There's no getting round it, the 70D is big. The step up in size from the entry-level 700D is notable enough – it's taller, fatter and has a far bigger grip – but put it next to a CSC such as the Olympus OMD-EM1 and it feels needlessly hefty. Alright, so...

VERDICT The 70D is Canon's best DSLR for ages. While its recent entry-level models have been near flawless in their own right, they've not really offered anything that might make compact system camera users sit up and take notice. But the 70D does exactly...

Canon’s release schedule this past year hasn’t been quite as manic as its competitors, with ‘just’ three DSLR consumer offerings in the EOS 100D, 700D and 70D in ascending order of price and specification. As well as being top dog the 20.2 effective me...

Given the maelstrom in the camera business, Canon – still the biggest player – is keeping a decided low profile while sticking to DSLRs, one of its main meal tickets. The 20.2-megapixel EOS 70D ($1,199, body only) is the latest and it's targeted to advanc...

The Canon EOS 70D is a first-rate 20.2MP DSLR and gives one of our favorites, the Nikon D7100, a very good run for the money. We really like the operability and still quality of both. However, the Canon really trumps Nikon on the video front. Canon's ne...

When I tested the Canon EOS 60D three years ago in AP 23 August 2010, I thought it was quite a significant camera for the company. The market for middle to high-end enthusiast DSLRs has always been very competitive, so when Canon introduced the EOS 60D it...

At first glance the Canon EOS 70D may look like just another DSLR. But it's oh so much more than that: the 70D wages all-out war against not only the rest of the mid-level DSLR market, but also has the technology to take on mirrorless models - often calle...
