Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Powerful and Versatile Canon EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera - Body Only by Avut Deesri แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm happy with it, the price and the quality, I recommend to buy it.

Recently, in addition to photography, I have also become interested in video. Before this camera, I had almost all three-digit models from Canon, starting with the revolutionary 300D. There was a 60 before the 70. So, if video is optional for you, then there is no point in changing 60-ku to 70-ku. At least, I did not notice anything particularly important for myself. But if you also use it for video - here is the most relish! First and foremost is autofocus. She is just wonderful! With the release of this camera, you can now seriously talk about using autofocus in video mode for DSLRs. In general, the device turned out to be worthy. If most of the minuses are eliminated with new firmware, then it will be just an ideal device. Minus one star only due to the lack of such important and useful chips that are indicated in the shortcomings.

Pros
  • 1. New DualPixel autofocus technology (in video and LiveView mode). Now it has become realistic to use autofocus on a DSLR. Very fast and accurate, without any yaws and jerks. Tracking mode - weigh! And with STM lenses, it's just so chic: quiet and fast! 2. Rotary and touch screen. For shooting video, as well as for taking photos from a low or high point, it is simply irreplaceable. Moreover, the quality of the sensor itself is beyond praise, as on modern smartphones! 3. Ability to adjust autofocus (adjustment) for several lenses separately. 4. High working ISO, even at 3200 is acceptable. Noise, of course, but not fatal. 5. Comfortable grip. When compared with the three-digit models from Canon, in which my little finger constantly dangled in the air. 6. Excellent, large and bright viewfinder, again, when compared with three-digit models. 7. Autofocus system (through the viewfinder) from the older model. Multipoint, fast and very accurate. 8. Convenient control.
Cons
  • 1. Lack of 60 fps in FullHD mode. 2. WiFiโ€ฆ Some kind of uselessโ€ฆ In video mode, you canโ€™t start shooting. Yes, and control from a smartphone / tablet is somehow meager . You can, of course, use the DSLR Controller for Android (the video still wonโ€™t start). 3. No focus peaking. Such a trifle, but very comfortable. 4. No headphone output. 5. Shutter priority/aperture priority modes do not work when shooting video. Only fully manual (M), or full automatic (P). 6. There is no dedicated button on the case for white balance (you canโ€™t even assign it) . Only through โ€œQโ€. 7. Does not remember the last settings for photos and videos separately (they are common). Partially solved by the "C" mode. 8. No built-in intervalometer for time lapses. Resolved by DSLR Controller.
