Most important changes:
1, 20.2 MP APS-C CMOSE senor
2, DIGI5+ image processor (provide best response for the new sensor)
3, 1080/30P Video shooting. Normal upgrade as expectation.
4, ISO 110- 12800 (can be up to 25600)
5, 7FPS continous shooting speed


The release of dual core CMOS has great influence on two users groups: the video users, and the beginners who prefer to use screen to find view. And it is the first APS-C from canon over 20MP, but the amazing place of it is from this data. Famous director Vincent said that 5D Mark 2 redefine the camera of imaging industry, then this 70D has prominent meaning in short video shooting.
