New Sensor!

Below is the spec list of the upcoming Canon EOS 70D.

The new autofocus type we were told about appears to be the Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus. It works up to a claimed 5 times faster than previous EOS cameras in live view.

So...20 MP, one more stop of native ISO vs. the 60D/7D, the 7D's phase detect AF system, hybrid AF on the image sensor, 7 fps, WiFi, and still uses the LP-E6.

completely new sensor or just a revamped 18MP sensor, that´s the question.

i hope for a smaller manufacturing process.

Looks intriguing.  Now let's see where price lands.

Interesting...I was planning on skipping this one and keeping my 60D but this looks like a nice upgrade depending on the final details and the price.

It's finally here!!! Hopefully it's a thousand at most. But it's canon. Yay for a new sensor! 19 cross type pionts! I'm not disappointed with the specs at all so far. Maybe iso could be better.

does this mean it uses the same AF technology of 7d ?

I wonder if it has the same flash control (master) capabilities like the 7D.

Oh dear, is "multi exposure" really considered a feature? 

[Viggo]

Is it build like a squeaky box of yoghurt, or is it metal now? It looks cool enough.

[GmwDarkroom]

does this mean it uses the same AF technology of 7d ?

That was my question.

It reads like the new AF system is only good for Live View and movie mode.

Still, not bad depending on the price.

I heard from previous cr that it features a magnesium alloy body except for the top part. I'm not totally sure. But the build quality of the 60D was bad and they heard the complaints.

[neuroanatomist]

does this mean it uses the same AF technology of 7d ?

Almost certainly.  Not too cost effective to design an entirely new AF system when the 7D's can be reused.  That's for the standard phase detect AF, of course.

It reads like the new AF system is only good for Live View and movie mode.

That's referring to the hybrid AF - pixels on the CMOS image sensor dedicated to phase detect AF.  That system is separate from the 19-pt phase AF sensor.  The former is with the mirror up, the latter with the mirror down.

[vikram1988]

it'll be one hell of a confusion if its priced around the same range as 7d.

[GmwDarkroom]

That's referring to the hybrid AF - pixels on the CMOS image sensor dedicated to phase detect AF.  That system is separate from the 19-pt phase AF sensor.  The former is with the mirror up, the latter with the mirror down.

That's what I thought it meant.

Not that the AF system on a 7D is anything to sneeze at.

The price point will determine whether I stick with APS-C or jump to FF.  Loyalty deals make a really compelling argument.

Got my fingers crossed regarding the new sensor's performance/DR.

If only Canon would give you AFMA on the 70D
