SLR camera canon eos 70d body. What glass to take

  • 30.05.2020

Probably, any work leaves a certain imprint on you. It's unavoidable. After starting work as a video editor, I can't just sit back and watch movies - I immediately see cuts, transitions, special effects and coloring. And working as a browser, I don’t just look at the devices that fall into my hands - I always start looking for the pros and cons.

One of the very interesting cameras and came to me for review. At first I thought that after FullFrame and the fact that quite a lot of devices passed through my hands, I was unlikely to be impressed with the novelty. More precisely, I expected that I would have in my hands just a solid and high-quality DSLR for enthusiasts. But the device still managed to impress me. The Canon EOS 70D won two 2014 TIPA Awards for Best Advanced SLR and Best Imaging Innovation for Dual Pixel CMOS AF for good reason. Let's take a closer look at her.

Video review Canon EOS 70D:

Appearance

The device is made of high quality polycarbonate. There can be no talk of any backlash, crunches, squeaks and other shortcomings of the assembly. At first glance, however, it seems that the carcass will be covered with permanent scratches, as careless contact with the nail leaves a bright white streak. But it turned out that the stripes are removed with microfiber very easily. The camera fits in the hand like a glove, the grip is typical for Canon. The rubber glued around the perimeter successfully performs the function of protection against sweaty hands - slipping was never noticed.

It is worth noting that dust and moisture protection is declared in the carcass ..

Sizes are average. Closest - ) and Canon 60D. At the same time, there are a number of features.

On the front side there is a battery grip, a diaphragm repeater button and a bayonet release button. A little higher and to the left of the mount is the flash open button. It is incredibly convenient, as it only works when the device is turned on. This means that the lighting element cannot be opened by accidental pressing in the bag.

On the bottom side there is a tripod socket and a battery compartment.

On the right is a slot for an SD memory card. I would like to see two slots here, but for most, this, in fact, is not necessary.

On the left side, under the rubber plugs, there are various ports: for an external microphone, remote control, HDMI and A / V Out. For a complete picture, it remains only to add a headphone output. Although the built-in stereo microphones record sound perfectly. And if necessary, you can always use an external recorder, then synchronize the picture and sound in one click in the video editor.

At the upper end, the space is organized quite standardly - it is divided into two parts by a pentaprism block with a hot shoe and a flash. On the left is the PASM mode selection wheel with a lock button, custom, custom, and so on. Below it is the on/off switch for the device.

On the right is a large backlit monochrome screen for displaying additional information, a shutter button, a parameter change wheel. Between them is a small key responsible for using an array of autofocus points - options are available for a single point, zone or the entire array. Above the screen are five buttons: AF, Drive, ISO, exposure metering, secondary display backlight.

The rear panel is almost completely given over to a three-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 480 pixels, which is standard by today's standards. The image is clear and bright, it is enough even for sighting on a bright sunny day.

The display is 2-axis rotatable, which provides impressive freedom of action and creativity - no problem to shoot photos or videos at a concert above the heads of the fans, or do the same from the ground when capturing all sorts of insects and animals. Fans of “selfies” will also be delighted - a self-portrait with a girl by the arm will not be difficult. In addition, the screen is also touch-sensitive, which significantly increases the efficiency of working with the device. And if I don't use TapToShot, I have to admit that quickly changing parameters or focus points during the same video recording without the noise of mechanical buttons and camera shake is a huge plus. Yes, and viewing photos at certain moments is easier and more familiar with swipes, like on a smartphone.

To the left of the viewfinder, in the upper corner, are the Menu and Info buttons. The viewfinder itself is optical, with 98% field coverage and 0.95x magnification. A little to the right is the diopter adjustment wheel.

The right side of the carcass is the main array of buttons, wheels and levers.

Directly below the thumb are the Af-On, Zoom In/Out keys.

Right next to the viewfinder is the Start / Stop button (to record video or turn on LiveView in a photo) and the switch lever to photo / video mode.

Below is the Q quick settings button, content review, a five-way joystick with a SET button in the center, deleting pictures, and an AF point lock lever. The joystick is framed by a second wheel rapid change shooting parameters, and it could be more convenient - sometimes slips are possible when turning with your fingers.

There are not so many changes in terms of ergonomics with its predecessor, but, as for me, they are more than significant.

Inside

APS-C 20MP CMOS sensor. The photosensitive element copes with its function with a bang - the pictures are detailed, beautiful, rich and detailed. What does the white balance and exposure correctly set on the machine as in good conditions as well as in low light. The dynamic range is enough to shoot scenes in difficult lighting conditions. For situations like “background sun, you need to work out clouds and buildings”, you should still use HDR. By the way, there is an automatic setting of the advanced dynamic range with plug up to +/- 3eV.

I am also glad that with one click you can take all the indicators of saturation, temperature and other things to zero - this greatly facilitates the post, especially if painting is planned.

Burst speed - 7 frames per second. This is enough for most amateurs when shooting sports events and any other dynamics. The buffer is sufficient for most users - 7 RAW+Jpeg/13 RAW/26 Jpeg per burst. Such results are obtained when writing to a fast memory card (its review). I would like a little more, but real life this is enough. And when you remember the much more modest indicators of the Nikon D7100 (less burst speed and less buffer), then you begin to enjoy life altogether.

ISO values ​​are from 100 to 12800 units. The extension is up to 25600. Only professional reporters may need large values.

Up to 3200, you can not only send it to the web, but even send it to A3 print. If the photo was taken without blurring and with the correct exposure, then the detail will remain excellent even at the highest values. For that, you have to be grateful for the clever in-camera noise reduction settings that strike a good balance between detail and grain suppression. Starting with the 6400, some RAW editing is required, but not critical - you can print. But for the most the best works It is better to limit yourself to A4 format. You can print pictures with ISO 12800, but here you will have to work in a photo editor to achieve the desired result.

autofocus

The 19-point focusing module went to the "seventies" from the legendary 7D, and that's wow.

The main feature of this module is that all 19 points are cross points (against 15 for the D7100 with a total of 51). Consequently, the aiming speed is greater and autofocus clings to the target more tenaciously.

Secondly, the focus points are more or less evenly spaced across the frame, in contrast to the same Nikon D7100, where all points are grouped in the center. This has the best effect on the convenience of shooting portraits when you need to aim at the eyes at the extreme points of the frame.

Thirdly, Canon pioneered the DualPixel CMOS AF system in the Canon EOS 70D. This is a special type of matrix, each cell of which consists of two halves: one half is used for focusing, and image information is read from both. When sighting and aiming through the viewfinder, it’s not really possible to feel the difference, unless you want more dots at the edges. But when you switch to LiveView, you understand how cool it is. Aiming over the entire array of points, tapping on the screen, aiming at a single point - all this works noticeably faster than in all previous devices. By the way, this method autofocus works even in video mode, but more on that later.

Not to mention the tracking constant autofocus. Probably, this is one of those things that make you want to buy this unit. It works as follows: turn on tracking mode, tap on the screen on the point where we want to keep focus, and simply move the camera. The automation will do everything else for you, without releasing the object from its tenacious paws. It is very convenient, for example, when shooting genre photos: you understand that something interesting is about to happen, tap on a person and just wait, without worrying at all, that he will go somewhere, come out of the depth of field.

Additionally

Of the additional settings - multiple exposure, the choice of various aspect ratios of the image up to 1: 1, fast image processing and, of course, Wi-Fi. The principle of operation is the same: download EOS Remote from the AppStore/GooglePlay, connect and be able to fumble, watch, print photos. Or control the carcass through your phone instead of purchasing a remote control. Only now this thing works much better than in the "six" - there are practically no lags, delays, everything is smooth and good.

Management is the simplest thing. After launching the application, we get to the menu, from where you can go to view the captured images or directly to the remote control. From the settings - everything you need - changing exposure compensation, shutter speed, aperture, ISO and, of course, shutter release. And most importantly, all this is out of the box, and not through additional modules, like some competitors. But remotely recording video when connected via Wi-Fi is not yet possible. Apparently, due to the large flow of “heavy” data that needs to be transmitted over the air.

Video filming

This is the second thing that might make you want to buy this camera.

Video is recorded in 24/25/30p FullHD, 50/60p HD. Sighting on the folding screen is pleasant and convenient. Write sound to an external microphone? Yes please! To make life easier at the stage of painting? We take everything to zero and correctly select the white balance. Ask what's special? - Autofocus.

Yes, smart focusing also works in video, and besides, it does it very correctly. You can use all the advantages - for example, you can simply assign a person's face to tracking autofocus and simply move the camera - the point will tirelessly follow the object. The second point is the possibility of smooth and cinematic redirection. You don’t have to remember the position of the focus ring, now everything is simple: we shoot an object in the foreground, tap on the screen - and the sharpness is smoothly and beautifully transferred to the object in the background. And it's very cool.

Even automatic constant focus sometimes helps out - you shoot a person, a car brakes sharply in front of him (behind which the person is hiding) - the camera redirects the sharpness to the car, the viewer knows that this is how it was intended. The main thing is not to forget to block the focus when the static is removed, and some object may appear in the foreground. When I shot the Chop-Chop hair salon, the camera, instead of shooting the reflection of the person in the mirror, constantly tried to refocus on the hands of the mr in the foreground.

There is one more thing worth mentioning. Probably solo videographers rarely come across such a thing as timecode.

I'm a little smarter. Timecode is a record of the start and end times of a video. The idea is that when shooting with two or more cameras, you can synchronize them according to the time code (using the built-in tools or external recorders), and then simply synchronize the video tracks at the post stage and work in a multiclip. This greatly simplifies the life of the editor and saves valuable time. But! There is no time code in any DSLR (at least I have not seen it). And when shooting with several cameras at the post stage, you have to synchronize with the handles and work in the normal clip mode.

The Canon 70D is a timecode DSLR, which means you don't have to worry anymore, just set the same time on all carcasses and enable this option. As a result, the video will not be recorded as “MOV_001 00:00-00:15; MOV_002 00:00-00:25", but as "MOV_001 00:00-00:15; MOV_002 00:20-00:30" and so on.

But it is also worth noting that tracking autofocus during long recording in this mode can overheat the matrix faster, which can affect both video quality and shooting time - you have to pause for coffee.

  • 70D is slightly smaller than its predecessor.
  • The 70D has swapped some buttons, added new levers, which had a positive effect on ergonomics.
  • The 70D has a new Digic 5+ image processor.
  • The 70D has a new sensor that uses part of the pixels for autofocus, resulting in a significantly increased focusing.
  • The 70D has an autofocus module from the legendary Canon 7D - 19 points, all cross-point, which increases the speed of focusing.
  • The 70D has built-in Wi-Fi, allowing you to control the camera remotely via your smartphone.
  • The 70D supports auto focus and continuous focus even in video mode, allowing you to create cinematic effects and simplify the work of the operator.
  • The 70D has a touchscreen display that greatly improves the usability of the camera, especially when using tripods or glide.
  • The 70D has the same viewfinder as the 7D and 5DMIII.

What glass to take

- an inexpensive must-have lens that turns into a bright portrait lens on a crop. With such glass, you can perfectly shoot people, an object, a street - everything that comes to mind. And for only 100 bucks.

- Another lens that is suitable for every day. The compact size, 60mm equivalent focal length and quiet motor are suitable for versatile shooting of both photos and videos. Only 200 dollars.

- a faster version of the "fifty dollars" for every day, only with an ultrasonic motor. Worth 400 bucks.

- for $350 you get an excellent manual fish that is suitable for both video and photo. After all, it is known that fisheye makes everything better. True, only manual focusing.

- another must-have in a case. The cost is about $ 900, but this representative of the Art series will give you a lot of impressions from shooting and, perhaps, fall in love with yourself so much that you will forget about the existence of other optics.

- Expensive (about $900), not as bright as it could be (at least F2.8), but at the same time complete versatility, regardless of the needs for video or photography.

Following a good tradition, there is something to say about Canon 70D- a camera that made the purchase of the flagship, among Canon models with an APS-C sensor, the EOS 7D camera, in many ways meaningless. Currently among amateur Canon cameras with a cropped sensor, this is my absolute favorite and a candidate for the title of the best blogging DSLR in the Canon lineup in terms of combination of qualities.

The 70 is ahead of the 7 in most of the important points for a amateur photographer - ergonomics, picture quality, focusing system, it is much better as a tool for a videographer and it has a reversal screen, useful for shooting from uncomfortable positions. In addition, it is much faster than the 60D in continuous shooting and only a little slower than the 7D - it can beat at 7 FPS to 65 JPEG or 16 RAW in burst. For reportage photography, this is a very worthy indicator.

If the Canon 700D has not changed much compared to the 650D, then the Canon 70D after the 60D is a significant step forward on all counts. I would even note that the model has absorbed the best of the entire line from 700D to 6D inclusive - a flip screen, Wi-Fi, autofocus, it is important that a number of functions have returned to the Canon 70D that were "cut out" in the sixtieth, including fine tuning lenses to back / front focus through the menu. The conventional focusing system is carried over from the 7D, and together with "matrix autofocus" (phase focusing by the sensor's pixels), this is the most serious autofocus upgrade in the "two-digit" EOS line since the 20D (when 9-point autofocus came into the series).

UPD: my other posts on Canon 70D:



  • (with modeling light and flashes)






In the photo Canon 70D with the new Canon EF 24-70 F4L IS USM lens - this lens replaced the 24-105 F4L IS USM, it is sharper, more compact, more interesting in the picture but provides a smaller range of focal lengths. For those who did not plan to buy new versions of lenses, and I recommend my old post with reflections "".

The image is processed by Digic5 + (migrated from the 5D Mark III), which also provides more effective noise reduction, which is important both when shooting video and when photographing at high ISOs. Let's go in order.

Review Canon 70D | Sensor and picture

The Canon 70D uses a new 20.2-megapixel sensor that has not been used in previous Canon cameras, 80% of the surface of which is occupied by phase focus sensors. This means that in Liveview mode, the camera supports full-fledged autofocus, including tracking (including "by faces"), and it works even with very "dark" lenses, and not only with fast optics.

It is stated that autofocus using phase sensors will work at illumination of 0 EV (classic phase autofocus sensors are sensitive to -0.5 EV), while it will also function with f / 11 lenses. For understanding: this means that by mounting a 2x teleconverter on an f / 5.6 lens, you will get working autofocus. This was problematic, and often impossible, for older autofocus systems, even in flagship units (1D/1Ds). I tried the Canon 70D's autofocus system in action and was pleasantly surprised by the grip, speed and responsiveness on USM lenses.

Canon 70D's native sensor sensitivity range extends from ISO 100 to 12800, expandable up to ISO 25600 (you'll need to turn it on via the menu). There is no ISO 50, but I recently explained why you should not use it. For comparison, the Canon 60D and 7D are limited to the 100-6400 range with an extension of up to 12800. At the same time, the 7D Auto ISO range is completely slaughtered at a maximum of 3200 units, because even at this sensitivity the picture is quite grainy, and ISO 6400 should be used at maximum caution and understanding that the output will be a result that will have to work hard.

How is the Canon 70D picture? Everything is not bad - before preparing this review, I tried to subjectively assess the possibilities. I could safely print the result at ISO6400 on A2 format, without additional processing. ISO 12800 is of course grainy, including color noise is noticeable in JPEG with basic noise reduction settings, but a fairly clean and detailed picture easily stretches from RAW, which can be used for printing on the same A3. 25600 is also quite possible to use, with additional noise reduction - in JPEG, violet creeps in the shadows, which is not strong and is easily compensated.

In principle, for a blog (even with large images), the possibilities provided at the maximum ISO are more than enough. Compared to the Canon 6D, the 70D sensor is somewhere "on a step" or a step a little more noisy (ISO 12800 on 70D is comparable to ISO 25600 on 6D). If we take the lower range and JPEG, then ISO 1600 at 70D is comparable to ISO 4000 at six. Comparing in the opposite direction, the Canon 70D is somewhere a step better than the 7D / 60D.

Pictures are written in JPEG or 14-bit RAW, like previous cameras RAW is available in all types, including M-RAW and S-RAW for those who would like to save space on a flash drive, but have full post-processing capabilities. Of course, S/M-RAW can be written in combination with JPEG.

Review Canon 70D | autofocus

Key technical feature Canon 70D sensor is the presence of dual photodiode pixels on the matrix, which work both as sensors for obtaining an image, and as phase detection autofocus sensors. Phase sensors on the matrix are no longer a new technology, since 2010 it has slowly penetrated the market, mainly in mirrorless cameras. The difference here is that on other cameras, only a small part of the pixels work for phase focus (which worsens its efficiency and coverage area), and technologically these pixels themselves are not good enough to work normally also on getting a picture.

Canon managed to get around this point, and make it so that the pixels of the matrix can work as phase sensors without compromising their image quality. Moreover, from a technical point of view, the pixels themselves are made elegantly - instead of masking part of the photodiode, Canon simply used two photodiodes in each pixel. Someday I'll write more about how it all works - terribly interesting technology. With phase focusing in LiveView mode, smile tracking is possible, that is, continuous tracking focusing on a person's face. Thumbs up.

Another interesting thing is that the focus point can be selected with a finger on the touch screen. And this allows, in the video recording mode, for example, to shift focus from person to person with a simple light poke with a fingertip, without jerking the camera.

The phase "mirror" focusing system migrated to the 70D from the Canon 7D - 19 points that can be used in groups. In this case, all points are of the cross type. I, where you can clearly see what exactly you are getting in the viewfinder.

Review Canon 70D | Housing, ergonomics and menu

The body of the Canon 70D is largely identical to the 60D, but the buttons and their layout have changed noticeably. The disk began to rotate 360 ​​degrees (I wrote about the modes in the post: ""). A button for switching focus modes has appeared (near the top control wheel), the rear dial lock has changed (important for those who wear the camera without turning it off around their neck) - now it is a trigger, like on the good old 20D-50D and older series cameras, and not a button like on 60d.

The LiveView power button has acquired a photo-video switch, the basket for deleting photos has moved down, under the control dial, and the Menu and Info buttons to the right, under the switch. The location of the Q button (quickly changing parameters through the screen) and the [>] button for viewing the footage have also changed - they are clearly more convenient to press with the thumb of the right hand when you hold the Canon 70D with one hand. I would call the control more thoughtful and optimized compared to the 60D, and even more so the completely outdated Canon 7D.

Otherwise: good old modern plastic, built-in flash, buttons are grouped to the right of the flip screen. The screen itself with a resolution of 1040K pixels has become touch, in the manner of the 700D. In some cases, this simplifies control, and although this menu is one of the best for DSLRs, if I were Canon, I would have thought about a radical redesign and bringing it closer to smartphones in terms of control principles. Some things could be made easier - swipes, gestures, etc. This is all the more important, given that the Canon 70D menu has been enriched with a huge number of items, there are now just a lot of color tabs. Here .

On the front of the Canon 70D body there is a button for estimating the depth of field (closes the aperture, bottom left under the bayonet), a button for ejecting the flash and unlocking the lens for replacement (to the right of the bayonet):

On the upper part, to the right of the flash socket, there is a classic monochrome LCD screen for the “three-digit” series, which displays key information about the camera settings, plus a number of typical buttons - backlight, burst speed, backlight. Added a button to select between focus point modes.

Pay attention to the tactile markings of the buttons near the LCD screen. This allows them to be operated blindly.

The only gripe about ergonomics that I have for almost all older Canon cameras is that they still cannot be turned on discreetly with one hand while walking down the street.

Review Canon 70D | Rest

Viewfinder: pentaprism, with a coverage of 98% of the frame and an increase of 0.95x (the 60D had 96%, but the seven was better in this regard - 100% and 1.0x). There is an OSD - on top of the optical viewfinder, you can display a composition grid, variable groups of focus points, etc. - a step up from the 60D.

Shooting and parameters: shutter speed from 30 seconds (without remote control) to 1/8000 second, synchronization with studio flashes at speeds up to 1/250 second, exposure compensation up to 5 steps up and down, exposure bracketing up to +/- 3 steps and up to 7 frames, by white balance up to 3 frames. All exposure parameters and brackets are adjustable in 1/3-stop increments. There is a “quiet” frame-by-frame and continuous shooting mode, high-speed and slow modes (configured through the menu). Buffer in series up to 16 RAW and up to 65 JPEG. Fire rate up to 7 fps (Canon 7D up to 8 FPS, 60D had 5.3 FPS). In general, everything is at the level of professional cameras.

Built-in Flash: guide number 12, can work as a wireless (optical) master for an external flash system. That is, you can buy one or more external flash units like Canon Speedlite 4xx/5xx/6xx for the Canon 70D and control them without an additional transmitter. I . The flash can work in the focus assist mode in the dark.

Battery: fortunately, the same one remained - LP-E6 as in 60D/7D/6D/5D Mark III. One battery for such a line of devices is good, and there are enough chargers on the market, and affordable analogues. According to the CIPA resource measurement standard, the battery should be enough for 920 shots, as my practice shows, we can confidently talk about 2-2.5 thousand or more photos from a single charge (I wrote about this in a separate post:).


Carrier: photos and videos are recorded on SD memory cards. Unfortunately, there is only one slot, but it supports SDHC / SDXC (the other day I saw SDXC for 128 gigabytes for 3000 rubles in the subway), and there is also full support for UHS-I, that is, fast memory cards with a write speed of over a hundred megabytes per second. To fully reveal the possibilities of fast burst shooting in a reportage, it makes sense to take fast flash drives such as the Sandisk Extreme Pro.

Video: up to 1080p/30 and 720p/60 encoded in H.264 with stereo audio. There is a jack for a microphone or a lavalier. Given its tracking autofocus, which works well on USM motor lenses (not just STMs), this makes the Canon 70D an interesting videographer's tool, more interesting than most other models. If compared with the 5D Mark III, then the main plus is autofocus in video mode and the transfer of focus points with a finger across the screen, the minus is more noise at high ISOs, less depth of field on fast optics.

WiFi: support for remote control (including from a smartphone), transferring images to smartphones / tablets and a computer.

Connection: HDMI for video output, USB for data transfer and communication with a computer.

Review Canon 70D | Outcome

The Canon 70D is a major step in the evolution of the double digit lineup, one of the most significant upgrades since the existence of this segment of Canon cameras. An excellent new hybrid focusing system in Liveview, the appearance of a more advanced classic phase focusing, improved ergonomics and control, including Wi-Fi support, are obvious advantages of the camera. The new 20.2-megapixel sensor gives a less noisy picture than on all cameras from 100D to 7D inclusive (based on the "good old" 18-megapixel sensor), while providing sufficient rate of fire for reportage shooting, coupled with a sufficient amount of buffer memory. The swivel touch screen is a good tool for shooting from awkward positions. Generally, good camera for all major scenarios - from studio and wedding photography before reporting and blogging, the best option in the Canon range on a 1.6x crop sensor (APS-C).

The most important:


  • Phase-tracking autofocus in Liveview mode, works with very dark lenses

  • Good classic autofocus - 19 cross points, different modes - at the 7D level

  • Good rate of fire and buffer - only 7D (by 1 frame per second) and 1D X (one and a half times) are faster

  • Rotatable touch screen - easy to shoot from the floor and overhead

  • Good detail (20.2 megapixels)

  • In terms of noise between 7D and 6D - a good picture up to ISO 6400, with processing you can use 25600 without problems

  • Supports SDXC and UHS-I - the largest and fastest SD

  • Built-in Wi-Fi: control, transfer, pair with Android and iOS

More detailed Canon review 70D with sample photos I will write after a long field test.

As always, I have posts about photography for beginner amateur photographers.

Whale Lens: Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Compare with Canon EOS 100D (since we decided to compare the junior and senior cameras in the 100D - 700D - 70D line). The younger model is actually twice as light. But this model has a swivel display, a more interesting matrix, a separate slot for a memory card (not combined with a battery, like the 100D), built-in Wi-Fi, more convenient controls (more buttons), a noticeably more powerful battery and there is a second LCD display. Well, there are other less important differences as well. Contents of delivery Traditional Kenon style. Strictly but tastefully. Because the main thing is not the shell. The main thing is inside. And inside: a camera, a lens, an LC-E6E charger with a cable, a wide strap, an interface cable for connecting via USB, an eyecup, brochures, a software disk.
Appearance and control The Canon EOS 70D camera was announced in the summer of 2013 and went on sale quite recently - by winter. This model is an evolution of the Canon EOS 60D amateur camera, but at the same time it uses technologies and features that are already typical for Canon semi-professional cameras - for example, the Canon EOS 7D. The body of the camera is based on a magnesium alloy chassis, lined with traditional black matte plastic, resistant to mechanical stress, finished with rubber at the points of contact with the photographer's hand and fingers, so that the camera is very comfortable in the hand. The materials and build quality are excellent, the camera is very nice to hold in your hands. Well, thanks to the dimensions, it lies better in the hand than the same Canon EOS 100D, which is both smaller and noticeably lighter. This kit lens - Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM - is rather big and weighs 480 grams, but even noticeably heavier lenses with this camera are perceived quite normally, thanks to the weighty body.

It uses a flip-down swivel display, thanks to which you can control the frame and shoot by raising the camera high above your head or lowering it to the level of the codpiece or at least to the ground. (In reportage shooting, the camera often has to be raised or lowered overhead, and I really missed the rotary display in the Canon EOS 100D.)


The SD card slot is located under a separate cover on the right side, above the slot there is an indicator for writing data to the card. The compartment with a cover for the battery is traditionally located on the right side of the bottom of the case. (Let me remind you that in the EOS 100D the memory card slot is located next to the battery, which is noticeably more inconvenient to use.)
On the left side, under two rubber protective covers: an external microphone output, a remote control output, an HDMI output, and an audio and video output.

Now let's talk about controls. Front part. On the right - the lens unlock button, the flash activation (raise) button, the depth of field viewing button (closing the aperture to the set value), the shutter button located on the beveled top edge.

The controls are on the top edge - we'll take a closer look at them below.
Left side: wheel for changing shooting modes (unlocked only when the top button is pressed), on-off switch of the device.
Right part. Below the shutter button is the AF area selection button. Below is the geared main control dial. Below it are buttons for individual settings: autofocus mode selection, shooting mode, ISO, exposure metering, display backlight.
The back of the camera. On the top left are the "menu" and "information" buttons. To the right of the viewfinder is the diopter adjustment. Below is a Start/Stop button with a "Video/Photo" switch: in "Video" mode, turn on/off video recording; in "Photo" mode, this button switches the camera from the viewfinder to LiveView mode when the frame is evaluated on the display. I must say right away that this switch is made very inconvenient: it is not easy to switch it and you do not always understand what position it ended up in. Below is the "magic" Q button to enable settings via the touch screen, a footage review button, a Navipad with a second notched ring and a central Set button, a delete button and a lock lever.
Top right on the back of the camera: focus lock button, exposure lock button, and focus point selection button. The last two buttons in the material view mode work to zoom in and out.
An important point: the functionality of almost any control button in the camera can be redefined! Let's visually compare the EOS 70D with the Sony RX10, which has a lens with almost the same range of focal lengths in 35mm equivalent: 24-200 for the Sony and 29-216 for the 70D. At the same time, Sony has an aperture ratio of 2.8 over the entire range of focal lengths.
However, it is clear that the comparison is incorrect, since Sony has a completely different matrix with a crop of 2.7. On a sensor like the 70D, this lens would have a range of roughly 14-116mm equivalent. And it remains to be seen whether this lens from the RX10 would cover the entire frame of the matrix with a crop of 1.6. Well, let's put the Canon EOS 100D and Canon EOS 70D side by side - just to compare the sizes of the carcasses, since they have different lenses (the 100D has 18-55 mm).
Camera features - purely technical details A completely new 20.2 MP matrix is ​​installed here, with phase detection sensors located directly on it: each pixel here consists of two photodiodes that can work independently or together. This technology allows you to achieve really fast autofocus in Live View and when shooting movies. (The Canon EOS 100D's Live View and video focusing is very slow.) The phase (mirror) focusing system comes from the Canon 7D: 19 cross-type points that can be grouped. The DIGIC 5+ processor (the same is installed in the 6D and 5D Mark III models) is responsible for the processing speed in the camera. Displays and shooting Here, of course, there is a second display - a small backlit LCD. Such a display is one of the main features of modern SLR cameras, and it is absent only in completely junior models like 100d. I must say that this display is a very useful thing (especially for those amateurs who understand the meaning of the words ISO, shutter speed, aperture, shooting mode, metering method), as it allows you to see the value of the set parameters without bringing the viewfinder or large display to your eyes.

In DSLRs, a large display, as a rule, works quite differently than in mirrorless ones. In DSLRs, it is most often used not to evaluate the frame being shot, but to obtain information about the modes and settings set. It can also display the frame just made - for a given number of seconds. (Usually set two seconds, no more.)

In modern SLR cameras (and, of course, in this camera as well), the display is touch-sensitive and you can set many shooting parameters directly on the screen. To avoid accidental unnecessary triggers (which the Canon EOS M showed us in all its glory), only the on-screen "Q" button is active on the display. If you press it (or the Q button on the body of the device), then the display will activate those parameters that you can change in the selected shooting mode, and all this can be done with your fingers. In the next screenshot, all parameters for P mode (software machine with the ability to customize most of the parameters for yourself) have been activated.

This is a specific setting.

The display can be turned off using the Info button, although this makes very little sense, or you can display an electronic level on it - this is very useful when shooting from a tripod.

Using the Start / Stop button in photo mode, the display can be switched to Live View mode - this is when you can evaluate the frame being shot on the display, and not on the viewfinder. In this case, the shooting mode is very similar to mirrorless: when both the frame and the shooting parameters are controlled through the display. Let me remind you that Live View still allows you to see on the display the correctness of the set shooting parameters: if, for example, you shoot in manual mode and the set exposure is not enough to get a high-quality frame, you will see from the image on the display that the picture is very dark.

You can display the histogram in real mode.

Output of the electronic level.

Interestingly, the Canon EOS 100D's focusing is noticeably slower in this mode, and it's more difficult to use Live View there (and sometimes it's almost impossible). In the screenshot above, you can see that here you can turn on the point and shoot mode by touch. LiveView on DSLRs is usually used for shooting video. STM lenses (this one is installed here) are distinguished by the fact that they have silent tracking focus - this is very valuable when shooting video. Well, when shooting video, touching the screen can make the camera focus on the point you need (for example, on the face of a person). In the media view mode, you can get both full and reduced information for each frame.

Using the zoom in and out buttons, you can view frames both in preview mode (9 frames per screen) and view individual sections of the frame.

Working with Wi-Fi There is a built-in Wi-Fi module, which opens up many useful features.

With it, you can:

    transfer images between Canon cameras; send images to smartphones/tablets; send media data to a computer; control the camera remotely; print on a wireless printer.
Remote control is carried out using the EOS Utility application (there are versions for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets). By the way, it looks very interesting: in fact, you control the camera from the computer as if you were using the Live View mode on the camera. Menu cameras Canon SLR cameras have a detailed, convenient and understandable menu. Groups of settings are divided into tabs, while vertical scrolling in the tabs is not required, everything fits on one screen. Here is a set of all camera settings that, in principle, do not require comments: they usually make everything clear anyway.

Does she even know how to shoot? I took a lot of pictures with this camera, took it on several trips, conducted its comparative testing with the Sony RX10. So I had the opportunity to evaluate the work of the 70D in "combat" modes. For starters - raw shots from various shooting modes: to evaluate what comes out from under her "pen" before processing. Raw refers to RAW images that were developed in Lightroom without any presets or adjustments, and then compressed at 90 percent quality to JPEG at a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. There is also a regular in-camera JPEG, which was simply compressed at 90 percent quality to 1920 pixels in ACDSee Pro 7. All photos are clickable, open at 1920 pixels in width. Sunset photos.



Fair.

This is just taken with the display turned down.






Twilight.


Room, artificial lighting.

Strong zoom is the longest focus.




On a long focus - to "blur" the backdrop.

Longest focus.





Longest focus.
Next comes the evening / night shooting, while I specifically turned off the noise reduction. ISO 1000, twilight.
ISO 6400. Quite working, especially when the sky is not visible.
ISO6400.
ISO6400.
ISO 12800.
ISO 6400. Here and below in the sky, of course, "noise" climbed. It is removed from RAW, and the in-chamber noise reduction is also, in general, removed decently. It was just interesting for me to see what the camera produces without noise reduction. (Because, for example, the Fujifilm X-M1, according to tests, crushes noise just fine, and if you look at the whole picture, it specifically “smears”. However, a separate review will soon be about it and its features.)
ISO6400.
Well, the same frame processed by noise reduction in Lightroom.
Very cloudy weather.
The same scene taken with in-camera HDR (three shots that the camera merges into one). Not impressive, right? However, there clearly needs to be more exposure spacing: I didn’t deal with this, I don’t like automatic HDR. (Yes, and non-automatic - too.)
And this is what was made from the first frame without any HDR in about five seconds in Lightroom.
Well, it’s clear that if you spend a couple of minutes on it, you can do it quite well. (I immediately recall the phrase of Sergei Doli, said by him in that time, as I filmed in HDR Well, the video was filmed on the street at a "medieval" fair. Battery life It uses the same LP-E6 battery as the 60D, 7D, 6D, 5D Mark III. That is, a standard battery that can be bought anywhere and analogues of which can be bought anywhere. The manufacturer promises that the camera can take about 900 shots on a single charge - yes, practice has confirmed this. Moreover, she takes about 920-950 shots in the usual mode: with a two-second preview of the result, without turning off the camera manually, and so on. If you save the charge - practically do not use the display, turn off the camera when it is not needed, and so on - then on a single charge you can take about one and a half thousand pictures and even more. Observations in the process of use and conclusions In my opinion, the camera is just great. I am very pleased with the way it shoots, and with it even a completely compromise kit lens showed quite decent results. Although it is clear that such a camera needs more serious glasses: a fast wide-angle lens of about 35 mm equivalent, a good zoom of 24-70 or 24-105 mm equivalent, a portrait lens, and so on. The camera turned out for all occasions: it is very convenient to shoot all sorts of creative stories, reporting, video, it works great in Live View mode, gives very natural colors (here Canon EOS 100D noticeably "yellowed" on certain scenes), behaves well on high ISO. The price of 46 thousand rubles for a camera of this level seems quite reasonable. When you pick it up after the Canon EOS 100D (which, I note, as a starting amateur DSLR is very good) - you understand why you can calmly put up with the fact that it is noticeably larger and noticeably heavier: this is completely justified by the opportunities that this camera. Another thing is whether you will use these opportunities or not - this is for everyone to determine for himself.

Canon has introduced a new model in the EOS series, the EOS 70D. Designed for advanced amateur photographers, this camera is said to be an excellent choice for those looking to develop their skills.

« I was very impressed with the amount and variety of new technologies implemented simultaneously in the EOS 70D, says Brutus Östling, Canon Ambassador. — The EOS 70D is a great camera for anyone looking to develop their photography skills. Not only does it help you capture people, nature, and action shots with ease and high quality, but it also offers Full HD movie recording at a focusing speed that I still thought was impossible. This camera has proven itself in the most difficult conditions. The new generation of technologies easily coped with all the tasks that I set for it - the new Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology demonstrated especially good results. It truly takes DSLR photography and videography to the next level.».

The main features of the Canon EOS 70D:

    20.2MP APS-C CMOS image sensor

    DIGIC 5+ processor

    19-point cross-type AF system

    7 fps continuous shooting

    Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology

    Immediate data transfer and Wi-Fi remote control

    Sensitivity ISO 12800 (expandable to H: 25600)

    7.7 cm ClearView II vari-angle LCD touchscreen

    Intelligent Viewfinder

    Full HD video recording

The Canon EOS 70D is an upgraded version of the EOS 60D that retains most of the features of its predecessor (including a large and bright pentaprism viewfinder, a fast shutter speed of 1/8000s, and so on), but with a number of major improvements.

One of the biggest improvements is Canon's new APS-C 20.2MP CMOS sensor. All the “salt” of the novelty lies in the new structure of the Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, which provides smooth and accurate auto focus adjustment during Full HD movie recording, as well as fast autofocus during Live View photography. This technology is based on an advanced CMOS image sensor architecture. Inside each pixel of this sensor are two photo diodes, which can be read independently for autofocus or together to form a high-quality image.

Powered by 14-bit DIGIC 5+, the EOS 70D is capable of capturing full-resolution photos at up to seven frames per second - up to 65 JPEGs or 16 RAW shots in a burst. At the same time, the hardware sensitivity range of ISO 100-12.800 allows photographers to shoot in low light and use faster shutter speeds without compromising image quality.

The AF system includes 19 cross-type AF points (similar to the EOS 7D) spread across the frame. This ensures fast and accurate autofocus. The autofocus system is individually adjustable so that the photographer can adapt it to the shooting conditions. You can select individual AF points, small groups, and specify a wide active area if unexpected subject movement is likely. With a dedicated AF area button conveniently located near the shutter release, the photographer can quickly switch between modes without taking their eyes off the viewfinder. In this case, autofocus is possible at aperture values ​​up to f / 11 inclusive. New system, of course, only works in LiveView mode - including when recording video.

The viewfinder with 98% coverage and 0.95x magnification allows the photographer to conveniently compose shots and control shooting parameters. Conveniently located controls provide quick access to commonly used settings such as ISO sensitivity, autofocus mode, and metering, so users can quickly change settings without taking their eyes off the shot.

The 7.7 cm (3-inch) vari-angle Clear View LCD II touch screen has 1040K dots. The capacitive screen supports multi-touch gestures, including scrolling, zooming in and out, making it easy to navigate menus, set options, and scroll through images.

The EOS 70D has a built-in High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode that solves the challenge of capturing complex high-contrast scenes by creating one frame from three different exposures that captures detail well in both dark and bright areas. And the multiple exposure mode allows the photographer to combine up to nine frames in one image, and a set of creative filters is designed to instantly stylize the picture.

The EOS 70D allows you to record high quality video. Full HD (1920 x 1080p) video recording features a choice of frame rates including 30, 25 or 24 fps, 60 and 50 fps are available in 720p, and various compression options are available for post-processing and transmission . Thanks to new technology Dual Pixel CMOS AF Movie Servo AF tracks moving subjects and maintains sharp focus even when the composition changes. The user can select different focus areas over more than 80% of the frame area with a simple touch of the touch screen during video recording, helping to ensure clarity when shooting moving objects or changing the composition of the frame.

Video enthusiasts will enjoy stereo sound recording with the built-in microphone, as well as the ability to enhance the sound quality with an external microphone. In manual mode, you have full control over parameters such as ISO sensitivity and aperture. This freedom of action helps the user to improve their skills.

And, of course, do not forget about the Wi-Fi module, which allows you to remotely control the camera and instantly transfer pictures to your phone/tablet/computer. The EOS Remote app uses a Wi-Fi connection to remotely control a wide range of camera settings, including ISO and exposure settings, as well as focus and shutter release.

The user can control external Canon Speedlite EX flash units with the camera's built-in Speedlite transmitter.

We offer to compare the appearance of the EOS 70D and its predecessor EOS 60D, as well as the characteristics of the new product, the closest competitor Nikon D7100 and Canon's flagship amateur segment - EOS 7D.
