Review on 📸 Powerful and Versatile Canon EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera - Body Only by Hien Quang ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied with it, there are only some small flaws.

Two nuances: 1 - I don't shoot video. At all. 2 - I'm used to units - hefty heavy boxes, which you can manage without breaking away from JVI at all. I took a box for a trip, for a couple of months, to try and play around. 70d was second at 1d4 - well, here, of course, the comparison is meaningless, cars of a different class. But, if we ignore the one, then the 70d performed perfectly - IMHO, a worthy box for its money. Formally, the subject seems to have replaced 60d - I don’t know, I didn’t shoot 60d, I didn’t like the camera at all. And 70d - IMHO, not so much a "good camera" as a "good photo-video combine". Who needs a video - will appreciate. I won’t take it myself, I’ll wait for a hypothetical 7d2, but I can quite recommend it.

Pros
  • 1. The main thing is that the new matrix still turned out great. All sorts of dual-pixels, etc. I don’t care deeply and forever, but the detailing has become better, and the working ISO 6400 is excellent! For printing in a good format, it's still bad, but for the web, it's more than enough. 2. Swivel screen - very convenient for macro and in general for shooting from all sorts of wild positions - from below, from the ground, upwards, to the corner, etc . 3. AF - turned out to be unexpectedly accurate and accurate. 4. Lightweight. In principle, a double-edged sword, but for an amateur with "ordinary" glasses, it's rather good. 5. AF adjustment - relevant for all sorts of buggy sigmas. 6. Precise exposure metering. In any case, even when focusing on the sides, the percentage of undershoots did not go beyond the acceptable range. This makes me happy. 7. Fast buffer - the more pleasant that it is unexpected.
Cons
  • 1. Rate of fire. Both the card format and the small buffer are cons for me. SD, of course, is convenient for its versatility, but I do not like them. And you can’t shoot long series, the camera hangs. 2. Ergonomics and control. The device, in principle, is normal, I got used to it quickly, but not very well. Menu control for younger boxes is kind of the norm, but the wheels are still more convenient. 3. The plastic is easily soiled, a couple of days of intensive shooting in the outdoors - everything is wiped, dusty, the box looks like it was lying in the dust for half a year. Although it is well made - no cracks, backlashes. 4. There is no AF backlight - it is very strange, it does not interfere much, but bewilderment remains. 5. When shooting handheld with a fast telephoto lens, there is no balance, support is necessary. 6. Shutter speed 1/8000, of course, is sometimes needed - after all, crop, it’s a sin not to shoot in the open, the depth of field allows. But - no, twist the filters.
