20.2MP APS-C DSLR body for stills and video

The Canon EOS 70D body uses a 20.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5+ processor to deliver high-resolution images with natural tonality and low noise. The 3.0 inch 1.04m-dot vari-angle touchscreen simplifies composition from awkward angles. Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides smooth focus tracking during live view and Full HD 1080p video recording at up to 30 fps. A 19-point all cross-type phase-detect system handles fast action at 7 fps continuous shooting.

Thermal performance and power efficiency

The magnesium-alloy body dissipates heat effectively during extended shooting sessions or video recording. No active cooling fan means completely silent operation in quiet environments. Power draw remains modest thanks to the efficient DIGIC 5+ processor and LP-E6 battery platform. The self-cleaning sensor unit activates automatically at power on or off, taking about two seconds to remove dust from the low-pass filter without user intervention.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF for live view focus

The on-sensor phase-detection system covers approximately 80 percent of the frame horizontally and vertically, enabling reliable continuous autofocus during video and live view stills. This single feature determines whether the camera suits creators who need smooth focus pulls without external accessories. Buyers who require 4K video, headphone monitoring, or dual card slots should consider other models. The body-only package includes no lens, so existing EF or EF-S glass is required.

Questions about this item

How do I mount a lens on the EF/EF-S mount of this body, and what step is often missed?

Align the red dot on the lens with the red dot on the mount, turn clockwise until it clicks, then remove the body cap first so the sensor is not exposed while the lens is off.

What maintenance will the 20.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor need later?

The self-cleaning sensor unit runs automatically for about 2 sec at power on or off; manual cleaning is also possible taking about 5 sec.

What limit appears first during sustained 7 fps shooting?

The buffer fills after a burst of full-resolution frames, pausing capture until data clears to the SD card.
