Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

Dual memory card slots please. Overall specs of the camera are really good.

Is it just me or does that look like 7D to me?

It's just you. There's clearly a zero in the name.

No GPS? I'd rather have GPS (for geotagging and for making sure the clock is up to date) than WiFi. My wife's $200 2-year-old pocket compact has GPS!

New Sensor!

Hooray !!!

No, it's not just you 8).

Except for the articulating LCD, this is basically the 7D ... with a new sensor.

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

So the 70D is a good step ahead.... autofocus with 19 cross points and 5Xfaster live view.... a bump up in ISO and # of pixels... WiFi..... This makes the 7D a very lame duck... perhaps even a dead duck...

This can only mean only one of two things.... that the 7D line is to be discontinued, or that the 7D2 will be a SIGNIFICANT step up over the 7D... I'm hoping for the latter!

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

Very similar specs when compared to the 7D. I would have thought that this needs to be better than 7D in all aspects including fps.

BIG +1

You have spared me to write exact the words quoted above.

IF Canon doesn't tack an extra $1000 onto the price I think I have found my second body. If it is priced properly.

What's not clear about 70D yet:
- AFMA is present or not
- body is magnesium alloy or not
- SD card slot speed

I think 7d2 will have magnesium-alloy body, focus system of 5d3 or closer to that, dual memory slot, digic 6/6+, 1080p@60fps, even a new sensor and everything 70D has. So, 7d2 will be more of a high-end ASP-C.

But I speculate 70D will be priced high, 1200$+

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

im quite intrigued by the spec list. i wonder about the ISO noise compared to 60D/7D. although i really hoped for a Digic6, since they already introduced it in a pocket camera.

Depending on the body quality, it looks indeed like the 70D will take the place of the current 7D in the Canon line-up

+1... kinda bummed with the wifi it likely wouldn't be full mag alloy, but maybe just maybe they'll prove me wrong... touch screen and articulating screen i'm not bothered about... i do would like headphone jack output for video... also if it can use the same battery as the 5d3/7d that would be great...

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

Hoping the new sensor has awesome high-ISO performance. Also hoping there's two card slots!

because APS-C are known for awesome high-ISO performance, right?

 

[hmmm]

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

OK... the sensor is not the same_O, and it is boasted to have "exceptional...tonal range"

Now I'm interested.

(BTW... not to be too obvious but trying to be helpful -- click on the shot of the specs in the OP to expand the image -- the specs on the rhs are clearly legible. Judging from some of the comments in this thread some folks have gotten so excited they didn't realize they could expand the image and read all the specs!) 8)

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

at least it's not a joke like the 60D; it looks likes a real XXD body

Re: Canon EOS 70D Spec List

My only question here is not about the 70D itself, but about the (possible) 7Dii.
Not much room left between the 70D and the 6D/5Diii for the 7Dii ... unless the 7Dii would be something like a cropped 5Diii (around the same price as well though)
Any thoughts about that?
