(Watching this video right now) but just want to say videos like this are awesome. As far as 70D vs 6D I wouldn't really want to invest in full frame myself. Lenses are more expensive, though if I get the same lenses for a crop I can use the lens' sweet spot which is nice. Noise doesn't bother me. Just got a 70D and I'm ecstatic about it. I have a real appreciation for how much I should just ignore noise as it doesn't show up on a regular monitor/print but even at high ISOs it looks like film grain which no one minded that much (except the photographers). And being able to use auto-ISO is so refreshing and liberating. I'd rather have grainier photos than blurry ones.
Great job Toby! I can imagine how long it took to edit everything. Thank you very much. My conclusion is that the 70d has the best ratio cost/quality. As an photo and video enthusiast, it covers very well my needs with a resonable price. By the way, I've just bought the Sigma 30mm F1.4 Art and it's a perfect match with the 70d if you are looking for a beautiful bokeh...
Wow great comparison. I am not that much interested in video work with my DSLR but this comparison looks good. I think the post processing of this review takes much time for you! Very nice work, thumbs up.
Toby I got in to the HD video with cameras that let me shoot in manual mode in the late 2012. I pick up a Canon Vixia HF G10. When I went on the web reading and learning on the forums people said to learn photography. Witch I learning I pick up a Canon t3 1100D. Then last fall I got the 70D.to do both. I know you are in to photography more than video. I would guess you use video the most to shoot your shows. One thing I have not seen anyone yet cover is the three autofocus modes on the 70D in video. I know a small aperture is going to give me everything in focus and a large aperture a more shallow depth. I guess my question is have you got any info on the three autofocus modes on it and what mode if best to use at different times? I know someone shooting video for a film is going to use manual focus a lot. I have only see blogger talk about the AF tracking on the 70D. I do wish Canon would give us a focus lock we could set on a button like they did with the upgrade on the EOS C100. Philip Bloom did a test on Canon Pro channel in Vimeo. vimeo.com/89607288
Hi Michael - I don't have a video about those different modes at this time but I find myself using flexi zone single most of the time- this way I know exactly what the camera is focusing on, similar to the reason I select the point through the viewfinder. If trying to track someone, especially someone facing the camera and will be moving around the first mode is best. I will have more to say soon!
Great video. Hugely informative. The 5D3 seems to have better overall contrast but I like that the sound on the 70D (which I have) is better since I don't have/use mics yet. The ISO test on the stream was a bit disappointing though with the 6D maintaining more detail. Can you chalk that up to crop vs full size sensor mainly?
Yes - There are a few other images I had that I didn't include which does illustrate that although the 70D does very well for a crop sensor it does start to lose detail before the 6D because of that 6Ds much bigger sensor size.
your vids and your knowledge is quite amazing. thanks a lot. Is there anyway you can do a video on macs. I just got myself a 70D which you helped gain wisdom for and basically help me in deciding which camera to get, but i dont know much about computers and specs for bouncing my own vids for youtube. I really would appreciate your wisdom in this matter. once again great work man. seriously...
I am flat out running right now with just the photo stuff but I hope to share more about video in the near future. I have a decent macbook - we talk about it here in the desk tour section at 26:40 ruclips.net/video/m-n5RzPrxW8I/видео.html use Final Cut Pro X for video editing and it is powerful but still easy enough to use. Keep bugging me every few weeks and I will see what I can do :)
wow 70d is not that bad the quality is the same as 6d if you take away from the grain at a high iso but if you have a good lighting equipment you can take away from that also use plug ins to take away grain another thing the grain doesn't bother too many customers.. as long as it haves a hd look to it and doesn't look to low quality you can get away with it to save a extra 1,000 ill go for 70d get a good lens and more camera accessories
Great Vid, I only have T1i had it for about 5-6 years I have only two lens 18-135 stm and 50mm 1/8. I am at my max with this DSLR. I would like to upgrade to full frame. The two cameras I been thinking of is 5DM3 and D750 I hate to jump ship because I am so use to Canon but I really would like to do indoor shots and video and sports which Camera is the best for my money for what I am doing?
I enjoy your videos, and actually was able to rent a road trip kit from Lumoid (6D), at the moment I am thinking buying 70D for music video shooting, which one would be the best lense to buy? I dont care much for lense noise since I will use off camera audio?
CameraRec Toby the small screen of phone and low res is the reason behind not noticed differences for me. Thx so much Toby beacause u interests in our comments
good video.....may I ask though,,during live view 70d cannot manually or it doesn't give that sound to confirm that you are in focus in manual focus mode?
When focusing manually with 70D - live view or view finder there is no beep that you are in focus. Only when auto focusing do you get a beep, unless you have turned that off.
This video is so good! Exactly what I wanted to see. Thanks for making it!
Dude your by far the best camera presenter i have ever watched when it comes to comparing +1 !!
Keep it up
I agree!

I would really love to have a 70D, seems like it suits me very well
Amazing 70d results with crop sensor, i have it for 1 week and its awesome.
Thank you so much! Excellent display of the side by side results.

Very informative review! Thanks sir. Keep it up!
dude you rock! most of my answers are being answered and Ive been asking people all day about these cameras
Glad I could help. feel free to pop over to my FB page facebook.com/Digital.Photo.Recommendations where I am even more accessible for Q&A
Toby, another good video. I assume you got your 70d back from Canon's service department for the focusing issue. How did that come out?
5dm3 win
autofocus on the 70D is better than the other canon cameras

great video, now Im using canon 60d, want to upload, but confused what model to buy, 70d or 6d ! how about 70d and 6d hdmi out ? uncompress ?

Three years later I realized that they are all the same for the video, the difference is that 70D crop
does it make a big difference to have continues focus on 70d vs 60d when video or do most filmmakers use manual
Very good video, thanks for sharing.
wow 70d is not that bad the quality is the same as 6d if you take away from the grain at a high iso but if you have a good lighting equipment you can take away from that also use plug ins to take away grain another thing the grain doesn't bother too many customers.. as long as it haves a hd look to it and doesn't look to low quality you can get away with it to save a extra 1,000 ill go for 70d get a good lens and more camera accessories
I wonder if 6D actually has much better in-camera mic or it was because of settings... To me 6D audio sounded a lot cleaner.
on all cameras I had audio on default out of box settings. 70D sounded best to me but very close to 6D.
Great Vid, I only have T1i had it for about 5-6 years I have only two lens 18-135 stm and 50mm 1/8. I am at my max with this DSLR. I would like to upgrade to full frame.

Hey Toby, Could you do a review for the New Pentax K-3 because I think it is a very interesting DSLR..
The 6d audio sounds better than the others
I thought it and the 70D were pretty close but agree 6D is just a little better.
Is it a good idea to use Canon full frame L lenses on aps-c sensors? Then if ever wanted to upgrade to FF then at least they would work.
Yes definitely do that. Saves a lot of money.
Thank you.
I enjoy your videos, and actually was able to rent a road trip kit from Lumoid (6D), at the moment I am thinking buying 70D for music video shooting, which one would be the best lense to buy? I dont care much for lense noise since I will use off camera audio?
Hi Toby, have you used the 7D before. If you have, which one should I buy, the 70D or the 7D?
I watched this video in my phone They look like the same performance. I think the big difference between them appears after 800 ISO.
I agree but there are some dynamic range differences and clarity under that 800 ISO too.
CameraRec Toby the small screen of phone and low res is the reason behind not noticed differences for me. Thx so much Toby beacause u interests in our comments
Toby, Is the center focus point of 6D is more sensitive and accurated focusing in stills than focus points of 5D mark III ?
Which one would you recommend for video 70d or 6d? (I don't care a los the dual pixel focusing cause I always use manual focus)
which camera has less moire and aliasing in video between the 70d and the 6d ?
good video.....may I ask though,,during live view 70d cannot manually or it doesn't give that sound to confirm that you are in focus in manual focus mode?
When focusing manually with 70D - live view or view finder there is no beep that you are in focus. Only when auto focusing do you get a beep, unless you have turned that off.
thanks!
Guys, I am stuck about which camera to buy: 6D (with 50mm 1.8 as a start) or the brand new 80D with 18-135USM lens.
Both are excellent - If you aren't going to be doing video or action I would get the 6D.
I would wait...the 6D Mark 2 is expected to come out in the summer of 2017.
Alfredo Rodriguez 6d is rumored cancelled and instead canon is doin a full frame mirrorless
what is the best camera for wedding portrait? 70D or 6D
+Naga Rajan 6D
+PhotoRec Toby 6D but not to far.. 70D is a good camera. go buy some great lens
