Works with
- Native support for Canon EF and EF-S lenses
- Full-frame EF and APS-C EF-S lenses both mount directly

- Uses SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and Canon LP-E6 battery
Best for
Aimed at enthusiasts stepping up from entry-level Canons, the 70D suits stills shooters who want a fast 19-point all-cross-type AF system and a bright optical pentaprism viewfinder, plus anyone shooting video or working off the vari-angle touchscreen, where Dual Pixel CMOS AF really shines for smooth, reliable focus. As a 2013 DSLR it has no in-body image stabilisation (you rely on Canon IS lenses) and tops out at 1080p rather than 4K, but it remains a versatile all-rounder.
Frequently asked questions
Does the EOS 70D shoot 4K video?
No - maximum video resolution is 1080p Full HD at up to 30fps. 4K was not offered on this generation.
What makes the 70D notable?
It was the first camera to use Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which brought fast, smooth phase-detection autofocus to live view and video shooting.
Can I use both EF and EF-S lenses?
Yes. Both mount natively - full-frame EF lenses and APS-C EF-S lenses are all compatible.
Does it have in-body image stabilisation?
No. There is no IBIS; stabilisation depends on using Canon IS (Image Stabilizer) lenses.
