Canon EOS 70D (8469B002) Digital SLR Cameras Black 20.2 MP Digital SLR Camera - Body (International Version - No Warranty)

I'll admit that I was skeptical about buying an import model. What I got was exactly what I wanted. This is the Canon 70D with WiFi. There is a manual in English, and the language on the camera is set to English. I upgraded from the Canon Tai and am so happy I did. There are more focal points which I was execting, and in addition there are focal zones. I am still learning to use the zones, but can alread see the improved quality in my photos! I like to put to test the low light capabilities of this camera seeing as how much higher the IA expands than the rebel series. I am very happy with the results! For anyone considering purchasing this camera and saving some money, I highly recommend this seller!

I needed to replace my D70 that broke but I don’t wanna break my bank,so this came in perfectly since I can still use my old canon lenses.The price is reasonable and body still good great like new.

Comes with features such as the wifi function and in viewfinder camera balance and HDR bracketed shots that are really useful and cost extra should you need to purchase with a camera that does not have these features. I sent my wifi CamRanger back and purchased this camera instead. Does wonderful video taping. Canon offers terrific phone support and online youtube tutorials.

Well this Particular camera I like it for the Wi-Fi and now I’m using theMenuinstead of the Auto

Works great so far. It's the international version but honestly it doesn't make any difference as far I can tell. Make sure u buy from high rated seller and u should be fine.

Used for photography or as apart of multi-camera HD video set up. Takes a while to figure how to get rid of all on screen icons.. Must use in manual focus to get a clean feed.

I've been using this body for about 2 months now and I really enjoy it. Takes good pictures and is easy to use.

The camera arrived earlier than anticipated in the order. It is a brand new camera and I got it registered at Canon USA website too. It was part of a kit lens of which lens was taken out. Other all accessaries were included into the "open box". I'm very satisfied with the product and loving to use a DSLR.

I am so happy with my new camera. I needed it for school and it definitely exceeds my expectations, would definitely buy from this seller again.

I bought the 70D predominantly as a 'cycling and walking camera'. I sold my 600D which was a nice camera but had some limitations that I found annoying - a bit plasticky and the ISO could only be changed in full stop increments for example. The 70D was bought for its exposure and metering versatility, the articulated screen which can fold back to protect the surface (e.g. when pushed into a rucksack), wireless flash bult in, and viewfinder grid. Many of the features I love on the 7D but just a bit lighter and compacter. There are always rumours about what is coming but I have had the 7D for nearly 4 years and am still very happy with it - pretty amazing in the digital era. I have been getting my 70D kit up and running and hope to do a full review within the next 7 days. I bought a Canon 55-250m EF-S II cheapie as a long-reach travel lens (just £109 - I know the mark 3 is coming out) and a third-party, non-Canon 70D grip which is amazing quality at less than a quarter of the Canon price. I have been using my favourite 15-85 EF-S and also the 17-55 f2.8 EF-S and EF-S 60mm macro. I have been initially very impressed with the 70D and it is a genuine step forward rather than a facelift / marketing re-hash of an earlier model. Handling is tight and quick, focussing and viewfinder not only 7D-like but an improvement. With the 600EX-RT speedlite, exposures have been excellent, though I havent tried the pop-up flash yet except for some outdoor fill-flash. Finally, I know there are comments about (it being) a polycarbonate body rather than MgAl but build quality to me seems excellent. More to follow..... GaryJan 13 update: EOS 70D enhanced reviewThis review update is now based on 3 months use of the 70D. I used the following lenses and accessories with the camera: Canon 600EXC-RT speedlite, Canon EF-S 15-85 f3.5 to f5.6, Canon EF-S 55-250 F3.5 to f5.6 Mk2, EF-S 60mm F2.8 macro, Sigma 10-20 EX DC f3.5 to 5.6, SanDisk ExtPro 32GB SDHC card, class 10 (95mb/s).As I suggested earlier, this is probably the best mid-range `prosumer' camera that Canon have produced in the APS-C sensor format and is a snip ahead of the 7D - which is still current and well over 4 years old of course, so still doing very well - and represents an excellent, robust, value for money package. It reminds me in many ways of the 7D - but with a slightly fresher set of features and it is slightly lighter and not as wide or high.In summary, the pros and cons are as follows:Strengths* Well made, compact, sturdy package, ideal for travel and reportage and as a back-up pro camera; weatherproofed body* Image quality very good (but see below), 20mp is a good compromise between file size and resolution* Excellent handling, controls fall easily to hand, familiar to Canon user* Excellent flash system, enhanced ETTL2* Used SD cards and LP-E6 batteries* Controls fall easily to hand, great for travel, cycling, walking. Foldable screen means that LCD screen can be protected from damage (e.g. whilst inside a rucksack or pannier)* SET button, with concentric multi-controller ring and rear control wheel (carried over from the 2012 EOS 6D), work very well, but might be a struggle with large or gloved or cold hands.* Excellent metering and focussing* Silent shooting mode a real advantage. Very quiet operation (even in non-silent mode) - the shutter release is significantly quieter than the 60D's or full frame Canons.* Very good ISO range - 100 to 12800 (H1 boost to 25600) and low light functionality* Bright, well-designed viewfinder, excellent grid overlay and viewfinder level option from 7D (actually improved over this)* Good range of custom functions and customisable buttons, latest menu system with same multi-controller wheel set-up as on 6D.* Well design articulated LCD screen with touch sensitivity (like 60D)* Built in wireless flash option* Well-designed top plate, large mode selector dial with lock button* On chip phase detection system makes video / live view focussing the best yet* Commendable battery life. Same LP-E6 battery as most EOS cameras above the 600-series. The first charge with the new battery gave me realistically about 400 exposures before I recharged it. However, this involved the usual experimentation one does with a new camera, so I would expect real world use to give at least 600 shots or more* Shutter speed of 7 fps is good enough for me. As a travel photographer, probably 99.5% of the all the images I have ever taken have been `single shot'Weaknesses* Image quality of a high standard and dynamic range better than many previous Canon APS-C cameras but DR could be improved re; Nikon rivals* Focussing not as versatile or customisable as 7D* Not a 100% field of view viewfinder unlike the 7D (a criticism of most EOS cameras from me)* No built-in viewfinder rear shutter (ditto)* Pointless SCENE, Green Square A+ , `night' and CA settings on top dial. Better to have C2/3 (in addition to C1) or another customisable position. I have never accepted the idea that anyone `trading up' to a better camera needs these settings: at ca. £1000 this camera body is beyond the price range of most `dabblers'* Lost opportunity to place a true customisable Mf-n button on top of grip (like 7D) - the control in this position is fixed to focussing pattern control on 70D* Same criticism as for 6D - parsimonious My Menu customising - why just 6 options - with all the RAM this camera has, I can't believe this couldn't easily be 12 or more* Printed user manual supplied is a short version - the full manual is only found on the CD or as a PDf download from the Net. This is common with Canon now and a trend I hateMost controls are positioned where we would expect of a modern EOS. The Top Dial has the useful centre lock button and the On / Off switch is now in its usual position below this. There is a good balance of features on the top plate - somewhere between a 7D and a 5D mk3 top plate. It has the larger type LCD, with the usual array of buttons in front of the LCD - AF, Drive, ISO, Metering and panel Illumination. The DOF preview button is now in a much more useful place to the right hand side of the lens throat. The top right hand side of the rear panel has three buttons - all customisable - which will be familiar - AF-On, Metering Lock and AF Points. Below this there are significant changes from the 60d (etc) that came in with the EOS 6D last year. There is the concentric SET, Multi Controller and Rear Dial set up - which actually works very well. This has the associated Lock switch (which, usefully, is customisable) and below the Rear Dial is the Delete (`dustbin') button. Above it are the Play and Magnify buttons and the usual Live View / Video controller button. To the top left of the rear LCD panel is the standard MENU and INFO buttons. I am not a great user of video but it seems to produce fine image quality and I am sure it customisable enough for the enthusiast.So, all pretty-much standard stuff on a modern EOS and should be intuitive for any Canon user - you'll be able to use it `straight-from-the-box' - certainly for basic usage.FocussingThe focussing is pretty commendable. It has all the usual focussing `tweakability' of all mid- to high-end EOS cameras these days. Via the C.FnII, you have the option to adjust Tracking Sensitivity, Accel / Decel tracking, AI Servo Priority, AF Assist Beam, AF Microadjust, etc. However, for me the issue is how well does the camera work in real-world situations? I would say the focussing functionality is significantly better than the 5Dmk2 and 6D and probably not quite up there with the 7D or 5Dmk3. For me, that's very good. Not really being a photographer who takes many photographs of moving subjects, I haven't truly used all the focussing abilities of the 7D over the last three years anyway. Probably, if I wanted a `cheaper' EOS for sports or action, I'd go for the 70D regardless (something Canon seemed to have cottoned on to as their 4 year-old EOS 7D camera has been given a new lease of life by `Firmware 2.0' and a big advertising push - one suspects that sports and wildlife photographers actually liked the 1.3 magnification factor of the 1D mk3/4 and there's now a gap as the 1Dx is full frame with no magnification advantages for long lenses).Metering and ExposureThe camera has no problems in this department. Many earlier EOS DSLRs up to the 5D mk2 struggled with the older matrix / evaluative metering. I found that they consistently overexposed in UK conditions and I used spot / partial metering or used Manual more often than not. Blown highlights and featureless, white skies were a problem on overcast days. Since the introduction of the iFCL metering around the time the 7D was launched (I think it might have been with the 1Dm4), things have improved greatly and the 70D is no exception. I found I could use Aperture Priority metering with few problems. I also found the same with the budget 600D in the UK - I have now sold this as the 70D has effectively replaced this. Exposure is now more `Nikon-like' with fewer clipped highlights and better shadow detail - also likely to be a benefit of the dynamic range of the chip. Viewfinder perspective and information readout are commendable. But I still feel Canon have work to do on the dynamic range of their APS-C sized chips.FlashIn a word - superb. The best I have found on a Canon DSLR so far, especially with the 600EX-RT speedlite (see separate review). The new ETTL2 + algorithms used in flash calculations seem to have finally allowed Canon flash system to catch up with NikonReal world use with typical lensesAny Canon EF lens made over the last 26 years (or non-Canon EF equivalent) will fit this camera. The Canon EF-S range is optimised for this camera. Most of my first 3 months of shots with the camera were taken with my excellent, workhorse EF-S 15-85 f3.5 to 5.6 which is the premium, latest version of this 24-135 35mm equivalent standard zoom (comparable in quality to the EF 24-105L). I also used the compact, optically superb Canon EF-S 60mm f2.8 macro and the less optically distinguished EF-S 55-250 f3.5 to 5.6 mk 2 lightweight telephoto zoon (a kit lens, that sells at around £110) and the well regarded Sigma EX DC 10-20mm f3.5/5.6 HSM (their equivalent of the Canon EF-S 10-20mm).The 15-85 and the 70D make a great lightweight travel set. They work well together giving sharp images across the range and punchy colours. Optical aberrations are well controlled and flatness of field relatively good for such a lens. My only criticism of this lens is that it doesn't have a lens lock so the zoom ring tends to drift when carried or stowed in a camera bag.ConclusionThis is the best prosumer `mid-range' Canon DSLR yet. It rivals the 7D and gives the 6D / 5D mk3 a serious run for its money if you don't want full frame. Great image quality and a very robust, ergonomic package make this camera a fine buy. It can be firmly recommended.

i love my new camera super happy and excited to learn photography

I purchased this as a long overdue upgrade for my trusty Canon 350D and have been blown away by the quality of the images it produces. In particular, the low-light performance is astounding and much, much better than I had expected given the rather poor DXOMark scores.I shoot RAW, with all in-camera noise reduction disabled and my work is split evenly between landscape photography and night skies, in particular the aurora borealis, milky way and starscapes. I purchased only the body, so I am using all my existing glass on the new camera.For landscape work, the images are stunning and sharp, with beautiful colour tones. The amount of detail that can be recovered from shadows in post processing is incredible. I can push the shadow or exposure sliders as far as they will go in lightroom without any deterioration in image quality.For low-light work, the camera really excels. ISO 6400 on this camera is better than ISO 1600 on the 350D. What noise there is, is very clean, no banding and very easy to remove in post-processing. The detail and colour rendition of weak auroras and night skies is stunning. I can shoot beautiful milky way and star shots at ISO 12800 with very little noise and get details that I could never dream of capturing before.I only really shoot stills but I have tried a few videos and been very pleased with the operation of the focussing and the quality of the results. I have no use for the wi-fi, so I haven’t tried it.The viewfinder and focussing system is a revelation compared to the 350D, so crisp and clear and accurate. The articulating screen is very useful for landscapes and night skies, where the camera is often at ground-level or pointing vertically. I absolutely love the electronic level, which lets me get the horizons straight even when shooting auroras in the pitch black.The camera itself feels solid, chunky in the hand. It feels like a serious bit of kit.What’s not to like? Well there are only a few minor niggles :The rubberised coating on the body leaves a nasty rubbery smell on your hands.The HDR is a total let-down, as it does not produce a RAW image, so I am still having to blend images in post.The menu buttons on the touch-screen are tiny, it is easy to press the wrong thing by mistake and many screens do not have a back button which means having to go back to the top and navigate back down again.I love this camera to bits. It is a joy to use. Thoroughly recommended.

Great product, but really bad shipping, took a week just to leave the facility, but once it did, it came in two days. Love my new camera though!
