If you're a camera enthusiast, then you're probably aware that the Nikon D7100 has won two prestigious awards by being voted as the best camera 2013 - 2014 by both EISA and TIPA.
Canon has recently released its EOS D70 and with its many exciting new features, supporters of this new model are convinced it is going to be a front-runner for the prestigious top camera of the year 2014 -2015 awards.
It was release world wide in July of 2013 and replaces the 60D model.
Amazing Features
The D70 is Canons newest mid-range DSLR and features a 2.0 megapixel sensor, full high-definition video, a touch-screen monitor, built-in Wi-fi capabilities, and a new system for autofocusing that's promised to deliver superior performance during both Live View and movie shots.
.
Another improvement that Canon has focused on with this release is the AF micro adjustment, which boosts continuous shooting.
However, the headline feature that's going to make this camera stand out is the 20.2 megapixel CMOS sensor. These allow 80% of pixels on the sensor to also be used as phase-detect AF points.
Basically, this is one of the most exciting DSLRs on the market today and it offers a challenge not only to the D7100, but also many other supposedly superior models currently on the market.
Small Changes
In addition there are some basic feature changes which are designed to make this model user-friendly, for both the avid and novice photographer.
The 70D has a simple control that lets you enter Live View and the movie mode. It's a button which can be used to switch between options and works very well and I think is a great asset.
There is also a simple mode dial and a new AF area button.
The touch-screen is a huge improvement.
This mid-range DSLR camera will now also appeal to many professional photographers.
Some differences between the D7100 and the D70
First, the screen on the Canon is fully articulated which allows users to flip it out and twist to any angle. This is a huge asset when taking shots from an awkward angle where you need more versatility.
The touch-sensitive screen is the second benefit that's going to make it a great option.
You can now tap through the menus, swipe and pinch during playbacks and also tap to focus anywhere on the screen no matter what you happen to be shooting.
Upcoming Changes
The world of photography is always changing, and camera manufacturers are usually working towards coming out with the next best thing.
Currently, the newly released Canon 70D appears to be aiming to become the top model in the mid-range DSLR market and only time will tell if it succeeds.
The camera definitely offers a very serious challenge to Nikons D7100 comparative model which is excellent for all photographers since it will keep manufactures in the photography business to remain extremely competitive and at the same time improve and deliver on their new innovations.
For users who love versatility and high-quality photography, this challenge is going to be a great big bun fight that will truly benefit the SLR consumer.
