Into Two days of full immersion camera in Siena with the new machine around his neck
The machine has excellent ergonomics, a compact body and a swivel screen 3” and 1,040,000 points. The display is so bright and definite that it is natural to touch , pity it is not touch [Edit: actually it is not, touch: the confusion stems from the fact that machines presented in the same event were two and, of course, was the other one that was not]. But the most interesting features are all inside. The APS-C sensor from 20.2 megapixels is radically new and is bringing technology dual pixel, also the debut, which allows for autofocus operate even when shooting high-definition video. A precious gift that makes a machine with a strong aptitude 70d video. In this sense, following the path taken earlier by Eos 7D SLR still appreciated by filmmakers despite four years of life on the rump.
That said, however, our field test was exclusively photo. The group of which were part has competed in two rounds: the first evening and we made shots at night between the districts of Siena for a low light experience really special. The sensitive range extends up to 12,800 ISO and up to ISO 3200 we found levels of picture noise very low. Coupled with a view to light, this value is advanced enough to capture beautiful shots and evening in a city full of art and other cues such as Siena, the Torre del Mangia to the darkest recesses, without a flash even once.
completely different genre the second test, set up ad hoc to put through the wringer autofocus and which had as its subject a ‘flock’ of birds of prey launched into flight by experienced falconers . After setting the drive of continuous shots and autofocus mode to servo (for following moving subjects), the car responded very well to subjects so elusive. To be clear, one of the birds of prey in question was a peregrine falcon, which, with its 300 km / h in a dive is absolutely the fastest animal on earth. Hard to imagine a more formidable testing ground for autofocus.
A challenge prohibitive that the autofocus to 19 points, all on the cross, has collected and satisfied quickly and clean, despite our lack of experience in this type of photography. Strong of the best motorized zoom from Canon, it was not difficult (after a few attempts) to capture images of appreciable eagles and other birds. It is not heresy to say that the camera also gives a nod to the Japanese sports photographers. A flurry in fact bring home 7 shots per second at the highest resolution, speed of execution is maintained for 65 to 16 RAW or jpeg in a row. An impressive firepower for a car of this age and still good enough, coupled with autofocus so effective, to resume a distance downhill or a lightning inverted Neymar.
After two days of heavy usage, a period of time already enough to get an idea, we are difficult to consider the 70D a simple consumer camera. On paper will only replace the 60D in the midrange, actually reads almost as a link among photo enthusiasts and those with photography there Campania. At a cost affordable all in all: lots of good things will cost, only for the body, 1184 € . Even so, if we consider that within a few months the real price usually drops by a couple of hundred bucks.
