The Canon EOS 70D is a digital single-lens reflex camera from Canon. The EOS 70D was announced on 2 July 2013, to replace the EOS 60D, and was first available in late 2013. It was replaced by the EOS 80D camera in 2016. The camera is available bundled with either the EF-S 18–55mm IS STM, EF-S 18–135mm IS STM, EF-S 18-200mm IS lens or as a body only.

The Canon EOS 70D is the launch platform for Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, which provides great improvement in focusing speed while in Live View, both for stills and video. At large apertures such as f/1.8, the 70D's Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus provides a significant improvement in focus accuracy and consistency over conventional autofocus.

Specification

Compared to the EOS 60D the following changes are made:

• 20.2 MP CMOS Sensor (18.1 MP CMOS on 60D)
• DIGIC 5+ (DIGIC 4 on 60D)
• 19pt AF System, all cross-type. Center point is high precision, double cross-type at f/2.8 or faster. (9 points, all cross-type on 60D)
• 98% viewfinder coverage, 0.95x magnification (96% coverage with same magnification for 60D)
• 7 frames per second continuous shooting (5.3 for 60D)
• Built-in Wi-Fi (not on 60D)
• 3″ Vari-Angle Touch Screen LCD (no touchscreen on 60D)
• ISO 12,800 maximum (25,600 expanded) – compare to 6,400 (12,800 expanded) on 60D
• Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus (only standard contrast-detection in live view on 60D)
  • Allows the use of high precision phase-detection autofocus in live view, functional across 80% of the frame down to 0EV and f/11
• Full HD EOS Movies
  • Digital Zoom in movie mode—offers a full HD crop from the center of the sensor for an approximate 3x zoom with no loss of image quality, plus a digitally interpolated 10x zoom (only previously available on 600D/Rebel T3i)
• AF microadjustment (was new to the 50D, but not present on the 60D)
  • The 70D allows microadjustment at both focal length extremes of the same zoom lens.
• HDR (not available in-camera on 60D)
• Multi exposure Mode (not available on 60D)
• Exposure bracketing of up to 7 frames (3 for 60D)
• One SD/SDHC/SDXC slot, fully exploiting UHS-I bus (UHS-I support is an upgrade compared to 60D)
• Viewfinder level indicator. The indicator remains active in autofocus mode until the shutter is released. (In earlier Canon bodies with this feature, the indicator remains fully active only in manual focus mode; if in autofocus mode, the indicator disappears from view once the shutter button is half-pressed for autofocus.)
