We don’t really understand it either, but perhaps more important is what it can do. Each individual pixel (the smallest structural unit capable of outputting an image signal) on the CMOS sensor incorporates two independent photodiodes (elements that transform light into electrical signals) which output signals that can be used for both imaging and the phase-detection AF. What is it? According to Canon’s literature:ĭual Pixel CMOS AF is an innovative new image-plane phase-detection AF technology that employs a CMOS sensor on which all of the effective pixels are able to perform both imaging and phase-detection AF simultaneously. The new 70D does not offer RAW recording, 4K video, or even 1920 x 1080 60 fps, but it does offer a new focus mode called Dual Pixel CMOS AF. They did also release this year the 4K capable EOS 1D C DSLR, but at $12,000 this camera is a very niche tool.
Clearly most of the action has been happening in the EOS Cinema models the C300 and the C100 are intended – and priced – for video professionals. If you already owned a Canon 7D or a Rebel T3i, there was little reason to consider buying a newer camera. You might be wrong.Ĭanon remade the video industry with the 5D Mark II, but for the last two or three years their DSLR updates have offered virtually no improvement in video capability or image quality. Expected to ship in September with an estimated retail price of $1,199, you’d be forgiven if you assumed this latest DSLR will have little impact on the video production field. The latest in their series of black, semi-pro DSLRs, the 70D has a 20.2 megapixel sensor, a DIGIC 5+ image processor and built-in wi-fi support. This week Canon announced a new mid-level DSLR, the EOS 70D. In Cinematography, Filmmaking, Production
