There's so much to love about this camera that deciding where to start is a challenge.My absolute favorite feature on this camera is that you can easily attach your smart phone to it. Via wifi one can control the shutter or transfer pictures wirelessly. You can see exactly what the camera sees from your phone's screen! This is a great feature because you don't have to buy a dedicated shutter release.Canon was super smart about how they implemented this wireless connectivity. The camera itself creates an access point that your device can attach to. Once you've connected your phone to the camera's hotspot you just launch the Canon app. You can even change the shutter speed and aperture on the camera from your phone.The screen on this camera is AWESOME! It can pivot and turn allowing you to take pictures without being forced to look through the eye hole. The screen is vivid and colorful. Oh, and by the way, the screen is touch controlled. At first I kind of laughed at this feature, like "ha, who would ever use that?" I can't tell you how awesome the touch screen is, it's sensitive and accurate and a complete pleasure to work with. What's better is that almost every control you might ever need to adjust while shooting is accessible through the screen, meaning you don't have to fumble around with buttons, knobs or navigate menus to adjust your shot settings.The 70D has a reasonable HDR shooting mode, which is a function I always want on my cameras. Some of the Sony cameras have pretty awesome HDR, taking up to 7 pictures to combine together. The 70D can take 3 pictures at different exposures and combine them together, which in many cases is adequate.Of course the picture quality is astounding on Canon's 70D. Right out of the box I took 3 pictures of friends in my house that just blew me away. I knew after 10 minutes of shooting with this device that I made the right purchase.I've owned the Canon 20D and 50D in the past. One thing that always drove me crazy was that the battery meter. The meter previously had four indications, Full, Medium, Low and flashing (very low). On my previous cameras the battery meter would show full, then be at low, skipping the midrange all together. The Canon 70D's battery meter is far more accurate, meaning you aren't surprised by a dead battery all of a sudden.While we're at it, the battery life is superb on the 70D.I never really cared much about shooting video with my cameras before. The 70Ds video shooting is SO incredibly good that I am now looking for opportunities to record things! Last night I recorded my friend's harp recital. I was standing in the doorway across the room and just using the built in microphone. The sound was good (though one can purchase a wireless microphone for better sound), and the video quality was out of this world.The only real complaint I have with this camera is that it seems challenged by scenes with highly differing contrasts. The first evening after receiving the 70D I went for walk a little bit before sunset. I was taking pictures of brick buildings with the sky above them. The brick looked overly dark and lacked detail. I had several other similar experiences shooting with bright skies. The pictures were so concerning I called Canon tech support (which was excellent by the way). They looked at my raw images and said the camera was fine.After using the 70D for some time now I've learned to compensate by setting the ISO to auto or adjusting the metering mode. Most DSLRs I've owned have had their own "personality." Learning the nuances of these cameras takes a little time.All in all, this is by far the best camera I've ever owned. I can't recommend it enough!

Before I review some of the features of this magnificent camera here is my background. I am an intermediate level family photographer with advanced knowledge of computer software and tech gadgets. Canon 70D is my first DSLR which I got about a week ago. Previously I had film SLR, several advanced digital cameras and camcorders. I needed a DSLR which can capture videos and take photos in low light. I have to say this is a wonderful camera which suits my needs. Every good thing you read regarding this camera's focusing ability, video capabilities, LiveView (LV) shooting is mostly true. There are a few shortcomings, most of which I think can be corrected with future firmware updates (if Canon wishes).1. The Wi-Fi feature is great for sending photo to your phone or tablet or email or sharing on social media sites but it needs to be disabled manually for movie shooting and USB connection which is very annoying. Wi-Fi should automatically get disabled when switching to Movie mode or when USB cable is connected (with a pop-up message).2. I miss the AF assist light. Good thing is the strobe flash AF assist has a good range and works with most lens but the strobe flash AF assist has some limitations as mentioned below (apart from startling your photographed subject).3. LiveView (LV) focusing is absolutely brilliant with the touch to focus capability. But in low light AF assist strobe fires only in ViewFinder (VF) mode and not in LV mode. Hence in low light, in LV mode the camera will not focus at all! After communicating with Canon support, I tried the P mode and found in P-mode only if AF quick mode is selected, AF assist works. However in AF quick mode you cannot select a region to focus (tap to focus)!4. The horizontal level indicator is a neat feature but in LV mode there is no way to show the level while shooting (as an overlay).5. Also I didn't find a way to enable/disable flash using the "Quick Control" button in advanced modes such as P. It is however present in basic modes such as A+!6. While capturing video if you want to take a still photo, there is quite a few frame drops (about 1 sec as mentioned in the manual) even when using SD card with 95mb/s speed. My old Canon camcorder has "Dual Shot" without any frame-drop. I wish Canon could implement "dual shot" in this camera as well.7. In LV mode, when you are switching between still photo shooting modes using mode dial, LV switches off which is somewhat annoying.8. The 19 cross-type AF points is more than what I need but there is no way to select the AF points in Basic modes (A+, No Flash, CA) when using VF. I think including this option (at least in the creative auto (CA) mode) would have been a good thing for novice users.9. Lastly, I think it would be really convenient, if in VF mode, when you are switching shooting modes using mode dial, the LV panel could automatically show the information about that shooting mode. This will be really helpful if you are using SCN mode as there is no way to know what scene you have previously selected in the top LCD.In summary this is great camera for taking excellent quality photo and video in most situations (including low light). As Canon has incorporated so many features in this camera for the LiveView (LV) shooting, I think they need to include all the features of ViewFinder (VF) shooting in LV mode and tweak the firmware a little bit. Also I have to say, I am extremely glad I made this purchase.UPDATE (9/24/2013): Regarding electronic horizontal level indicator. It is possible to show it as overlay in Live View (LV) mode but only when you are not using "face detection + tracking"!!!Also when you are using continuous shooting in LV mode the screen becomes blank! The canon customer service said it is not possible to capture image and show the live view at the same time. This means continuous shoot is not useable in LV mode!

I went the Canon DSLR route due to looking at astrophotography. The entry level camera recommended on a particular website, at the time, was a Canon Rebel XS. The website was of course outdated. However, I found a Rebel XS on clearance, and so bought it. After accumulating four lenses, I kicked myself for not waiting to buy a Nikon instead. It had all the bells and whistles and the Rebel XS was bare bones. I didn't realize how bare bones until after I bought it. It did force me to learn how to do things manually, however, rather than depend on Nikon's automatic features such as snow, sand, fireworks, etc. scenes mode.Earlier this month, I decided to get a new camera. Of course it had to be a Canon that could fit my previous four lenses. So I looked, and was going to get a 60D, but the online store was out of stock. So I found the 70D. I liked it more because it boasted the auto focus mode like a camcorder, and could shoot video, something sorely abesent on my Rebel XS but prevalent on my earlier model point and shoot camera that was made before the Rebel XS came to market. I did a comparison at a certain website, and the only thing that the Rebel XS beat the 70D in was weight, and that it could turn on and be ready to go just a little bit quicker. I also got the 18-135mm STM lens for video. The lenses I have are very noisy despite two of them being hypersonic motors as their focusing.My only real upset with this is that the infrared remote requires me to be in front before it will take the photo. Maybe it is something all cameras with an infrared sensor has problems with. I was able to utilize the wireless aftermarket shutter remote that I bought for my Canon Rebel XS, and use it without having to manually switch the camera to turn on the infrared sensor and wait for the two second mark. That was a nice surprise, because I thought it wouldn't work.I still have to get used to the focusing bit. Some photos, like one reviewer said, are indeed soft, and I notice it on the black rectangles/squares when I thought it was in focus in the viewfinder, and the photo simply is not. However, the viewfinder size, as well as ISO setting is way beyond my Rebel XS, with a few nice features (Miniature mode and HDR mode is my favorite) thrown in. I wouldn't say the photo quality is much nicer in my opinion, because I have printed out two 11x14s and I really cannot tell a quality difference from 10 MP to 20.2 MP at that size. It could also be attributed to the glass I'm using. I saw one man with a Canon T3i taking photos with a Class L lens while I tested my 70D at a butterfly exhibit (Florida) and so I believe he was getting better photos with the glass being a lot better.For the Nikon users whom might get on here and say that this particular camera sucks, I've been to three different tourist attractions, and for some reason, I've seen only one or two Nikons in a sea of Canons. So apparently Canon is doing something to win over these tourists to Florida. I even helped a woman with her Canon EOS 60D due to it being very similar to the 70D.

so far so good. about an hour of use, my rating may change. a few tips. I wanted to buy this camera through amazon because I really like how they ship, BUT they do not take pay pal (they should) so I decided to go with one call via eBay for 999.00, no state sales tax. I am from NY and the taxes here are outrageous. I sold my canon 5dmark ii to get this camera, I also have a t3i.I love the speed of this camera shooting jpeg with a fast sd card , that's right you should have a fast card (80 mb's will do) for this camera especially shooing RAW (lab tests later) video tracking was decent with my 28-105mm canon lens. tracking will vary do to lens speed and shooting conditions. being a videographer for many years DSLR'S have a way to go to match pro-Sumer video cameras.this camera feels good in my small hand and the weight is just right. I am not a big fan of touch screen operation because the screen gets smudged in a hurry, being anal retentive/ a clean freak this gets annoying to me but I will make the best of it.* always put a screen shield on this camera ASAP you'll be glad you did.the 3 main reasons I sold my 5D mark ii was it didn't have a swivel screen , I love the swivel screen, its a must for video shooting. the on camera flash. I have an external speed light/flash I just really never find myself using it. I feel I have most shooting situations covered with the on camera flash although it has its drawbacks. camera 7 FPS is awesome + 20 MP is pretty cool.one problem I did encounter is the battery charger. I put the dead battery that came with the camera on the charger and left it to charge thinking nothing of it.4 hours later I see the battery still blinking rapidly ....ooops I guess I should read the directions. the directions state if the red blinking light flashes rapidly its not charging . its not charging ? I have never heard of this.why is there a communication problem between a new battery and the battery charger?...following the directions I separated the battery from the charger and put it back on....still blinking rapidly.....repeated this action again and finally the battery started to charge. NOT COOL.I have 2 after market batteries that would no charge on this charger .Bummer I then ordered an aftermarket charger for 5 $ no big deal. keep in mind that this battery charger is the same battery charger that comes with the 5dmark ii 7D and a few other models. I should be able to charge after market batteries on this charger.sample picture from my sigma 170-500mm on auto where beautiful.l this camera raised the level of usefulness on this sometimes tricky to use lens. The in camera aberration and ISO reduction really works. I will update after I put this camera through a more rugged workout .

We bought this camera as we were expecting our first child and decided we would take the pictures instead of taking the baby to a professional photographer. Well, I was wrong about that, as my skill can't match the pros. That being said, this camera is awesome. I debated between this and a Nikon d7100 for a while, and while the Nikon does slightly better pictures based on the specs, this camera blows it away with everything else. It is faster on the shots, focuses better on action shots, and does video as well (if not better) than most of the dedicated video camera's out there. The kit I purchased came with a tripod, memory card, a bag, battery, and a bunch of other accessories. While they are all handy, most of them don't get used. The tripod doesn't feel sturdy enough to put this camera on, and the memory card is good, but it's not the faster speed card needed for high speed shooting. I ended up buying a faster card, and using the tripod for our small point and shoot.
If I were looking to buy again, I'd definitely consider this camera, although I'd probably hold out until the next iteration just because I'm sure it's just around the corner. A big complaint by other users is that it doesn't have dual card slots, this is not an issue for me since even with only a single card slot (and a 64 GB card) I get 2500+ pictures at the highest settings while dual shooting (recording both raw and jpg files); if I switch it to just raw or jpg, it's over 10,000.
While I'm not a professional, this camera definitely makes me look better at photography than I really am. Pair it with some software like lightroom, and you will feel like a pro. I'm not sure if I'm just biased towards Canon as I have only shot one Nikon and didn't like it (that was about 8 years ago), or if I just like the dual feature of having a video camera (which is completely silent) and still shot in one, but this camera was well worth the money, and in the future I really only see Canon stepping it up with their dual sensor technology.

Love this camera. I've had several Canon's (film and digital) over the years and the 70D is by far my favorite. The feature that got me over all others is the level display, which is a blessing when taking shore-line photos: NO SLANTING HORIZONS.
The touch-screen is a tremendous bonus in any mode but Auto. You no longer need to twist knobs, push buttons, or rack your brain trying to remember what the manual said about a particular.
This package deal is overall a worthwhile purchase. However, the 500mm telephoto is only good in very bright conditions. It won't give you good photos across an indoor arena (images way too dark), but will do fine with static objects in bright sunlight. It simply lacks the light-gathering ability of large-objective lenses. The tripod is useless for anything but the lightest camera (I use the one I got as a mount for a spotting scope). It won't do a great job at holding up the 70D, or rather, I wouldn't count on it to give you the results one expects when supporting a $1000+ DSLR (I personally prefer, and bought, a Manfrotto so I can get the best results). Bottom line: nothing in this kit is useless or a waste. For the most part you will get wonderful results and the two Canon lenses included are superb.

Background info on my experience/use: semi pro portrait/event photographer, professional landscape photographer. Cameras past and present: canon 5D mark III, Canon 7D (owned currently), Leica M3 35mm film, Canon 60D, And Canon t3iThe nitty gritty on this camera after a week of use:Build/functionality-Its a solid update to the popular 60d dslr. Smaller profile than its predecessor however the grip and feel of the camera still remains solid. And much more girth than its younger siblings in the Rebel series. The redesign of button locations on the rear of the camera make for a fluid interface to the menus screens while maintaining the appeal that higher quality SLRs have had with dedicate Aperature and Shutter speed wheels. The added perk of the New touch screen technology from the T4i and T5i have greatly improved the speed to many obscure functions sometimes needed in the depths of software. Its actually pretty fantastic to say the least.Photo Quality-With the addition of the newer Digic 5+ processor the picture quality is only gradually enhanced from the previous Digic 4 of the older generations and 60D. What you will notice a difference in is the rate at which photos can be shot and processed. 7 fps puts this camera closer to the 7D in respects of action photography. I did have high hopes for better low light photos with a new processor since the 60D essentially used a 4 year old unit but unfortunately they look almost identical. It seems you will need to step into a full frame like the 6d or the 5D mark ii & iii to get a substantial difference in quality above 1600 ISO that only a larger sensor can provide.Video Quality-What really sets this camera apart from the rest of the line up(except the 5D mark III) is its incredible ability to process video (and with touch screen focus!!!) Its active autofocus tracks well with lenses. Multiple modes allow you to change focus settings quickly thru simple strokes on the screen. This camera has built in stereo recording unlike the mono of the 60D. It does however lack a good amount of creative features within the camera for video recording. But lets me honest, most of us who do photography and cinematography often do all of our editing from computer software outside of the camera ie lightroom/photoshop etc. With the STM lenses its fairly quick in its focusing and extremely quiet since they were design specifically for camera bodies like the 70D, t4i, and t5i in a video application. Most of my lenses are USM or L series which make for much quicker focusing than even the STM but do sacrifice a bit of more noise (still much better than the cheap kit lens tho).Overall this camera is a solid performer. It is a jack of all trades. Photos to video, it does a dang decent job on it all with a big emphasis on the video side of things. In short. If you need an all around camera this is it. If you need a camera for only still photography you may be better off buying a 7D or full frame camera for the money even tho it does do a "pretty good" job much like the original 60D. Either way you cant lose. I promise.********To anyone using Lightroom 4.4 or lower this camera is not compatible with the CR2 aka RAW files for editing. If you shoot RAW you will need to buy the new Adobe Lightroom 5 and update it to the 5.2 version to even get it to view. Anyone shooting in jpeg will be fine.

Over time I have migrated up the line of Canon DSLR cameras from the early Rebel series through to the 60d (the 70d predecessor). As such I am heavily invested in Canon compatible lenses so any thought of switching to another brand of camera body such as Nikon or Pentax is really out of the question. So for anyone comparing the 70d to any cameras from competing camera manufacturers this is not the review that you will find most helpful. But for those who may be considering moving up the Canon line or hopping in for the first time hopefully I can help. From the first use the 70d is an impressive camera. It looks, feels, and can operate much like the 60d that I owned previously so I could use it right out of the box. But as I become more familiar with the 70d I am finding the upgrades from the previous generation are significant and useful in actual use. The touchscreen is much more than a gimmick, it is my go to method of set up when I turn the camera on. I can immediately see my settings and make alterations with a touch of a finger. I find autofocus to be faster and more accurate with all my lenses than had been the case with the 60d. I appreciate the ability to fine tune the autofocus plus or minus if any lens combination were to yield consistent front or back focusing issues. I really like the revision to the autofocus point selection options in the viewfinder. Gone are the red dots that the 60d had replaced by what I find to be more useful squares with increased options for point selection including a zone focusing mode that the 60d lacks. Net result is that I have more "keeper" shots than before. I tend to default to the viewfinder for my composition but the Live View option on the 70d is so good that I am using it as well. Simply compose a shot, touch the specific point on the Live View screen and the 70d can be set up to quickly focus on that spot and shoot. The sensitivity of the autofocus points in Live View is also excellent, arguably more accurate than what can be achieved through the viewfinder. Finally a word about Video performance. Spectacular! Again the upgrade from previous models is significant with better focus tracking and wonderful HD performance. One caution, some third party lenses may not work well in Video mode or may have other compatibility issues with this camera that did not show up on the 60d. My Tamron 28-70 VC and 18-270 PZD for example failed to record video with this camera body. In my case Tamron service was aware of the issue and under warranty upgraded my lenses firmware and now everything works perfectly. But I suggest checking first if you intend to use third party glass on this body

This is a great kit save for one item - the tripod. It broke when I took it out of the bag and extended the legs out. The center guide mast's arm just snapped. Super cheap!
I will update this as I continue to use the product.

I have not had a chance to use all the tools but the camera is awesome. I've also used both lenses and they both are great. I am still figuring out the wifi function of the camera to send pics and it's good but so far not the easiest. It could just be me being new to the camera but I have to reconnect the wifi each time by going through 2 steps on camera then typing in a different code each time on my device -a small hassle. You can also use your iPhone as a remote to take pictures through wifi- nice for family shot. My mother has a camera that she can just email directly from camera in one simple step no reconnecting. I'm hoping there's a way somehow to do the same on cannon 70d However the main functions of camera are very simple and pictures are great.
As for the extras - The extra battery, car charger, lens cleaning kit & clear lens filter are definitely good bonus but not sure how much I will use the rest. One note put clear lens filter on both your lenses before using- it has saved many a lens in my family. The hand grip strap wasn't really for me- seemed cumbersome. The camera bag seemed a bit tight for me- really only camera w/ small lens fits. I have a camera backpack that fits camera, extra lens, battery, charger and more so no biggie. The extra lens filters seems nice but besides the clear (which is a must) not sure how often I will use them- I usually use Adobe photo to add filters. The extra lens bag could be useful for storing. The other goodies I haven't really gotten to explore but overall very happy with my purchase. Camera is great.

I am an amateur photographer and my new 70D that I purchased a couple months ago at B&H has been doing the same underexposure stunt that so many others have experienced (For example, see in depth discussions by searching the internet for Canon 70D bounce flash underexposure).This occurs whether I'm bouncing the flash off a white ceiling that's about eight feet high or using a Sto-fen diffuser attached to my Canon 430ex II in E-TTL mode.Whether the lens being used is the Canon 15-85 or the 55-250 STM, all low light indoor photos with the diffuser attached and with the flash head tilted 45 degrees, or 180 degrees, or direct facing are very underexposed. Same results with bouncing the flash off the ceiling. The photos are even more underexposed when I'm zooming in on the subject.However, If I use Flash Exposure Lock(FEL) before snapping the photo, they all come out looking great, zooming in or not. Without using FEL, the pictures are way underexposed.If I use the same flash setup in the flash's manual mode, without using FEL, and adjust the power down to say 1/2 or 1/4 or somewhere in between, the photos seem properly exposed (as long as I dial in the correct flash power adjustment). With a zoom that has a variable aperture, it's a hit and miss approach and quite cumbersome.Also, I tried the same lenses attached to my Canon T3i taking the same photos as I did with the 70D using the same flash and diffuser without using FEL. The photos all came out looking perfect with no underexposure whatsoever. Then I tried using FEL with the T3i. There was no difference between using FEL and not using it on my T3i. All photos with and without FEL were properly exposed and looked great.I use bounce flash indoors a lot for our one year old granddaughter. I never had this problem, or any other issue, with my T3i. I guess I'll have to resort to FEL use, but that amount flashes takes a toll on an infant. She begins to cry after a few photos if I'm using FEL for each one. Plus, it's hard to get candid shots when an FEL pre-flash is being used.This isn't what I bargained for when I "upgraded" my camera body.I'm now wondering if this will negatively effect exposures on outside fill flash photos with a diffuser attached.The fact that Canon hasn't addressed this yet is disconcerting to say the least. Unless they come up with a fix fairly quickly, I'm not sure I'd ever buy another Canon camera after this.

I have had this camera for a little over a month now and am only working with the kit lens and body right out of the box. I am not using any hot shoe flashes, extra lenses, filters etc., which is the best thing about this camera - it is superb right out of the box as a stock set up. And, I do mean superb. I have owned Canons for about the past 20 years and have to say this is the best I have owned yet for the price point.The stock lens: Excellent lens for a kit lens and truly responsive in terms of focus vs. stabilization and lighting. This, of course, also works in conjunction with the sensor and chip. But, this is a nice, solid lens at a good cost.Video: The primary selling point on this is the focus when using video. I have to try pretty hard to trick the camera in order to see any focus problems when recording video. It's easier to trick the camera in low light, but I think this is the best video I have ever shot with a camera. The audio seems to be on par or above with most cameras in this price range. But, a nice shotgun mike would probably make a nice addition for the serious videographer. I've never considered myself a serious videographer, but this camera could change that.Battery Life: Battery life seems very good and I am still working off the same charge from when I pulled the camera out of the box about a month ago. However, to me this has never been an issue since I ALWAYS carry a spare battery. I may consider a battery grip for this camera and have owned a couple of Canon battery grips with previous Canons. As a result, battery life has never been much of a concern for me.Speed: The speed of the camera is excellent and I have worked in situations where I fired a number of bursts with great success.Form Factor: I think this is a nicely sized camera and the controls are very well placed for my hands. Everyone has different hands and mine tend to be a little smaller. But, I do like the size and feel of this Canon. It is significantly larger than the Rebels and I think that is what I like about it since I always felt the Rebel was a bit small.On-camera Flash: The last thing I'll mention is the on-camera flash. It's the best I have used yet. Hands down. I am not a big flash user because I shoot a lot of naturally lit subjects. But, I have used this one with a lot of success and am pleasantly surprised at how well it works.Overall, I can't say anything bad about this camera. I wish I could offer up something constructive. But it appears as though Canon got everything right in this one. Even the interface...though I am sure there will be plenty of nit-pickers out there, the interface is pretty intuitive with minimal use.This is truly the best Canon I have ever owned.

Love this purchase. Even though I went from the 60D to the 70D, I feel the added features in this was well worth it!!!

Canon would like you to know that they can make a 40 megapixel image sensor. They just see no reason to, as they have better things to do with chip real estate.Canon's finally delivered a DSLR that combines the best of still shooting and video without compromising either, although it seems to have knocked their product matrix sideways by rendering the 7D irrelevant. For sports photographers, the blisteringly fast frame rate for still shots is competitive with some very expensive gear indeed. For videographers, video quality is excellent and isn't limited to the 4GB/12 minute shot limit that previous Canon cameras were stuck with; the half-hour recording time is more than enough to make sure you can get a long sequence all at once without having to worry as much about losing some of it between shots. And the autofocus function is one of the most sophisticated I've seen -- the touch screen enables insanely easy spot focus, and though I've not tried it myself, my understanding is that it does quite well with moving objects. Canon has also chosen to opt out of the megapixel wars once again; 20.2Mpx is only a modest upgrade from the 18 that was standard on their previous generation of APS image sensors, but you'll need to invest in some extremely expensive lenses in order to have a reason to care about the difference. (Incidentally, the new 18-55mm STM kit lens is sweet -- fast, silent, and straightforward. It is focus-by-wire, though, so if you're not a fan, get the body without a lens.)It does have a few downsides, but I don't feel like they really affect the star rating. One is that the wifi function is absolutely byzantine -- you will definitely want to read the (separate) wifi manual, and at least in the initial firmware it lacks the web interface that the Wireless File Transfer modules for Canon's higher-end cameras have. (It also supports EyeFi cards, presumably because Canon already had the drivers in the OS build and didn't see a need to take them out.) Another is that I have yet to find an on-screen live audio monitor; Magic Lantern has traditionally provided this as a third-party addon, but they have yet to hack the 70D, so you may have to do some black magic with cables and headphones to get usable audio monitoring. (It also does not yet seem to be supported by gphoto, meaning that using it on a Linux system is likely to be exciting in all the wrong ways.)So, on the whole, this isn't yet a hacker's camera, but for pretty much all regular purposes, it's damn close to perfect. It's pricier than the Rebel series, but if you've got the budget it's worth it.

Please note that this review is just my personal opinion and I might be wrong. Also I have not compared it to any products by Nikon - the review below is only for Canon folks.I will start with the negatives first.The Ugly:Plasticky Dial :Canon- Please use metal for the heavily used parts.The Bad:Noise: There is considerable noise in low light both in photos and videos.(realistic low light conditions like indoors during evening time) . Not sure why canon is trading noise for megapixels.I am very disappointed with the amount of noise at this price pointMoire: It was unbearable in some shots (especially the Ocean shots)LowLight Focus: Even with 50mm/1.4 the camera struggled to get focus of dimly lit subjects.Lemon: After using my camera for 10 days the buttons on the back (Menu/Playback/Q) stopped working. They worked again when I tilted the camera at an angle and this might be because of some loose contact . I am in the process of getting the device replaced as it is still within the return time-frameThe Good:It has everything except a full framesensor.Video AF was excellent. (with decent light conditions)Color Saturation and Image quality were good (with decent light)7fps was fast enough for me.Weather resistance was useful.Tilt screen was useful.18-135 lens image stabilization seems to be good. during some video shots I didn't expect the video to be stable but i was surprised to see a decent shot.Pricing was goodConclusion:All the ugly and bad points (except for the lemon part) seems to be been done intentionally by cannon to balance their lineup.I was split between 6D and 70D and ended up buying 70D as I will be using all those bells and whistles than the full-frame. This is just my personal preference. In general Full-Frames are better.Most likely in a year or two we will see a full-frame from cannon having the same 70D features. that is a combination of 6d and 70d (today that is 5d, but expensive for non-professionals)Advice:For Families:if you are looking for a camera to get family photos(events and travel) and are trying to buy DSLR please do your self a favor and try the mirrorless cameras first (Cannon should be coming out with a new EOS-M soon) . DSLRs come with a lot of baggage. All the beautiful photos that u see online are not only using DSLR but have considerable stabilizing equipment and do not forget that the photographer has considerable experience.For Hobbyists/Enthusiasts/ Price Conscious:This is a good camera for us till a full-frame with Video-AF is released by Canon.

This has been a great kit. Good starter package on a great camera. I am still on the "still" photography learning curve and will hopefully move into the video realm over the next couple of weeks. I have no issues with anything in the kit. I would mention that the tripod works great with my GoPro Hero 4 but will never ever have my Canon 70D on it, pretty light not sure why they put it in the Kit other then it looks cool in the picture. I have played with all the lens and they all worked delivering good everyday pictures. If you want professional quality pictures, you will need professional quality lens but for 90% of all you want for a travel or home camera what comes with this kit is great.

I really love this camera. Auto-Focus is crisp, Image Stabilization in the telephoto lenses, 7 shots per second continuous shooting, 20+ Megapixels, touch-screen, HD movie capability, and the availability of all those Canon accessories.
This package comes with 5 lenses and 2 add-on lenses (macro & telephoto). The Cannon 70D and the 5 Canon lenses individually cost as much as this kit. It also has one Cannon battery with charger, and two aftermarket batteries with their own charger (the aftermarket batteries are higher capacity, so I wouldn't try to swap chargers). Everything you would need to take a digital photography class. Some of the accessories are a French brand called X-it. They're all functional, though not as nice as the Canon branded products in this kit. It actually won't all fit in the camera bag which comes with the kit.
_____________________
10-WEEK UPDATE - I dropped a star because some of the non-Canon accessories are cheap crap. But I did the math again and its still a good value overall.
I still really love this camera kit. HOWEVER, a few of its parts ain't quite all that.
The included external flash is not Canon branded and DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CAMERA. OOPS!! The camera's built-in flash works well.
The kit comes with two generic batteries and their charger. They work, but they don't last as long as the Canon branded battery. The kit also comes with one Canon battery and charger. They are great.
NOTE: The Canon battery is rated at 1800 mAh. The generic (Halcyon) batteries claim 2400 mAh, which would be 33% GREATER power capacity. In reality, they last roughly half as long.
The included all-in-one card reader looks like it came out of a Cracker-Jack box. It WORKS VERY WELL and I now appreciate that it fits in the camera bag.
Its still a great value for the price. What if all you want is the camera body and one lens? The Canon EF-S 18-135 1:3.5-5.6 IS STM (included in this kit) is my new favorite lens of all time. I'm about to drop a gold nugget on its weather-sealed Pentax species for a K-50.
In general, I have tried to keep this review confined to my impression of the overall kit. In the interest of full disclosure, I must say these things: I looked at a Nikon D7100. Its like a luxury car with no features compared to the Canon.

I received my 70D ahead of ETA; thank you Amazon. The camera takes great pics especially in low light and great movies as well. I have not tried any of the movie editing capabilities; will report later. I am using the 18-135m kit lens.Please take the following comments with a grain of salt as I have only had this camera for one week and have only shot ~2500 pics so far. Interestingly enough the battery still has a charge left after all the pics and a dozen movie clips of some 41sec to 2min duration. I should note that I used the viewfinder primarily rather than the LCD screen for the pics.I found it very frustrating that the camera does not have a dedicated button for movies. Instead, you have to flip the switch and use the live view mode. I was attending a concert and wanted to alternate between pictures and movie clips. I had to switch back and forth and was frustrated as I prefer to use the viewfinder but HAVE to use live view for movies. I am comparing this to my Lumix FZ200 which takes just as good movies with a dedicated button and has a 600mm f2.8 Leika lens and cost 1/3 the price of the 70D. That is why I took one star away.I found the touch LCD and touch control screen on top of the 70D quite useful and adapted to them quickly. Not only do these allow you to change settings as needed, but this is also an excellent training tool in learning the trade offs and influences on each other when you change the various parameters (aperture, ISO, speed, etc.).As a side note, and not related to the 70D itself, I also ordered a lens hood and assorted filters [make sure you attach a UV, or other, filter immediately to protect the lens]. The lens hood I received was poor. Be careful and make sure that the hood you get can be applied together with the lens cap! This one did not go on if the lens cap was on, nor could you put the lens cap on if the hood was attached. It goes without saying that the hood was not reversible. Get a snap-on one rather than a screw on type.

I've used the 7D and 5D, mostly for video and I like this one better than those in that context. Firstly, it's up to Canon standard quality which is a very good thing. It's solidly well made even though I'd prefer a metal body but given my proximity to salt water this may be a good thing.
I like several things about the 70D over the 7D. Firstly is the touch screen. Whilst I still prefer the traditional video camera approach of having control switches on the body, I can get to any function I need, on screen, with a touch of my thumb. Not perfect but best I've seen from Canon.
Next, the flip out monitor screen. "So you mean I don't have to lie on the ground to get that shot?" Nope. Nor do I have to guess at what I'm getting when the camera's over my head. Why hasn't Canon made this standard for all of their bodies? Probably because some luck head will be careless and break it off. I may still do that but for the moment, I love it.
Best for last. Audio meters on screen whilst recording. Worst thing about DSLRs and video is the "guess and forget" approach to sound. I'd rather like a headphone jack on the body but until that happens I can live with this. They all don't have this, why?
I like the 18-150 lens but I'd like it to be faster. My XH A1 lens is 20x and starts at f2. The 55-250 has been good at getting in really close but has real problems with vignetting at the far end. You won't die from it but it's a long way from L series. The fact that it's made if polycarbonate doesn't bode well for longevity.
In the end it's a bundle with good value for a great kit. The vendor worked out a few niggles quickly and proactively. I appreciate that.

I'm very happy with my purchase. Almost all items arrived as mentioned in the bundle detail. Just one replacement battery was missing but I contacted Focus Camera and they sent me the missing battery (even a slittly better 2750 mAh) received 4 days after so very good customer support.
It is my first digital SLRs camera and I'll will need some time to use it well. Nevertheless the few pictures I already took in low light (with the 18-135 mm lens) were very nice.
This bundle contains all what it needed for begin with such camera (even more that what is needed) for a very good price.
The Focus SLR soft case (the small one) is a little small but enough to put the camera with the 18-135 mm lens on it (but without anything else inside). I'm not sure that this soft case will stay a long time as quality seems to be a little poor but it still nice for people like me (for who it is the first camera like this and who need a lot of small accessories to begin).
I'll update my comments after few weeks of camera test.

I have several Canon Cameras. I'm a pro. My specialty is product and jewelry photography, and some fashion. For Fashion I use Nikon D800, for everything else, Canons. Anyhow, we make promotional videos and have been using the 5D Mk ii and iii, and they are great, but auto focus is troublesome at best. So when I read about the 70D I decided to go for it with the 18-135 lens and a super fast 80mb/s transfer rate memory card, are real must for high end video. I chose the Wasabi spare batteries over Canon, always do because they are better than the original Canon Batteries and a lot more affordable, must have spares, and that was it for the purchase. When the camera arrived I jumped right in. If you have experience with Canon cameras it is easy to adapt. I went through everything without reading the manual, and then hit a snag with video audio levels, so then I went for the manual which was no help, so then to the info Disc that comes with all Canons. Ahhh, there it is. It is the single issue I have with the 70D... the audio control is buried and also not as flexible as it needs to be (NEEDS TO BE, hello Canon, READ THIS).Otherwise the video on the 70D is light years ahead of anyone else in DSLRs. The focusing system is killer, image quality is superb, and the audio, once found and set is sufficiently good, it is stereo.The still shots from the 70D are in line with a 5D mark ii. You can read the specs for the other features, that's not my job here.Some people said the camera feels cheap... not at all, not sure what crawled up their pipe to make them say that... you buy a 70D because you're not buying a 5D mk iii or 1DX. The one complaint I have of all Canon cameras is the software... it is lame compared to Nikon Software (they offer priced pro versions, Canon does not) you have to have PhotoShop when you have a Canon, and it makes no sense because I know Canon could easily enhance their editing software (NEEDS TO BE, hello Canon, READ THIS). Keep it in context and the 70D is the best all around camera Canon has ever made by far. I paid $1,199 on Amazon, look for that price, the package deals are not good deals yet, maybe in a year, but for now get the 70D with the 18-135mm STM lens and be super happy.

I just received my new CANON 70D a week ago. I have been reading every review that has come available on the Internet and also You-tube. I have also talked to a few Professionals who use CANON equipment to get their view. I will not bore you with all of my talk, but I will give you some things that I have found out since receiving my unit.AUTO FOCUSThis is a huge jump from my 60D. It has the 7D - 19 point AF and all cross point. It makes for a fast AF and cleaner photo's. I am amazed at how many more AF points lock onto a subject when using the auto focus sequence.DUAL PIXEL, LIVE VIEWI would think these go hand in hand, and they work quickly and well. The camera is quick to focus, acquires moving subjects and allows for great photo's. Very impressive upgrade from the LIVE VIEW on my 60D.VIDEOI shot a video today while at the zoo and the clarity was excellent, so was the color saturation. Full HD is by default and it is excellent for what I will use it for when traveling. I also was not using one of the new STM lenses and when zooming in and out, there wasn't any noise on the video. I was not using an external mic.I have tried all of the scene modes and found them to be a good selection. I like the HDR mode and also the multiple photo mode, something I guess people have been interested in seeing from CANON. I have been very impressed with the camera. It is a good upgrade from the 60D, it has much more to offer and the higher PIXEL Count shows up in the photo's, as does the increased FPM. 7 FPM seems so much faster than the 5.3 of the 60D.I have already recommended this to a couple of my friends who are looking into upgrading their equipment.11-07-2013I wanted to let people know that I am getting about 950 photo's and about 25 minutes of video per battery charge. I am not using Wi-Fi right now.3-9-2014went to the NUCLEAR COWBOYZ show and shot over 45 minutes of video and about 150 stills. Many of my video was at ISO 6400 as this was an indoor event. Outstanding quality with my 24-105mm, f/4, 'L' lens. Most of the stills were at ISO 6400-12800 and shot in sport mode for high speed. The quality is very good in the stills [I do not blow up to 10 times], and the video's were very good. I was amazed and the people who watched my video's in HD were surprised. Once more I know that I have a very good camera.

Although it's my very first DLSR, I think this camera is awesome! I wanted it for video purposes and to introduce me in the DLSR world, and I'm really satisfied. This bundle (including both 18-135mm and 55-250mm lenses) is a very good deal, and even if all the accessories are not really useful, it's nice to have some of them. I first received only 1 replacement battery instead of 2, but after simply writing to the seller, they are about to send me the missing one. The tripod is of low quality, but is really light, so as a first tripod, it is very welcome anyway. About the camera, you can find good reviews anywhere else, but I'd like to say that it took me only 1 day to understand and integrate all the parameters and settings (abuse youtube reviews and guides!). I definitely do not regret this purchase.
