I initially dismissed this as a Canon promo but then persevered... Bloody good intro and expo to the 70D (and other EOSs for that matter). Very well presented. Taught me a lesson: don't be a cynic.
Thank you Mr. Bill West, This is the best Cannon 70D Camera Manual explanation I ever found at youtube and very helpful to me. I will download your video and save it in a CD for a future purposes for my Cannon 70D. Thank you very much Sir.
This is an excellent introduction to the 70D. The one mistake I made initially was I was using it as an expensive "point and shoot". I found the manual brutal to read so this was a perfect 'tutor'. It provides all the basic knowledge to get started. The challenge is mastering the many capabilities and potential!
This has been the most educational video that I've found. It's down to earth and easy to comprehend. I've downloaded it so I can study with my camera in sections over a month to learn one button at a time to master it. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this all together!!
I know the comment is old , hopefully you have learned the 70D , however let me tell you , since 1800s Cameras were perfected , even today there are people making better images on 200 year old camera then 99% of people including Smartphones . Why ? Because , in taking Pictures , 2 things matter Light , and Composition ... Camera is irrelevant , of course im not saying sell 70D get 200 year old camera , what i am saying is get your Light and Composition perfected and your images will take on .
Friggin awesome video! I thought this was an official Canon video actually then I noticed the name was not produced under Canon lol This seriously should be released as a video with every EOS 70D sold. I have had this camera now since it first came out and have hardly shot anything beyond the Auto mode but decided about a week ago to finally learn how to use this camera properly after shooting some night time family shots with fireworks / hand held lights and deciding my photo's looked crap. I have watched a coupe of video's that show you certain features but nothing that takes you through a step by step guide for novices - that is until I found this video. Bill West, your video is awesome and Canon should be using it to all new D70 buyers because it really is simple, straight forward and is a great step by step for new D70 owners. I tried finding Tutorial 2 but alas, it looks like you have not made on yet - I hope you do. The only changes to your video I would make would be when you change modes, try and use the same background all the time to show the difference, I know you mostly do it with the girl but not always :-) In video 2 (if you make it!), please include how to set modes for various scenes and what are the best settings (i.e. What to set for fireworks for example). I'm a way off video 2 yet of course but I hope you do one. Thanks for a great video, i finally feel like I have a tutorial video that will walk me through the camera properly - bloody excellent job Bill :-)
I am so glad that I've found this very useful video. I have saved a lot of time and learned so much in such a minimal time. Much appreciated and thank you very much.
I bought my EOS 70D new and used it for one holiday. Since then, it's been stored inside a cupboard. I abandoned it for a Panasonic Lumix G9 M4/3 and that's been my main camera since then. I am going to start using the EOS70D, but I will need to buy a decent prime lens first. Thanks for your video, it created a spark!
This seems to be more of an introductory tutorial focusing on basic camera functions especially as they relate to taking still photos. I would highly recommend for anyone new to this camera as I am to begin familiarizing themselves with the camera by first reading in its' entirety the manual that came with the camera, (providing it came with the camera when purchased). Once you have read through the manual in its' entirety and set up your camera if want or feel you need a video tutorial that is at best introductory this video will fulfill some of that desire/need. Personally I would prefer something that is more in-depth that includes a comparison with similar models, reasons for choosing this model and why one might want to consider a different model along with needed accessories as well as an in depth tutorial on setting up the camera for both using it for still photography and for video all the way through advanced functions. Including tutorials on framing shots, exposure, and care.
I know I'm super late to the 70D, but this video was incredibly useful! I've been fiddling around with the camera for a few days now as I received it without an instruction manual, thank goodness for this upload!
Wow!! This is video absolutely awesome. You should have at least 500,000 views on this video! It is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen. It's very clear, concise and easy to follow and understand. I'm a novice and I purchased this camera based on the positive reviews but I was so intimidated to get started because of all of the settings and options. This video tutorial made me feel very comfortable and confident enough so I can actually start using it. Canon needs to pay you for this professional tutorial because they don't even have anything this nice on their own website. You are awesome!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😀👍😀

, i know this cuz i have it,,, this is the original video made by canon themselves
You're right... The video is indeed a complete introduction to the camera but with an added twist - a detailed description of each of the camera's features and functions and how to get the most from each. That being said, there are many videos available to you on TH-cam to address all of the things you mention. Good luck!
Q2: lens selection depends on how you intend to use the camera. I.e.: portrait, action, real estate, etc. once you figure that out, pick a good Canon zoom lens.
The ring I believe you're referring to a to allow the placement of a lens filter which comes in many different uses. Thanks for your comments. It's appreciated ! Bill
Hi Bill I got my now canon 70D I just love it its a big jump from canon 1100D your video is really amazing I come from Glasgow Scotland and thanks again cheers.
I finally was able to replaced my stolen T3i Rebel for the even better model, EOS 70d. I'm very happy with this camera and I'm looking forward to enjoy every minute of it. Your video is most educational and insightful. Coming on part 2, maybe? :) Thanks!
Chenda William * they’re so many variables to you request. May I suggest you search TH-cam using your exact photographic needs in the keywords. As an example portraits, indoors, etc.
+Carolyn Pino The EOS 760D (exactly the same as T6s) differs from the EOS 70D only in that it has a 24mp CMOS sensor vs. the 70D's 20mp sensor. That's basically it. I purchased the 70D on 11/22/15 because it is a slightly more comfortable body but very light. It's similar to the more expensive Nikon 7200 that also has 24mp. The 70D IMO has the best features for a great black friday deal! I saved $500 through Costco ;-)
Great tutorial ! ... I watch other who where quiet good ... But in comparison , your go in better details in the infos and the visuals of what you explain and demonstrate & I really appreciated ... I will see if you have other tutorials ... You got a fan . All the best.
Thank you so much for this great video! i just bought this canon d70 love it !! btw , do you think hoya CIR-PL filter is good one to buy ?thanks again !!!!
Regarding lens choices for video is the beauty of this camera. Any work! Consider what your shooting and choose the lens that works best! AF does the rest! For me a zoom choice works best. But wide angle or telephoto is also good.
ok I noticed you have labeled this tutorial 1 but do you have more . you explained the 1st one so well I was looking for more. but didn't find anymore on the 70d.
Great information here. I'm looking into buying this camera. I can't find anywhere whether or not it has built in time lapse features or panoramic features. Can you touch on these 2 features at all?
Great video Mr. West. I appreciate it. I new to camera's...Q: What is the small ring for at the front of the lens? When I use it nothing seems to happen or I am missing. Help. And Q2: What would you recommend as a good affordable companion lens to the 18-135mm?
+carbonfiberbutterfly Not sure if you found your answer within the last 2 months, but that ring is for manual focus! When you set your lens to Manual Focus instead of Auto Focus (AF / MF) you can use that ring to adjust the focus.
I’m so with you honey😊... this video is now my bible lol, do you have a 70d... I’ve had one for a while, never really used it... I’m learning very slowly about photography, always something I’ve loved and adored.... just never got round to doing it. So much patience is needed though😉😊😂
When I press the AF button i don't get the same menu (AF Operation) that you show. Mine reads FlexiZone - Multi and has 4 different AF modes to chose from. ?????
Is there ANY way to run video INTO the Canon EOS 70D? Reason I ask, I wanted to do an experiment recording gameplay footage and wanted to run it directly into the camera, instead of recording it on the game console, or having to shoot the TV screen. Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks.
I have a question? I’m trying to find the part where you said while you’re in the camera you can go ahead and upload the Wi-Fi quickly? I find that having to stop the camera take it off the tripod and tripod and then try to upload Wi-Fi is very lengthy.
I just got a 70D for shooting real estate photography. Well I need to be able to adjust the exposure while in HDR mode but I can't see the adjustments being made live in the LCD screen. Is that possible? Any advice will help!

Finally decided to pick up a used 70D. This is VERY useful. Clear, concise, but broad in covering all functions. Thank you.
Had this camera for two years and just finally sitting down to learn everything on it. Best vid by far!! ❤
I’ve had mine for about seven years and I’m doing The exact same thing. This video has already helped me tremendously in the last two days!
