If only Canon would give you AFMA on the 70D 
Canon wouldn't needlessly take away a feature like that, would they? No, they won't. They already did that to the 60D. This time, they'll do nothing of the sort.
By which I mean, do nothing. As in, not add it back in.

But maybe they'll surprise us - the did give the 5DIII the AF from the 1-series, after all. So there's hope. Faint hope, but hope nonetheless.
