About this model
The Canon EOS 70D is a versatile mid-range DSLR that sits above the entry-level models and below the full-frame range. Its 20.2-megapixel APS-C sensor delivers detailed images with good low-light performance, and the DIGIC 5+ processor supports continuous shooting at up to 7 frames per second. The standout feature is Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which uses phase-detection autofocus across the sensor for smooth, responsive focusing in Live View and video. The 3-inch vari-angle touchscreen makes it easy to shoot from unusual angles, and the 19-point all cross-type AF system provides reliable focusing through the viewfinder. Built-in Wi-Fi allows remote control and image transfer via the Canon Camera Connect app. This listing is for the body only; lenses are sold separately.
