- Just my thoughts on the old master of TH-cam video, the 70d. I was able to borrow my friend's 70d for a while so I thought why not make a video about it in 2022. Spoiler alert! it's a great camera and is more than capable in today's photography market. It is even a great photographer's TH-cam camera. Thanks for watching.

Canon 70D

I just pulled the trigger on a 70D yesterday, showing up this weekend. It’s my first personal camera, and the first DSLR I’ll ever have used for more than a couple auto focus shots. Appreciate the hell out of your thoughts on it!
I’m glad it was helpful 👍
I picked up a 20D a few months ago as my first prosumer camera. It’s been a blast to shoot with but it’s hard to tell if I’ve dialed in my exposure triangle correctly on the 1.8 in LCD display. Its limitations have been a fun challenge. If you’re looking to get into photography, the 20D still takes fantastic pictures and you’ll appreciate its simplicity. That being said, this is a great review of a potential upgrade path for the photography curious looking to make it into a lifelong hobby.
20D is a classic! The 70D would make a great upgrade. It has many of the same body features and controls. Thank you for sharing! The 20D can be had for a pretty great price these days too.
Canon 70D was a great camera which I loved. But didn't know it's so susceptible to use of the video option! I enjoyed recording videos with it for short durations. But then, the main-board got injured and started giving frequent trouble. Finally, I switched off both video and live view options and sold it out at throw-away price mentioning the issues to the customer.
Now, I've bought a 90D. Wondering how it will behave!
Best of luck with your new camera 👍
Goodluck with your 90d
@@NoProJoe thank you. As a policy, I abstain from using video options of my DSLRs. For this purpose I bought an entry-level Sony Full HDR Handycam. It's average category however, dependable for video recordings. It's tailor-made for shooting movie clips for hours without trouble.
@@quazisanjeed6395 I've been very lucky. I've used all of my DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras to shoot my videos including a full length documentary and fingers crossed no problems as of yet. It is true that a purpose built video camera can be your best option. Thank you for the information :)
I call this camera my wife. Going strong in 2022 and beyond.
Definitely a workhorse.
My Canon 70D is my first back up after my 6D and R6. Great camera, and the prices you can get them for now is amazing!
Definitely a gem of a camera
Most video intros suck. Yours was awesome!! Love the showing of all you personallys. Perfect video about the 70D. I got out of filming/shooting and wanted to get back going, but not wanting to up my gear straight out of the gate.
Thank you! The 70d is definitely a solid choice for starting out. It doesn’t have the stabilization of today’s cameras, but on a tripod or gimbal it’s great.
Bought mine years ago when they were new. I am NOT a photographer but used it to shoot our studio commercial 'FAQ' Video series on our website. Super local, small hair studio but loved it. Of course I can only compare it to... it. Hahaha Just took it back out to reso our series. Been a great camera but man it's hard... for a non-pro... to not just use our S24 phones. Crazy good cameras for the non pro.
Yeah phones have gotten so good for quick videos it’s hard to justify busting out a big ole dslr 👍
I don’t know how anyone could say the 80d isn’t as good. I have the 70d finally looking to upgrade (probably mirrorless) but I’ve used the 80d and it just feels better
I am still using the Canon 70d to this day. Although I also own the Canon 80d and Canon Cinema C100 Mark II, I prefer the Canon 70d for many events. A few years ago, I made an experimental video using the Canon 70d, but not the other two cameras that I mentioned. Here's a link to the video: th-cam.com/video/RDaxnhgB28c/w-d-xo.html
It’s definitely a great all around camera. I’ll check the vid out.
Thanks, Legend! Much Appreciation for you and your excellent content. Cheers, Brother. 😎
Thank you brother! Cheers!
I have always liked to have the first version of everything. I feel like that is where the producers put in the most effort, the first version...then they just make minor changes. And not always in the rigth direction. I have the 7D, 6D, 5D MK2 (the MK2 because of the video) and the first EOS-M. With software upgrades, they are more than good enough. Every camera is a compromise anyways. :) Fun fact, I'm an employed potographer and photo teacher. I use the 5D for studio work...and the 6D, the 70D for wildlife, sports and so on. And for video. 1080P 24 FPS is more than good enough. The EOS-M is more something I just carry around. :)
It’s all about the right tool at the right time. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Joe, amazing video, thank you so much! I have a 70d and really wanted to record TH-cam videos with it - very similar to your setting. Your video looks seriously impressive in comparison to what I managed to film. Unfortunately I don't know how to use the manual settings, and the image turns up a bit granulated, dark and the image quality just looks deteriorated overall. Do you mind sharing what type of light did you use to make the image look good? Also, any tips on the camera settings? Any help would be massively appreciated and thanks a lot for the video once again!
Absolutely, I'll try and put a quick video together for you. Hopefully it will help. Don't get frustrated. It's absolutely a skill that must be learned. If you watch my old videos they are not good at all. They slowly got better.
Here is a link to a quick tutorial I made for your question. I hope it helps. th-cam.com/video/xUkwO2G06eM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lYtZZ_pAAVon3wIq
What would be the best lens for family photos? Currently using Crop Sensor Camera Canon EOS 70d.
A nice family photo lens is the Sigma 17-50 f2.8. It’s a good all around lens that won’t break the bank
@@NoProJoe Thank you so much !
Used the 50D, the 70D and now the 90D. Let's just say Canon's APSC DSLR cameras just keep getting better and better. I can't see myself jumping to the 'R' line... Not seeing a 3x improvement in image IQ to justify the price.
The R models are very nice. However, I agree with you. It’s hard to justify the extra money to get into the system.
@@NoProJoe the R models really shine if you're a regular shooter of highly mobile targets like flying birds. Their AF system is like night versus day, even if compared to the likes of either a 7d2 or EVEN a 5d4! On even the r6 first mirrorless job I think, the AF "sees" the eye on a flying bird and tracks it in flight, almost so perfectly that high quality shots of even fast flying birds are the norm in not fully expert hands. But you pay big for those models being new tech, I'm sticking with my DSLRs including both those above mentioned, .i tell myself that I want to retain credit for my better shots as they're "only" shot on older tech! Those R cameras getting mainstream has meant that there was never a better time to buy high end used DSLRs, with maybe some 1DX models remaining pricey.
@@SirBeauJangles oh a low priced 1DX would be awesome. I’d scoop it up.
I agree the 70d is better than the 80d
Just bought it 99% new. Quite good for a beginner like me, actually. But, what's your recommended lens for this camera for cheap for portrait?
The nifty fifty is alway a good choice for a cheap portrait lens. It’s a wide aperture lens so it gives some good subject separation.
@@NoProJoe Thanks!
I need a nifty fifty so bad!!! I got my 70d from a pawn shop 99% new too
@@kendasagenda3387 a nifty fifty is the best bang for the buck lens. You definitely need one.
I love my 70D. Dont even have a clue what i would get if i ever upgrade.
No need to upgrade 😊
@NoProJoe thanks, I look forward to watching more of your videos I just subscribed.
@@timkluna5185 thank you for subscribing. I haven't been making as much content as I use to with work and family. I like to make videos when I'm excited about something and want to share my experience. Thanks again!
I'm new about photography, and want to learn about macro and landscape photography, are 70D are still good for these? What you recommend for the macro and landscape photography with this camera?
I mean what lens that you recommend for macro and landscape photography with this camera?
The lens you use is more important to those 2 photography disciplines as with most. A good body with remote control is good too. The 70d would work great for both. The lens choice will make a larger difference.
@@NoProJoe any lens that you recommend for macro and landscape that suit with 70D? Thank you for your answer
canon efs 60mm macro is reasonably priced for a starter macro lens. The canon efs 10-18mm is a good stater for landscape. 👍
@@NoProJoe thank you for your answer
Just upgraded to the 90D from the 40D that is failing. Couldn't be happier since the mirrolels are taking over.
The 90D is definitely a solid camera. Enjoy!
I have the 70D! Not a professional, but have always loved taking photos. Struggling with getting a newer camera, but there’s nothing wrong with my camera. I want a great zoom lens for wildlife but not sure what would be a good one and worrying if I spend a good bit on a zoom lens will this camera even be able to do what’s needed to get sharp photos. Any suggestions? Am I overthinking? Will a newer zoom lens still produced great photos with the 70D? Any suggestions on a zoom lens 400 -600 range?
I had great luck with the Sigma 150-600mm amzn.to/3h0dOfo
It worked very well for me on my EOS R amd 7D. Definitely worth checking out. It’s heavy 👍
Joe, I have a 70D. What lens would you recommend for youtube talking head videos?
The 24mm STM from Canon is an affordable TH-cam lens. This is if you are mounting your camera on a tripod and have a bit of room. 24mm has a FF equivalent focal view of around 38mm so not really wide but great for tripod videos. If you are going to hold the camera the Canon 10-18mm is a good choice. It's nice and wide but you are not going to get a very out of focus background and you'll need good lighting. I used the kit 18-55 STM with lighting, the 17-50mm f2.8 sigma (load focus you need a lav mic or an audio recorder), and the 50mm f1.8 (you need a bigger area to use this lens because it is moving into telephoto range). In the end the kit lens, the 24mm, and the 17-50 were my most used lenses on my Canon stop for video. Confusing I know but there are many factors to lens choice. Let me know your shooting situation and I can make a better recommendation.
Hello Joe, I am New to the Cannon 70D and I recently bought it to film Vidoes, What lense do you recommend that will provide the highest quality for video with the 70D
The type of lens you use is going to depend on a few things. Will you be using the auto focus or manual focusing? What type of video are you shooting (indoor, outdoor, action, TH-cam talking head video)? The video you just watched was shot with the 18-135mm kit lens. If you have good light and don't care about the background being massively out of focus it works fine. I use to use the Canon 24mm STM f2.8 for video quite often. It had great auto focus, a wide aperture, fairly sharp, and it is actually a pretty inexpensive lens. Almost all STM lenses are great for video. The major problem with them is most of them have variable apertures. So the aperture changes as you zoom. This changes the exposure on your video and changes the look of the video as you shoot. This is avoided by choosing a focal length for the duration of the shot. I hope this helps, unfortunately, choosing lenses is not a straight forward thing. It's very dependent on your type of shooting.
Does it record continuously or it cuts off at ~30min and you need to start it again? Whats battery life like for shooting longer videos? Does it habe mic input?
@@nesscog2287 yes it has a 29.59 minute limit it also does 4.3gb file sizes. The battery actually works well. You’ll get a few hours. Yes it has a mic input and manual audio adjustments.
niyami sir
Great video i appreciate you ☺️🙏
Thank you I’m glad it was helpful 👍
Hi! Would you recommend the 70D at this current time? It would be my first camera for photography, I do know a bit about photography already and that’s all I’ll be doing with a camera and not video, I’ll meanly be doing landscape and portraits with some motorsport shots now and then, or would I be better with mirrorless, if so any recommendations! Thank you😊
It really depends on your budget. Mirrorless is the future. The 70d is a great all around camera. Lenses are inexpensive and it’s definitely versatile. I don’t think you would be unhappy with the 70d. It would be a great camera to learn and grow with.
Id step into a 5d mkii or go to mirrorless. If you're only doing portrait and landscape, I wouldn't worry about the 70d. I started with a Canon t2i, then canon 70d, I'm on a sony a7ii, and I'm about to upgrade to a sony a9. I do portrait, sports, and street.
@@joshuahoggard583 thank you, I went with the Canon 250d in the end, really love it and takes great photos
I still use the 70d in 2024 if it’s not broke
Absolutely! Not to mention its a great piece of kit.
@@NoProJoe I got my 70d used 4 years ago for $400 and sold my 60d the same day for $250 so $150 out of pocket for a 70d with a extremely low shutter count was to good to pass up. If/when I upgrade it will be for a full frame and that’s it. Right now a 70d and a Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8 and a Osmo pocket is the perfect combo.
I am just a seasonal camera guy. Last time I used mine was 2 years ago. Should I changemy 70D or swap it out with different full frame. Is there a camera that is lighter than this that is good for taking pictures and video in a way?
I switched from Canon to Olympus for the size factor. My Olympus is half the size and weight which makes it a joy to carry around on a long day of hiking. I'm not sure what kind of photography you do but a full frame camera will be just a big and heavy for the most part. The Sony A7 series (full frame) would be the exception to that. They tend to be smaller and lighter but the lenses are still pretty big and bulky.
I only do minimal photography. More on a fun hobby not for work related. Let’s say I go to an event I just want to take a clear photo and nice image. Some one offered me to trade it in with 5D or 6D. I guess it’s the 1st gent or (classic) as they say. What do you think? My 70D only has around 9,400 - 9,600 shutter count.
@@stephennesheanerandallalba8930 personally I would stay with the 70D. The 5D and 6D are great cameras but your 70D has more features. The af is a huge bonus on the 70d. The 6D definitely can deliver some impressive image quality but you’ll need good lenses to truly take advantage of it.
@@NoProJoe i see.. then it will be practical to just buy a 22mm - 55mm and make an adjustment to make it like full frame? My main reason honestly is to have a full frame camera. However I’m also looking that is more lighter and more cheaper same as the 70D. My 70D has only 9,545 shutter count as of now. 😅😅
@@stephennesheanerandallalba8930 full frame will definitely not be cheaper or lighter.
what's the limit 70D video can record?
It’s 29:59 minutes but in 4.3gb files. At 29:59 you’ll have to restart recording
is it good for sports photography
Definitely, it has good fps and a real good video mode. 👍 great on a budget and beginner
Curious, where can you find the shutter count on a Canon camera?
An easy way is to upload an unedited image to this site to read the EXIF data. www.camerashuttercount.com/
It has an AF issue. With Live view focussed but via view finder, it is always out of focus or We need to do microadjustment for each lems in the camera.
Is there any expert to repair it permanently in yhe body? Im ready to pay.
The live view focuses off the sensor like a mirrorless camera. With the mirror down it uses the focusing screen. I’m sure this is a silly question but is your diopter adjusted on your viewfinder? If so it’s probably something in the focusing screen area. Not 100% on how the magic happens but I’m sure a camera shop should be able to fix it. It’s a very common camera.
Thanks Joe, I had the 70D and gave it away and now I was looking at the 80d or the 90d but why go crazy when you can get almost the same tech for 1/4 the price? TY again!
The newer models definitely have all the bells and whistles. However, if you don't need said bells and whistles op for the much cheaper 70D :)
I'm stuck between the 70D and 2000D (Rebel T7). It will be my first camera and I won't be taking videos... Only photos to edit (or not edit) and post them on social media. Any help?
If you've never used a DSLR before and you are not sure if you will stay with it a used camera is almost always your best bet. The T7 is an ok option but it lacks a lot of important options. Most of all the AF system. The 70D has a much better AF system even though it us an older unit. 80D is even better. The processor in the T7 is quite old also. In fact it is a generation older than the one in the 70D. You can also look into an Olympus em10 mark iii or an em 5 mark ii. They also have great image quality and features. They are much smaller and lighter than the aforementioned Canons.
@@NoProJoe the thing is the used 70D is $500 and the used 2000D is $280. I'm low on budget atm and was thinking of getting the 2000D with a prime lense of 50 or 55mm. I was thinking the 2000D would make it hard on me, giving a better learning curve than the 70D. Also to understand when I reached the limit. I have seen a lot of reviews on the 2000D and it takes great shots, I will also be editing the pictures for social media purposes, starting as a hobby. Let me know what you think and thanks for the reply, really appreciate it.
@@iEcosanHD I’ve made great images with a T3 , so the T7 is absolutely capable. I just always try to recommend things that will cost less in the long run. That being said, if the T7 is in your price range then it is definitely not a horrible camera by any means. I shot a T3 and a T5i for years. Give it a shot. No pun intended 😊
Hi,
Thanks for all your vids, very enjoyable!
How do you find manual focussing on the 70/80D, or any DSLR, through the OVF?
I'm thinking of getting a Samyang 85mm 1.4 for my 70d, but without Focus peaking will I be able to focus accurately through the OVF?
Also how do you think that will handle shake without IS, as it will be over 120mm FF equivalent!?
Many thanks!
The answer is it’s tough through the viewfinder. You have to have a good eye. You can use live view and punch in on the image fore critical focus. As far as shake a tripod, steady hand, and a shutter speed above 1/120 should get it done. Outdoor shouldn’t be a problem. Your shutter speed will be high enough for hand held shooting without a worry.
@@NoProJoe hey thanks for such a prompt reply, really helpful cheers!
That's interesting info, I think it would be a safer bet & more satisfying then to go for the Canon 85mm 1.8 USM tbh; my eyes OK but not as sharp as 20 years ago!
I've used some of the cheap MF lenses on the Fuji EVFs & it's an absolute joy with focus peaking, but never on a DSLR.
I'd be shooting wide open so would make it even trickier, but yeah I guess my shutter speed would always be at least 125!
Thanks for your help,
All the best
@@Leon-dt8uo yeah af is always the best bet on a Dslr. It’s just easier and pretty accurate
@@NoProJoe great advice & greatly appreciated, I'll just stick with AF lenses on the 70d to make my life easier then!
All the very best,
Leon
Thank you Leon.
between EOS 70D & EOS M100 which one you prefer on focusing in video mode ?
They will both do a good job with video af. If I intended to do video mostly I would probably choose the 70D. It has better controls and an audio input.
@@NoProJoe many thanks 🙏 totally agree 🙌 battery size, 3.5 audio mic port, hot shoe and flip screen 🙂
For just photography….70D or T7i? Thanks.
I’d go 70d just for the pro features
Should I buy the 70D I want to make videos and nice photos of myself.
Depending on your skill level using a DSLR camera it takes wonderful pictures and video. The camera does have auto modes but the results aren’t optimal. The lens that is used is very important also.
Is it still good for vlogging this year 2023?
For static locked tripod work I’d say yes. For walking around there are much better choices
Would I be ok to buy Canon EOS 70D at this time?
I don't see why not. Will you be using it for photography and video?
@@NoProJoephotography
@@machungapachuau7101 definitely 👍 image quality it great and lenses are inexpensive. It’s a bit heavy but a great camera to learn and grow into.
Could you make an vid about da m200 cus there is a lack of vids over the m200
Unfortunately, I don't own one. However, I do have an m100 video which is very close to the m200 with the exception of the 4K option.
Would you recommend the fz82?
I’ve never used one but the specs look good. My only complaint would be the extremely small sensor. The camera will struggle to Garth light. Especially at the 1200 focal length
Do you recommend me to buy 70 D camera
Definitely, but for the right person and purpose. It’s a very nice hybrid photo/video camera
I’ve been looking up if it had Wi-Fi I can connect to my smart clone with . Do you know the answer to that?

@@IceMan8247 they’ll absolutely work. The 18-135 is just a good all around lens. The sigma 17-50mm f2.8 is a fabulous photography lens. Not so much for video it’s noisy
Should I buy the 2000d or the 70d ? Please reply
What is the differences that would make me buy one of them from ur point of view
The 7D and the 2000d have some things in common. The 2000d has 6 more megapixels and a digic 4+ processor but other than that the 7d is the better camera. The fps on the 7D is much higher, it has professional controls, it’s built like a tank (weather sealed magnesium alloy build). The 7d is 18 megapixels with a digic 4 processor. The focusing is faster on the 7d and the tracking is better. If I were making the choice it would be the 7d over the 2000d. That being said, the 2000d will work just fine and produce nice images for all general photography. The 7d is getting old and finding a good body might be tough. They are definitely out the with very low shutter counts but you have to do your research.
I don't know why the guy didn't mention it but you talked about the 7D while he asked for the 70D. I'm stuck between these two options and would like to know.
would an 80D be good?
I loved my 80D. I shot a ton of portraits and vacation pics on it. I had it paired with a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8. It was a good combo
🙏🙏🙏
Please someone out there help to explain to me, I bought used 70d when I received it and when I turn on and off button I can hear the noise but I also have few camera and I don’t hear the noise. Thanks
Is the lever set to live view (the images shows on the screen and not the viewfinder)? If so it is the mirror you hear flipping up.
