Chronology
PredecessorCanon EOS 60D
SuccessorCanon EOS 80D

The Canon EOS 70D is a digital single-lens reflex camera by Canon publicly announced on July 2, 2013, with a suggested retail price of $1,199.[2] As a part of the Canon EOS two-digit line, it is the successor to the EOS 60D and is the predecessor of the EOS 80D.[1][3][4]

The EOS 70D is the launch platform for Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, which provides great improvement in focusing speed while in Live View, both for stills and video.[5] At large apertures such as f/1.8, the 70D's Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus provides a significant improvement in focus accuracy and consistency over conventional autofocus.[6]

The 70D can be purchased as a body alone, or in a package with an EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM lens, EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, and/or EF-S 18–200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.

The most recent available firmware is version 1.1.3.[7]
