Canon announced the new EOS 70D DSLR. The press release is stated as follows:
Canon Introduces The New And Powerful EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera
Featuring Instant And Accurate Focusing Of Still Images And Video
Designed to Change the Way Photographers Capture Images and
Video, New Camera Features Newly-Developed Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Technology, Built-in Wireless Capability, 20.2 Megapixel CMOS Sensor,
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, and More MELVILLE, N.Y., July 2, 2013 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a
leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to introduce the
high-performance EOS 70D Digital SLR camera - bringing advanced features
to photo enthusiasts looking for a step up from their entry-level
digital SLRs. Featuring an innovative new Dual Pixel CMOS AF system for
instant and precise focusing of video as well as still images, the EOS
70D also provides outstanding image quality and performance thanks to
its new 20.2 megapixel APS-C Canon CMOS sensor and Canon's superb DIGIC
5+ Image Processor.
Canon's newly-developed Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a
phase-detection autofocus (AF) technology on the camera's image sensor
plane, enables users to shoot video with the new EOS 70D close to the
quality of a video shot with a camcorder. Dual Pixel CMOS AF employs a
revolutionary CMOS sensor on which all of the effective pixels are able
to perform both still imaging and phase-detection AF simultaneously to
achieve dramatically improved AF performance over other EOS cameras
during Live View shooting and when shooting video.
Compared with Canon's conventional Live View AF systems, Dual Pixel
CMOS AF realizes shorter focusing times, exceptional tracking
performance and smoother autofocusing during video shooting. And,
because Live View shooting can be used in a manner similar to using the
camera's viewfinder, the fast and smooth AF performance allows users to
concentrate more attention on the subject and composing the photo when
shooting. Dual Pixel CMOS AF also supports 1031 models of EF
lenses (including many earlier models), enhancing a photographer's
creative options as well as maximizing the benefit of Dual Pixel CMOS AF
in a variety of situations.
"The new EOS 70D Digital SLR camera is a game-changing DSLR model
that incorporates advanced features for high-quality still and video
capture and intuitive operation that allows photographers to evolve
their creative vision from shooting still images to shooting moving
images," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general
manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.
"This camera's outstanding image quality combined with built-in wireless
technology and popular creative functions and filters makes it easy to
turn photos into works of art and share them immediately."
Wireless Connectivity
The EOS 70D Digital SLR camera's built-in wireless transmitter offers
users several connectivity options to easily share their images. With
the download of the free EOS Remote app2 from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store, users can connect to both iOS® or Android™ smartphones and tablets3
to wirelessly transfer photos and videos from their camera to their
device. They can also control aperture, shutter speed, and ISO from
their smartphone. This camera also has the ability to connect directly
to Canon's iMAGE GATEWAY4, making photos easily accessible
and ready to share on social networking sites. In addition, the EOS 70D
has the ability to connect wirelessly to computers, DLNA devices, Wi-Fi
Certified® Canon cameras and wireless PictBridge5 compatible printers, such as the PIXMA MG6320 Wireless Photo All-In-One printer model.
Superb Still Performance
Featuring a new 20.2 megapixel APS-C Canon CMOS sensor and Canon's
superb DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, as well as an extensive ISO range of
100-12800 (expandable to 25,600), the EOS 70D Digital SLR camera is
capable of producing sharp, detailed images, even in low-light
conditions. And with high-speed continuous shooting of up to 7.0 frames
per second (fps) united with a 19-point all cross-type AF system
(including a high-precision f/2.8 dual cross-type AF center point), it
allows photographers to easily capture accurately focused fast moving
subjects. In addition, the camera's Scene Intelligent Auto Mode
delivers optimized photos and offers outstanding scene detection for
amazing results even when shooting in low light.
The EOS 70D also incorporates a 63-zone Dual Layer IFCL (Intelligent
Focus, Color & Luminance) AE metering system which enhances accurate
exposures by minimizing random metering errors caused by varying
subject colors and light sources. Other useful features include a
built-in Electronic Level Function, Manual WB settings and AF
Microadjustment.
Enhanced EOS Full HD Movie Mode for Professional Quality Video
With Canon's new Dual Pixel CMOS AF system and Movie Servo AF, the
camera provides continuous phase-detection AF during video recording for
quick and accurate focus tracking of moving subjects in the central 80
percent of the imaging area. While shooting with any of Canon's Stepping
Motor (STM) lenses, such as the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens,
motor noise from the lens is significantly reduced so the camera will
only capture the stereo sound of the scene being recorded. For added
flexibility, the EOS 70D Digital SLR camera also features a built-in
stereo microphone with manual audio level adjustment and an attenuator
function to reduce audio clipping, an accessory jack for external stereo
microphones and Video Snapshot mode with editing for expanded video
shooting options. When users select the EOS Movie Mode, the EOS 70D
offers the ability to shoot in 1080p Full HD video up to 30 fps in
either ALL-I or IPB codecs with optional embedded time code, matching
the flexibility of other current EOS cameras such as the EOS-1D X, EOS
5D Mark III, and EOS 6D models.
Expanding Creativity
The EOS 70D Digital SLR camera provides advanced amateur
photographers and photo hobbyists looking to hone their creative and
technical skills with an innovative range of in-camera imaging features
such as High Dynamic Range, Multiple Exposure, Handheld Night Scene and
HDR Backlight Control modes that allow for expanded creativity. The new
camera is also equipped with built-in RAW Image Processing and Image
Resizing functions.
When any one of the seven Creative Filters is applied in Live View,
users can preview the effect of the filter on the three-inch Vari-Angle
Touch Screen monitor without having to shoot the image first. Users can
pick from effects such as Art Bold, Fish-eye, Water-painting, Grainy
Black and White, Soft Focus, Toy Camera and Miniature and choose the one
that best expresses their creative vision before or after the image is
captured.
All of these features, when combined with a high-resolution
Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II with
intuitive touch controls featuring multi-touch operation and Touch AF,
make it the ideal camera choice for photographers looking for the best
in imaging technology.
The EOS 70D is compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S
lenses as well as SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, including Ultra High Speed
(UHS-1) cards.

EOS 6D Hands On
Reviews Rating
The good:The Canon EOS 6D delivers the photo and video quality you expect from a full-frame sensor, in a well-designed and relatively lightweight body.
The bad: While
the camera has nice extra features, like Wi-Fi and GPS support, it's
missing some basics for the price like on-camera flash, multiple card
slots, and a 100 percent-coverage viewfinder.
The bottom line:The
photo quality you get from the EOS 6D makes it well worth the upgrade
over a consumer APS-C model, but between this and comparable or
higher-end models it's a less obvious choice.
Canonhas justannouncedathird-quarterearnings,revenueof$10.3 billion,13%lowerthanthethirdquarteroflast year. In addition the profit dropped42%to$ 908 million.
Canonsaid that thisisduetoa strong yen,theEuropeanAsian marketrecession.SLRsales is not as good as last year,. Though the new model 5D3 which does not do muchto boost sales.
