A flip screen allows you to frame shots at odd angles such as over your head shooting into a crowd and put yourself in the picture. The flip screen is one of the main reasons that vloggers and videographers love the 70D so much. Many photographers will never use a flip screen but others find cameras without them a deal breaker.
Burst rate is the maximum number of frames per second that a camera can take and both of these cameras excel in this area. True to its billing as a sports and wildlife dynamo, the 7D Mark II can shoot at 10 FPS, one of the fastest frame rates in the industry. GPS allows you to know exactly where your pictures were taken when you load them onto your computer. The Canon 70D is equipped with built-in WiFi so that users can send photos to their phone directly from the camera, allowing pictures to be shared via text, email, or social media instantly.
WiFi also allows users to control their camera with their phones, which is useful when trying to take those epic selfies! Shooting at 60 FPS will make for clearer videos, especially when you have a quickly moving subject like a spinning wheel. The 70D is no slouch when it comes to video though, as is evidenced by the number of vloggers and videographers who use and love this camera. The 7D Mark II is the better option for professional sports and wildlife photographers due to its dual card slots, super fast burst rate, and exceptional autofocus system.
It is also a very good camera for videography but it does lack the flip screen on the Canon 70D. This camera may not have some of the bells and whistles of the 7D Mark II but make no mistake, this is a very good camera.
Both of these cameras are favourites among videographers. The 7D was a firm favourite for a good while, but with the launch of the 70D things have changed. The articulated touchscreen and the improved autofocus made a huge difference to ease with which video can be recorded. The touchscreen folds out and can be adjusted through a range of angles, making it easier to capture shots from a variety of different positions.
Overall, the 70D is much the preferred camera for video capture. One of the big indicators of the technology gap between these two cameras is the inclusion of Wi-Fi. The 70D has it, the 7D does not. This useful feature is found in both cameras. It allows the user to make miniscule adjustments to the way the camera autofocuses, either in the front- or back-focusing.
You can customize what the different parts of this composite dial do, although the directional pad serves mainly to move the focus point around the grid.
Although both cameras have 3-inch sized LCD screens, of similar non-reflective design, similarities end there. The 70D screen can flip out and swivel, which allows Live View shooting and video capture from unusual angles with ease. As well as this, the LCD itself can be used in a multitude of ways to control and operate the camera functions.
The touchscreen design means that it is fast and intuitive to just use finger pressure to move around the menus, make selections from the Q-screen, and even browze images. Zooming in and out is accomplished by pinching fingertips together. In Live View, the screen allows the choice of focus point merely by tapping.
The touchscreen can also be turned off entirely. When it comes to Live View performance the new Dual Pixel AF system more on that later combines with the super intuitive touchscreen to make the 70D distinctly faster and more effective than the 7D.
Rear view of EOS 70D with rear touch screen swivelled out. The rear of the 7D is altogether a bit more spacious in its layout. Both cameras share similar switches for engaging Live View and video, and they also share the same Multi-Function Lock switch.
Rear view of the EOS 7D. Both of these controls are bigger, and easier to operate whilst shooting than the combination dial on the 70D is. Although the two cameras have almost all the same controls, the layout is a little different in that the 7D has a set of buttons on the left side of the lcd, while the 70D concentrates most of its controls on the right side.
To put numbers to the physical differences between the two bodies, a comparison of dimensions show that the 70D is significantly smaller than the 7D. Overall, the 7D is wider 9mm and higher 6mm. The 70D is deeper by 5mm. The 70D hits the scales at just g with battery whilst the 7D is noticeably heavier at g, including battery. Both cameras use the LP-E6 Lithium-Ion battery pack, which also simplifies things if you end up owning more than one Canon camera. Compared to the 7D, the 70D is quite compact, and it may be the camera that is best suited to those with smaller hands.
The 70D is also lighter. The EOS 7D has been available for several years now, and the autofocus system is a proven one. The AF grid is made up of 19 points and they are all cross-type, at f5. The centre AF point is a high-precision type when used with an f2.
The 7D is driven by two Digic 4 processors. Autofocus accuracy seems similar between the two cameras, although I felt that the 70D was just the tiniest bit more stable when it came to fast-moving subjects, perhaps due to the new processor or some other improvement in the AF system. Both cameras have a dedicated button ahead of the shutter release for controlling AF area whilst shooting without having to look away from the viewfinder. Users who favour the expanded AF point and spot AF point options that are missing from the 70D might not feel the same as I do.
In my experience, AF accuracy is noticeably better for both cameras with just a single point active, selected by myself. Again, I come to my conclusions about autofocus performance as a wildlife photographer with a liking for moving subject matter. For slow-moving or static subjects the multiple AF point options work just fine. If you want superior and consistent accuracy from the peripheral areas of your focus grid with fast-moving subjects , away from the centre point, then the 5Dmk 3 and 1D series become the only options in the Canon line-up at the time of writing.
That said, the centre point AF performance from both the 70D and 7D is good enough for my needs. Bottlenosed dolphins. How the AF points show in the viewfinder is similar between the two cameras, but there are some differences when it comes to the Custom Functions that affect AF performance.
The 70D C. Only the 70D has C. Fn III: 3 in the 7D. EOS 70D Autofocus tracking sensitivity. The 70D also has intermediate options in its Ai Servo focus or release priority settings, whereas with the 7D there are two options to choose from when working with these parameters. On the 70D, these parameter settings are found in C. Fn II: 3 and C. Fn II: 4. Overall, I found the two cameras to have very similar autofocus systems.
Even though the 70D has two fewer AF Area options Spot AF and AF Expansion , I found that it mattered very little in the overall evaluation of what the AF systems can do, and I found its AF performance to be similar to the 7D, at least as good if not a little more stable and accurate with fast-moving subjects.
Carmine bee-eater in flight. I photographed a very wide variety of wild subjects with both these cameras. From big cats like leopard and lion, to African wild dogs, and marine mammals like humpback whales in all kinds of light. I also spent many hours photographing birds with both cameras. Response to me is defined by a combination of shutter lag, viewfinder blackout, and frame rate, In this regard, the 70D is a good performer, with a shutter lag of 65ms, viewfinder blackout of 97ms and continuous frame rate of 7 frames per second.
The 7D is a little bit faster, with shutter lag of 59ms, similar viewfinder blackout, and a faster frame rate of 8 frames per second. Lesser kestrel. Whilst the 70D has a raw buffer of 16 raw images tested by me the 7D has a much deeper buffer, rated at 24 images higher with a fast CF card.
At the time of writing, the fastest SD cards do not transfer data as quickly as do the fastest CF cards. These numbers may only mean something to you if you shoot bursts or continuous action.
With both cameras, I shoot raw images only, and turn off all in-camera processing options to maximize buffer space. I have never managed to get close to filling a 7D buffer whilst in the field. The 70D buffer is not as deep, but it was still big enough for my shooting needs. I would rate the 7D as excellent in buffer capacity, with the 70D considered decent.
The type of card type may also matter to you if you are already invested in one type only. Although I prefer CF cards for their speed, I do find it convenient to be able to download directly into the SD slot in the side of my computer when using SD cards. When it comes to their drives, both cameras are fairly quiet.
The silent mode is a big plus, and I make use of often when shooting wildlife from hides, or from very close. The noise generated by the 70D in silent mode is so quiet that wild subjects are often not disturbed at all. The silent modes are also desirable when photographing any kind of event where loud shutter noises might be obtrusive. The shutter on the 70D is rated for an approximate life cycle of cycles whereas the 7D shutter should be more durable, with its rating of cycles.
Both cameras can remotely trigger Canon speedlights. Both cameras use the same LP-E6 battery, and it seems to me that the 70D is squeezing a few more shots out of a charge perhaps due to its single processor design. Shooting stills alone with only a little Live View usage I can get more than shots easily on a charge with either camera.
Top LCD screen and controls. The two cameras share the same zone metering system, and similar metering modes. In Spot metering, the 70D reads from 3. This is reversed for Partial metering, where the 70D reads from 7. I typically never shoot in either of these metering modes, preferring evaluative metering.
Male lion. Cropped from 18mp to 13mp then downsized for web. The 70D is capable of shooting multiple exposures and combining then in camera for a creative effect. Only the 70D can also merge a series of bracketed images and create an hdr jpg image. Interestingly, the physical dimensions of the 70D sensor reveal that it is 0. Whether that implies a fractionally larger area for image capture is not clear to me. A vertical crop taken from a horizontal with the 70D, at an aspect ratio of produces an image of 8.
Performing the same crop action with a 7D horizontal frame results in a vertical image of 8. Openbilled stork. Cropped from 20mp to 5mp, downsized for web. Noise reduction applied. It is not always very easy to see differences in sensor output between the two whilst viewing images that are downsized for the internet, but I am finding that the 70D images superior for my own shooting needs.
Whilst shooting the test images with the two cameras side by side, I noticed that the 70D image tended to be a little brighter in identical lighting and with the same shutter speed, aperture, iso and metering mode selected.
The difference was less than one third of a stop. For this direct comparison, I adjusted exposure upwards on the 7D images and downwards on those from the 70D in Lightroom. The total adjusted difference is less than a third of a stop. I also noticed slight differences in white balance rendering between the two cameras, with the 70D images being a bit cooler. Amethyst sunbird. Cropped from 18mp to 12mp, downsized for web. No noise reduction.
I have posted the series of test images from the two cameras, with the same lens, mount and subject. Between each set of images I increased the iso sensitivity by one stop. Every second set of images is deeply cropped for comparison and to allow finer inspection of image quality.
I took these images indoors although the light was all natural and indirect. Each image is captioned with details. Iso Downsized from 20mp for web. Downsized from 18mp for web. Cropped from 20mp to 1. Cropped from 18mp to 1. Plus 0. In terms of processing the test toy animals in this post, I shot in raw, and processed in Adobe Camera Raw, applying a low level of sharpening to the high-contrast edges of the subject only.
Sharpening amount was I applied no noise reduction at all, and I sharpened each image once for website viewing after downsizing to the x web size in Photoshop. Every image was identically processed. I found the 70D raw images to be quite neutral, and with slightly less contrast than those from the 7D. Adding or reducing contrast is part of my normal raw workflow and I was happy with what I was getting from the 70D raw files.
I also experienced a bit of a difference in white balance rendition between the two cameras, and more so than I expected, given that they share metering systems. Again, white balance is something that I usually adjust in my raw workflow. The 70D has a resolution advantage, of 2 megapixels.
What this means is that it has slightly smaller individual pixels, 4. You can make slightly larger prints from the 70D. Despite its slightly smaller photosites, the 70D image shows a little less noise than the 7D, and this even if you compare them at pixel level, or percent view. My assessment of image quality is subjective, and may be different than yours.
For my needs, I was happy with output from the 7D up to iso although I mostly preferred to try and keep it below that setting. With the 70D, I am quite comfortable shooting at iso whenever I need to.
It is still worthwhile switching to a lower iso setting for better quality when possible, but I am quite happy to shoot at iso whenever I may need the extra shutter speed or greater depth of field that it may bring. I also have 70D images taken at iso that are totally usable for my needs. African wild dog. No noise reduction in processing.
Cropped from 20mp to 19mp in processing, downsized for web. When it comes to dealing with noise I use Lightroom 5 or Adobe Camera Raw, which have similar noise reduction procedures. I use selective processing techniques that help to minimize noise and I always try not to enhance noise at any point in my workflow. It is also important to note that heavy cropping reduces image quality, and may make noise more visible.
My preferred iso limits of with the 7D and with the 70D are for images that are intended for print quality. For smaller image output, such as internet usage, I am comfortable using images taken at higher iso settings with both cameras, up to iso with the 70D. To sum up image quality, I feel the advantage definitely lies with the 70D.
Lower noise, especially in the range from Iso to Iso , expand the shooting possibilities beyond that of the 7D for my style of shooting, even more so when combined with the resolution increase. Although the 70D beats the 7D in image quality, neither of these two APS-C camera bodies are a match for the current crop of full-frame Canon bodies when it comes to shooting in very low light or at iso settings above Both cameras are well equipped for video and live view shooting.
At the time of writing, the 70D live view autofocus performance is a whole lot quicker than any other Canon dslr, including the 7D. In the past, I have only been able to make use of live view for wildlife photography when the subjects were virtually dead still. That was until the arrival of the 70D. For the first time I was able to photograph animals from a low angle, by holding the camera away from my body. The 70D flip-out swivel screen also makes Live View shooting easy at the most unusual of angles.
Yet another feature that is present in the 70D and not the 7D is its built-in wi-fi capability. Using the Canon program, it is possible to control the camera remotely by means of a smartphone or a tablet.
It is also possible to transfer data directly from the camera to a remote device. The wifi connectivity opens up lots of remote shooting options, and adds extra value to what the 70D offers. Black-chested snake eagle. Cropped from 20 to 13mpixels, downsized for web. The 70D holds an image quality and resolution advantage, as well as the versatility that comes with effective live view performance, and all that in a very compact package that is easy to use, and lightweight. If the bigger bodied, more robust, and fully external-featured 7D suits you better, with its slight speed and response advantage, then it may be the best choice, especially as prices may fall a bit as the camera moves toward the end of its product life as a new model.
Hi Grant — thanks! Love it! Hi Sandra, glad you enjoyed reading about the new camera. Again I must say how much I appreciate your reviews. As long as they are, they always make complicated subjects very readable to me. Your ability to compare all the various aspects gives me confidence in understanding what you have written.
So once again, thanks for writing a review that makes me feel like I actually get it! Hi Nancy, thanks for your feedback, and very glad to hear that the review was of interest. Thanks, a very informative review. I am the worlds worst for researching something thoroughly before I buy it and then research it to death afterwards to confirm my decision.
Thanks for the feedback Barrie I think the 70D is a big upgrade on the 60D, and an exciting camera all-around. Cheers Grant. Hey Grant, thanks a lot for the comprehensive review. Very well written indeed. I have had the 7D since 4 years and now also a 5D3. I have been happy with the 7D but the IQ of the 5D3 is in another league. I use it with my II lens for birding and wildlife. Regards, Sanjeev. Hi Sanjeev That is a good question that you ask.
What would be important to consider is whether you would be comfortable with the smaller layout of the 70D, especially around the back of the camera, which is a different to the 5Dmk3. This is in contrast to the 7D, which has a very similar rear layout to the 5Dmk3. If you are using your 7D less and less because of the difference you are finding in image quality between it and the 5dmk3, then it becomes more important to get the 70D.
As far as the 7Dmk2 is concerned, I have no idea when or if it will be released. Thanks Grant for your reply. Will the 6D make a reasonable back-up body for wildlife as its IQ is similar to 5D3? Or would you prefer the 70D in that situation? Hi Sanjeev, the 6D has image quality as good if not slightly better than the 5Dmk3, so in that regard it makes a great second body. In terms of shooting alongside the 5dmk3, it is again, a little different in layout, especially when it comes to the Quick Command Dial and AF multi-controller.
In those aspects, the 70D and 6D are very similar and seamless to move between when shooting. Comparing the 70D and 6D for wildlife, the 70D is ahead when it comes to frame rate, as well as AF point coverage of the frame. It also has a significantly higher pixel density, which can be useful in situations where the subject may be very small or far away, and the light is good.
In good light the 70D image quality is pretty good. Having a 6D as a backup body to the 5Dmk3 will give you equivalent image quality, whereas the 70D will offer a somewhat different set of options due to its smaller, high pixel density sensor, and greater speed. Perhaps your decision between those two, 6D and 70D, may be influenced by the conditions you find yourself shooting in most often…if lots of low light, high iso work, 6D may be the way to go.
If you find that you are shooting a lot in good light, and sometimes need higher pixel density, then the 70D perhaps better. Thanks Grant, excellent review as always! About six weeks ago, I have opted for the 70D as my 2nd body. I also have a 6D. Firstly, I wanted a Crop Body as an affordable way to get additional reach, especially for birds and birds in flight.
I opted in the end for the 70D, mainly due to better higher ISO performance and improved image quality.
It may be that I have not optimized all the settings on the 70D yet, because in theory the 70D should be more suited to birds in flight photograpgy than the 6D. That said, the additional reach and the greater frame rate of the 70D does make a difference. Cheers Thinus. Hi Thinus, glad you enjoyed the review.
I found the 6D to have an extremely responsive and accurate centre AF point when I was shooting with it. I even managed some head-on shots of approaching birds in flight in low light that were in-focus, which suprized me.
The 70D also did very well for me with birds in flight, although I believe that the 6D might hold an advantage in very low light. Also, as you mention, there are also quite a few additional options when it comes to fine-tuning the autofocus of the 70D, especially for Ai Servo focus performance Thanks for sharing your experience and your feedback Cheers Grant.
Both are great cameras, the 70D is a great replacement to the 60D for sure but falls short on some promises. Continuous speed for one but for me it was also very rubbery.
I just wanted to add that I purchased the 70D. I am leaving for Tanzania next week. One of the things I am looking forward to is being able to use the touch screen to adjust settings. I also like the auto focusing capability. I took it to a local beach to try to catch birds in flight.
It did well seeming to know what I was focusing on while moving the camera. Anyway, thanks for the advice, Grant! Glad to hear that Larry, and I hope the 70D gets you lots of great shots. Hi Nancy Thanks for sharing your early findings with the new camera. However, I was wrong. Autofocus is pretty good on the 70D, and easily good enough for fast moving action.
Good day, Grant I love the comparison review on 7D v 70D. I am using 7D now for about 2 years and plan to buy 70D too, because the shutter has done nearly 83, shots.
I bought a cheap vertical or battery grip for it for R Everything went well at first, but then it started. At first it could not pick up the left hand battery anymore, then the latch keeping the battery down broke, then the shutter button is sometimes stuck and does not squeeze in to focus or take the shot.
I also found that the battery life time is deteriorating quickly. I have removed the grip and use the batteries in the camera without it now, but something is eating my batteries.
Maybe they are already served their life time. The new battery lasted for about shots after first charge. Thereafter I only got shots before the camera switched off on the same battery after second charge. My query is: could it be the grip, the lens, the battery quality or the camera? How do I find out this problem? I spoke to another Canon user. He told me that he had similar problems with his batteries, but found that the Canon lens that he borrowed from a friend caused the problem.
Hope you can guide me with advice. Best regards Tinus. Hi Tinus, thanks for your feedback on the review. I am afraid that I have never used any third party batteries or battery grips with my Canon dslrs, and as such I am not able to offer any suggestions, apart from getting yourself a new LP-E6 battery and seeing what happens with that in your camera.
I would avoid using the third party battery grip. Typically I get between and shots. Some of those lenses are quite long, all have IS, some older and some newer generation, and I shoot with IS on all the time. Using Live View eats into the battery power quickly and shooting movies is similarly heavy on battery power.
Hope that helps cheers Grant. Thanks for review. I will definitely buy the 70d camera as upgrade to my d. I am also looking for a all purpose lens and looking at the new sigma f4 is that seem to be great glass and well build. Hi Marius, thanks for your feedback. I have no experience with that new Sigma yet, but it looks good. I look forward to hearing how your results go I think the 70d will pair well with good lenses. Great review. I have been debating the whole 7D vs 70D for awhile.
If your budget only afforded a 7D could you remain a happy wild life photographer? Big question is buy used 7D now and start shooting or save longer and go 70D. If I win the lotto should I just run out and grab the 1D X?? Off topic question: Tele advantage of cropped sensor vs smaller image on larger sensor but crop to match the smaller sensor. Is the full frame shot cropped, going to be better than the bigger image on the smaller sensor?
I have seen so much conflicting info, but after reading this review, you seem like the man who would know based on thorough real world experience. Any and all info greatly appreciated. HI Mitch It really comes down to your own personal priority on absolute image quality, in which case the 70D is superior, or ergonomics the rear AF multicontroller and larger, full-control set body of the 7D.
Judging whether the image quality difference between the 70D and 7D is important to you can be made easier by using whatever current dlsr you are shooting with, as a reference? There are a bunch of Canons dslr bodies using similar 18mp sensors as that found in the 7D, although their output may be slightly refined in later models. Similarly, your current camera body will give you some idea of whether you will benefit most from the bigger body size and control set of the 7D or whether the 70D will be good enough in this regard.
As to your question regarding image quality comparison between full frame and APS-C sensor cameras, that can be a complex one to answer. In comparing, I have found it important to compare similar age sensors, therefore cropping an image taken with the same lens, same position, same subject, only changing camera bodies, between a 5Dmk3 and a 70D, meant I had roughly 9mp image from the 5dmk3 to compared to a 20mp image from the 70D.
On a 23 inch screen, I could not really tell the difference between the images, however, for a really large print, there would have been a definite advantage to the 20mp image from the 70D. Once I went beyond Iso , I found the 9mp image of the 5Dmk3 needed less noise reduction than that of the 70D, and in very low light, the full-frame camera is superior. In good light, at iso and downward, the 70D was about as good.
Of course, what I have written here pertains to a 5dmk3 full frame, 22mp image cropped until subject size matched that from an APS-C sensor 70D image, same focal length, 20 mp. If you move closer with the full frame camera or use more focal length until the image is framed the same, there is a clear advantage in virtually all regards to the 5Dmk3 image.. Mitch, a couple things I missed out in my response.
The 70D has a shutter rated at cycles, the 7D cycles. I owned a pair of 7D bodies and used them as my main wildlife camera bodies for 6 months. Whilst I enjoyed their responsiveness, feel, build, speed and decent AF, I found the low light image quality less than idea l for the kind of shooting that I do, which includes lots of mammal action after sunset and before sunrise.
In all other respects the 7D did me well. Grant, Thank you so much for you reply. I think I will hold out, and save for the 70D. Image quality is top priority. When using a crop sensor camera with full fram lenes, is the f stop altered along with the magnification? A 2. Any opinion on an older Tamron SP f2. It was a dream lens way back when I shot film with the Canon A1. I never did get one, but see really good deals on used ones.
I would welcome any input on a decent starting lens for wild life. I am thinking only full frame glass, that can be used in the future. Hi Mitch, nothing changes in terms of f-stop and the actual max focal length when mounting a fixed lens onto a full-frame or APS-C sensor camera. Sometimes I have found the easiest way for me to figure out what kind of pixel density high, medium or low a particular camera sensor has is to start making notes of the pixel pitch.
That way you can better forgo worrying about crop or not. Therefore the 1DX has pixel pitch of 6. Both are 18 mp, so native, uncropped print from both will be the same size, however more 4. As for lenses, I do not have any experience with the Tamron f2. Both of these lenses are very sharp, offer up good contrast and beautiful looking images at a decent price, especially on the used market, they should be around the USD mark.
The f4 holds the advantage in low light with its extra f-stop of light gathering, something that may be more important if you are shooting them on a camera with small pixel pitch that is not ultra-good in low light…The EFL IS zoom is also very versatile and capable, if not quite as sharp as either of the aforementioned lenses. I used a f4L IS for some years and was very happy with it, although it is a bit on the short side for birds, unless they are big or very approachable. Again, than you so much for your replies.
Any thoughts on the 60D? I currently shoot with the little sx and an older sx10, so any DSLR has to be a huge improvement. Hi Mitch There is no problem with the 60D, and for that kind of money, what a bargain. It has lots of resolution, decent AF, decent image quality in good to medium light, and is responsive and quite versatile with its high quality lcd flip screen and video capabilities.
I also prefer the form factor of the 40D, with its larger rear command dial and dedicated AF joystick. The rear LCD on the 40D is not that great for detailed reviewing, and it is only 10 mp, but still a good camera.
To a large degree the AF system is shared with the 60D, although the newer processor in the 60D may confer it a very small advantage. Any of the XXD models will pair very well with the f4L IS and this will make for a very light, very easy to use, and very effective, mobile wildlife photography setup… Cheers Grant.
Thanks for sharing that info here Scott, I seem to never have the combination of 7D, 1. Also the f4 vs the f5. Lose a stop but gain mm, or with 1. Probably going for the 60D body, a friend is giving me an older zoom touse, while I save for one of the above lens. Real-world advantages for me that the f2. Cameras with extra sensitive f2. Viewfinder brighter. Shallower depth of field, both the f2.
Both the f2. Also, both f2. Whether these differences are worth the extra money only each user can know. The f4L IS is extremely lightweight, easy to use, has decently fast AF, very good image quality, and is one of those lenses that punches way above its weight when it comes to value for money…. You have summed up the main differences between the f4L IS plus 1.
If you are going to need to shoot the with the 1. However, if you suspect that there will be lots of low light shooting, and instances when bare mm will be enough focal length, then the extra light gathering, and image stabilization of the f4 would place it ahead.
Great info on the lens stuff. It was the whole retail package with manuals , battery, charger, strap etc AND 1 yr full manufacturers warranty. An old friend dug up an older Canon F Not a bad way to start.
With the 60D crop sensor I think the F4 is what I will start saving for. That puts me at ish f4. Hi Mitch Thanks for letting me know, and it sounds a great deal. I think you will enjoy the response and image quality of the 60D, and even more so once you get a f4L.
The main operator that I work with for the Chobe trips actually supplies Sigma mm lenses as part of the deal to folk on the boat, and there are also rental options for higher-quality long lens. Look forward to seeing some images and hearing about your experiences with the lens.
My Q is if I replace my 7D, would you prefer a 70D or should one prefer both full frame bodies like a 5D3 and 6D combo? It is making some buzz on the forums. On the other hand, if there is very little ambient light, then the larger pixels and larger sensor area of the 5Dmk3 combine to give you superior image quality.
In that way having a full frame and crop sensor kind of gives you the best of both worlds…low light performance and maximum image quality prioritized on the full frame, and the benefits that come with small pixels and fine resolution for distant subjects or big crops on the 7D.
If you find that you are frequently changing camera bodies to get the full frame sensor onto both lenses in field, or wishing that you were, then it might be the best idea to get two full frame cameras. On the other hand, if you are using both your 7D and 5Dmk3 equally ,and like that versatility, then changing out the 7D for a 70D will bring you some further small pixel high-resolution benefits it is 4.
It may be the best of the third party manufacturer super tele zoom options? Thanks for the great review. I am however slightly concerned about its smaller size and the accessibility of controls etc.
For lenses I have f4 L and f2. Hi Barry As a former user of the 40D myself, I owned 3 of them, as well as the 50D and 7D bodies, I found the 70D body size to be quite comfortable for my medium to smaller-sized hands. Although it is quite compact, the 70D remains quite chunky and the grip is fairly deep.
Personally, I do find the missing rear AF joystick quite annoying, as it is a control that I use all the time when shooting with 40D, 50D, 7D and 5D series cameras…aside from that, the rest of the controls were quite comfortable for me. Your lenses sound pretty good to me and will work just fine on either the 7D or 70D I look forward to reading about your experiences Cheers Grant. Good day, sir Thanks for sharing all the info on cameras, etc.
Its greatly appreciated. I photographed a singer, who is rarely moving.
