Title: New Canon EOS 70D Body and Old Lenses Post by: Fotobuff on November 04, 2014, 08:17:13 AM I am using a Canon EOS 600D DSLR camera for the last two years and would now like to get the newer model EOS 70D. This is also a DSLR with an APS-C sensor. I would like to know whether it would work optimally with my old EF and EF-S lenses. Theoretically, there should not be a problem but in practice, can there be a drop in image quality ? ???

Canon lenses are not optimized for any particular camera body and work equally well with all. The 70D image quality will be higher than your 600D.
I have a 70D and use it will all my canon lenses from 500mm to 24mm primes and a whole bunch of zooms. I got mine from ADORAMA. Right now they have a special which includes the 70D body, a 32GB class 10 Sd card, a 3 year extended warranty and a LowePro shoulder bag for $999. The 70D alone is also $999, so make sure you get the kit. Shipping is free. Given that a used 70D is $899, a new one for $999 (Canon currently habe a $200 instant rebate on it) is a good deal and the extra items make it even better. You can use this link to get to the kit: Canon EOS 70D kit (http://www.adorama.com/Refby.tpl?refby=rflAID012417&sku=ICA70DA) I really like the 70D. Since I got mine it's become my camera of choice, even over my 7D most of the time. |
