Key Advantages

The EOS 70D's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology offers highly improved autofocus speed and accuracy during live view and video shooting compared to previous models. Its 20.2MP CMOS sensor delivers sharp images with vibrant colors and minimal noise, even in low-light situations. The 19-point all cross-type AF system provides fast and precise focusing performance critical for action and portrait photography. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows intuitive wireless image sharing and remote camera control via smartphones. The vari-angle 3-inch touchscreen LCD enhances usability by offering flexible shooting angles and touch focus operation. Additionally, the robust magnesium alloy body construction ensures durability while maintaining a relatively lightweight and ergonomic design.

Limitations

While the EOS 70D performs well in many aspects, it lacks 4K video recording capabilities, which newer models offer. The buffer depth can be limited when shooting in continuous high-speed mode, affecting the number of frames captured before slowing down. Its ISO range maxes out at 12800 (expandable to 25600), which is modest compared to recent models with higher ISO sensitivity for better low-light performance. The absence of built-in GPS requires users to rely on external accessories for location tagging. Although Wi-Fi is built-in, it does not support the faster Bluetooth or NFC connectivity standards found in later cameras. The camera's autofocus performance, while impressive, may not be as effective in very low light or with quickly moving subjects compared to the latest autofocus technologies.
