My Canon EOS 70D - Brief review

I bought my Canon EOS 70D back in January last year (2014) after shortlisted a few cameras.
The main reasons I chose 70D were mainly due to its Dual Pixel CMOS AF that delivers full-time continuous autofocus ) for video & Live View still shooting and also its 3-inch articulating LCD touchscreen.
The camera came with Canon EF-S 18mm-135mm STM lens which is not that bad.

My Canon 70D retail box was shipped with the following items:

• Canon EOS 70D DSLR body
• 18-135mm IS STM lens
• Front and rear lens caps
• Eyecup Eb
• LP-E6 Battery pack
• LC-E6 Battery charger
• IFC-130U USB interface cable
• EW-EOS 70D Wide shoulder strap
• EOS Digital Solution Disk CD-ROM
• Software Instruction Manual CD-ROM
• Camera Instruction Manual booklet
