Canon has officially announced the successor to the 60D, the Canon EOS 70D. It follows the same build and features as the older 60D but with additional features like a dual-pixel CMOS sensor.

The Canon 70D sits between the older 7D and the 60D but Canon introduced the dual-pixel CMOS in order to capture better video at faster focus times. It’s actually almost the same body size and design as the 60D.

Canon EOS 70D specs:
20.2MP APS-C Dual-Pixel CMOS AF sensor
IGIC 5+ Image Processor
7fps continuous shot
ISO 100-12800 (25600 expanded)
19-point AF system
1080p video @ 30fps
3.2″ touch-sensitive ClearView II LCD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
SD/SDHC/SDXC support

This sample promotional video from canon shows a lot of recording tricks and capabilities of the camera:

Looks like Canon is focusing on video recording rather than still picture quality of the 70D.

The Canon 70D will retail for $1,199 for the body only or $1,349 with the 18-55 STM lens, or $1,549 with the 18-135 STM lens. No word on pricing and release date for the Philippines yet.

CanonRumors reports that they just got a tip from a “very reliable source” that the Japanese imaging giant is brewing up three DSLR cameras this year.

Canon 7D

Two of these cameras are said to be under the entry-level category; 70D and a Rebel (700D). Although we agree with their first guess, we’d like to think that the other camera would be a refresher of the 2-year old 1100D. The rationale for our hypothesis is that Canon would want their entry-level offering to be in the same playing field as the Nikon D3200. Here’s a chart to show you the difference between the 1100D and D3200 in terms of specs:

Comparison 1100d vs D3200

The other camera that is said to make its debut this year is the 7D Mark II. This also makes sense, considering that the camera is turning 3 years old this year. If this is true, then we may expect better processor and sensor under the hood, higher focus point number, better display, higher ISO range and maybe CF/SD capability.

EOS M

Apart from the three DSLR cameras, Canon is also rumored to release a revamped version of their mirrorless camera – EOS M. Although there’s not much known about the immediate successor, we can probably expect Canon to fix some of the gripes that the MILC has such as its incredibly slow AF capabilities.
