A Review from DPReview:

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-eos-70d/19: "It's only really the smaller viewfinder, less substantial-feeling construction and a couple of minor complaints surrounding JPEG defaults and white balance that count against the 70D in our scoring. Overall, the Canon EOS 70D exceeded our expectations in the autofocus department, and satisfied our needs as a quality enthusiast camera for a wide variety of shooting situations. "

One negative aspect I discovered myself some days ago too, shooting some birds in flight:

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-eos-70d/12:
"Sadly Dual Pixel AF is only really used for single image AF or movie shooting (see the movie page to see how it does). If you need continuous autofocus with tracking, you have to use the 70D's conventional AF system. We looked at how well it could track a subject walking towards the camera and left-to-right across the frame."

It is a pity. It would be a great advantage to use the new AF in tracking moving objects.
