3 fps for the 70D? That's pretty poor performance...disappointing...

[tombu]

3fps for 70D, lol? But it's interesting to see if canon can deliver new awesome sensor.

[Immaculens]

70D info cannot be credible... the 60D got so much flack on a large scale due to some downgrade features vs the 50D, and Canon simply would not do it 'again. 3fps cannot be right, especially with Digic5...

[Mt Spokane Photography]

FPS of a 70D depends on the number of MP.  If high MP, fps is less.  The 7D MK II may have dual processors like the MK I.
There are two versions of the Digic V processor, and the cheap one is slower.

24 MP sensors, it seems.  So with a Digic 5 (not 5+) in the 70D, 3 fps makes sense (technically, not sure it makes sense from a marketing standpoint).

Havent seen much news on the 70d so glad to see this - and glad to see the pictured  70d has the flip screen!  wonder how many af points the 70d would have?   hopefully not 9.  11? 19? 


I'll put my 60d on ebay once this is cr2.

I love my 60D.  And the 70D as listed isn't an adequate upgrade... I really don't want to pay for a 5d mkiii, but it looks like that is what my upgrade path will be.

That seems to fit with Canon's strategy.  The 60D was an upgrade path for Rebel/xxxD owners, and for 50D owners, the 60D wasn't an upgrade - the 7D was a better choice.  These specs are consistent with the same: xxxD -> 70Dor 6D, 60D -> 7DII or 5DIII.

Just can't be right(3fps), even 650D has 5... 6fps is possible.
I like 60D, don't need bigger body without flip screen like 7D II.

I don't read Japanese, but the characters after 3.0 don't match the ones after 10 in the 7dii description. Maybe it means 3.0 inch screen? Makes no sense for the 70D to be lower fps than the t4i and the same as the t3.

This post should get the juices going and the spittoon overflowing!!

I believe in the 7D2, not so much the other.

[jebrady03]

I'm okay with 3 FPS on the 70D if everything else is dramatically improved.  Heck, I'm okay with 1 FPS.  I'm not a "spray and pray" kind of guy and my subjects don't demand it.  In fact, with a flip out screen, I can't imagine the target audience is either.  I use live view focusing quite often and while faster focusing would be helpful, faster FPS would not be.

Having said that, to get me to upgrade from my 60D, they need to release a FF with a flip out LCD (I was initially hoping that would be the 6D).  Then, they can have my money.  Until then, probably not!

Also, this is an EXCELLENT point

I don't read Japanese, but the characters after 3.0 don't match the ones after 10 in the 7dii description. Maybe it means 3.0 inch screen?

Seriously. Because even if they gave it an awesome auto-focus system (19pt or higher), what good is that at 3fps.

Then again, if the strategy was to lose all their entry business to Nikon, then that would work well being spec'd against a camera that does 39pt AF, 5fps, at the same 24mp

The specs on the D70 does NOT say 3fps. It says "3.0-inch Variable Angle LCD"
