all of you who already own a 70D. can you honestly comment on its even smaller back wheel/dial than the one on 60D? an honest opinion.

because when i first saw the pictures and comparison, i thought to myself that no way can this be nice if your fingers arent those of a child. and then i heard it on a review stating the same "problem".

I just got mine this afternoon (August 22nd) at Aden Camera in Downtown Toronto (Yonge and Dundas) for $1150 (body only). They had a lot of 70Ds with the 18-55mm kit, a few 18-135mm kits, and some bodies. Waiting for the battery to fully charge to play with it :-)

Dude come on is it charged yet or what? Let's see some sample images already!

;D

<strong>From Australia</strong>

The first country to our knowledge to get the new EOS 70D is Australia. A few have started to trickle in to retailers around the country. For the moment it appears only kits have made their way to retailers.</p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE*

</strong>Bodies are arriving at retailers as we speak.</p>

<p><strong>The rest of the world…</strong>

We’re told by B&H Photo to expect arrival of the camera to happen before the end of August. Stock will be pretty good, but preorders are still recommended. European retailers should get them around the same time.</p>

USA customers:

Amazon.com says they will be shipping August 26th. B&H "end of August". Adorama same as B&H.

Hi all-

Melbourne, Australia: 70D everywhere in stores now. Will be interested to find out how the dual pixel AF works at macro distances and in low light. Might have to have a play with one once the initial havoc dies down, for the sake of curiosity... Still waiting for that 7D ii however.

My Canon EOS 70d body just arrived from fotovideo.no here in Norway!

Congrats on your new acquisition. ...And Welcome to cr :)

Congratulations to the new proud owners of the touted 70d!

Please please spend the weekend testing your new toys :)

Am interested in ISO performance and how improved is the AF.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

No 1080p 60?

So the G16 has 1080P 60 FPS but the 70D only has 720p 60?? Are you kidding me? I don't get Canon marketing at all. No slow mo on the $6k c100, 720p 60FPS on the $15k c300 and 720p/60FPS on the $1.2k 70D but 1080p/60FPS on the $600 G16? Wow.
