Canon has announced the EOS 70D, replacing any found on the EOS 60D launched a little less than three years ago. He will work hard to compete with the Nikon D7100, but its advantages are numerous. It starts with an autofocus which may make sparks in video.
It took a little less than three years to replace his Canon SLR expert, the EOS 60D. A replacement that initially hides his game because if you look at the two boxes from the outside, the differences are quite small. The dimensions of the beast are almost unchanged (139 x 104.3 x 78.5 mm), as the weight (755 grams).
against the organization of the buttons has been revised to facilitate handling. The optical viewfinder is gaining coverage from 96 to 98%, and we find the touch screen of 3 inches pivoted, inherited the 650D and 700D for amateur shooting mode “live view”.
APS-C from 18 to 20 Megapixels. A relatively slight rise and then placed a little below the competition (24 megapixels on the D7100 for example). The latest image processor, DIGIC 5 + is obviously part and allows the reflex to pass the milestone of 7 frames per second burst mode and gain sensitivity as we move to the ISO 25600 maximum.
“DualAF” amazing fashion, but must prove
But it is through its AF mode “DualAF” Canon wants to make a difference. It is distinguished by the method. Normally, the focus is firstly coarsely then a second step is to finalize the work to find the focus point. But now, this very effective method in the world of photography is much less video.
the 70D, the focus is again achieved in two passes, but who want much more swift. The manufacturer states that each sensor pixel is divided into two sub-pixels, or 40 megapixels in total, two images are created in the first step of making the point. At the time of the final, the two images are then combined and the difference is calculated very quickly so that the objective lens fixed focus.
see what happens in practice and if it proves to be as effective announced by the Japanese brand. Anyway, the manufacturer indicates that it does not require specific objectives and EF, EF-S lenses and EX series Speedlites are compatible.
fact is that the EOS 70D allows you to record videos up to full HD at 23.976, 29.97 or 25 fps for up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds.
From
integrated Wi-Fi
of connectivity, there is a slot for a SDXC card (HDMI CEC compatible) output, a 3.5mm jack for an external stereo microphone and USB 2.0 port, which also serves as the analog video output . It also has a Wi-Fi chip, which should simplify the return of photos on his machine without the need to remove the card from the slot.
level accessories, know that the battery is identical to the EOS 60D. For cons, the manufacturer indicates a very slight loss of autonomy in passing as we move from 1100 to 920 shots per charge compared to the 60D.
The EOS 70D is announced at a price of 1099 euros naked. It will also be offered with a 18-55 mm f / 3,5-5,6 STM 1299 euros or 1499 euros with the 18-135 mm f / 3,5-5,6 STMLe . The set will be available in late August.
