoFocus, especially with video capture. This is the best DSLR autofocus system available and the only camera currently with this technology. The new touchscreen allows you to point at subjects to focus on, and does a decent job at focus pull (in video mode) when you point to another subject to focus on. This is great for fast action and interviews where you can’t manually focus fast enough to follow the action. HD movie capture has Full 1080p HD quality at 30 frames/second (blu-ray quality), and the 720p mode is at a fast 60fps frame rate. For better video quality, Canon has added the ALL-I codec, which compresses frame by frame instead of intraframe for best quality. In addition to an external microphone jack the 70D now has built-in stereo microphones. Built-in WiFi is new and allows you to share photos, and even control your camera with a smartphone. In the SLR mode this camera has a fast 7.0 frames/second burst mode, AF points have increased to 19, and ISO has been upgraded from 6400 to 12800. The 70D is an awesome camera for both pictures and HD video. It is the best DSLR for filming video. The 70D has received outstanding professional and consumer reviews. All of our 2014 CES coverage was shot with the Canon 70D, and it did a fantastic job. We tested this camera with the VAF-70D Anti Aliasing filter (see video below). This model gets SmartReview’s top pick for the best APS-C DSLR for 2014-2015.
