Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

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.

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.

GmwDarkroom said:
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.

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.

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

Might be a nice reach companion to the 5D3 at $1000 intro or thereabouts. If it's only a stop better DR than the 60D that's not so great but passable.

With the articulating screen it may be nice for video too. The critical question will be the downsampling: it's not 3x3 binning as the sensor isn't the 22.3MP of the 5D3. So one wonders if it's still 1st-gen line skipping or if they are using that Digic5+ and giving it the downsampling of the 1DX. Also, not clear if it does clean HDMI. I imagine it has all the 700D autofocus features and touch screen doodads.

At 7fps I doubt it's the SD card speed of the 5D3's SD slot. I would imagine it has fast writes, hopefully fast enough for a ML RAW video hack...

i thought it said "iso 12,800 maximum" which is not told whether or not this one is a native iso right? or this one is its native iso, and h1, h2 iso will be higher numbers? however, i have been waiting for my 7d mark ii for a while already... where is my 7d mark ii... >:(

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.

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

i think this is a general standard requirement of a camera with popup flash right? i saw one of my friend used his t4i popup flash to control some of other off camera speedlites. if t4i has it, i do not see why 70d does not have it.
