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
Video quality could be sharper
No headphone socket
Creative Filters JPEG only
HDR mode JPEG only
Creative Filters live view only
Viewfinder level can be hard to see
Metering problems in high contrast
No second SD card slot
Weatherproofing isn't as advanced as with some competitors' models
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

Smooth video autofocus. Articulating touch-screen LCD. Pentaprism optical viewfinder. Quick focus in most situations. 7fps continuous drive shooting. Lots of physical controls. Vertical grip add-on available. 1/250-second flash sync speed. Integrated Wi-F
Live View autofocus struggles in low light. Only one SD card slot. Lacks built-in GPS. No PC Sync socket. 1080p video is limited to 30fps. Cannot record video when Wi-Fi is enabled
The Canon EOS 70D delivers the smoothest Live View focus we've seen in a traditional D-SLR, but it can struggle to lock that focus in dim light....

The Canon EOS 70D's new sensor delivers excellent autofocus performance and the camera itself is quite fast. Its design is reasonably streamlined and the feature set appropriately tailored to the target market as well
The image quality doesn't overly impress for this price class, and certain aspects of the design -- notably single card slot, hard-to-control multicontroller and the Wi-Fi/movie mode conflict resolution -- are annoying
An overall excellent camera, but one that fails to capture the best-in-class prize for image quality.
