The editors didn't like
Not 100% FoV viewfinder
High ISO noise reduction a little rough
Autofocus can unwontedly drift between subjects during movie capture
No headphone jack for audio monitoring
Some overexposure
Filters unavailable in raw + JPEG shooting
Single SD
Wi-Fi
Bulky and heavy
Not full-frame resolution
Top-plate short cuts
Heavier than most consumer DSLRs
Particularly with kit zoom attached
Expensive for an APS-C DSLR
Awkward to tweak settings using small top plate buttons encircling the smallest LCD

Still a few design/handling flaws
Heavyweight video bitrate—SD card with at least class 10 speeds required
The creative filters could be better but we're really reaching for something bad to say here
Chunkier and heavier than most consumer-level DSLRs
Top plate LCD shortcuts could be made less fiddly and easier to access still

Abstract: Earlier in the year I compared the EOS 5D Mark III and 6D, Canon's least expensive full-frame cameras. Today I'm going to look at two other models that cause confusion: the Canon EOS 70D vs Canon 700D Rebel T5i.Note: North America readers will know the EO...
Fastest autofocus in Live View of any camera that we've seen or tested when it comes to its exemplary tracking abilities. Otherwise, it's only a bit slower than Sony, Fairly nice build for the customer base with a nice feel in the hand, WiFi connectivity
We feel that Canon purposely crippled the sensor. It's worse than the 7D's and 5D Mk II's. Yes, the Mk II, Really wish that the back dial was beefier, The implementation of direct autofocus point selection vs having to press a button first would've made
Canon's 70D is surely capable of taking some great photos, but we feel that the camera could have been even better. It is a minor upgrade from the 60D with the exception of the autofocusing, wifi addition, and the menu system. What's holding us back from...
