Hey all,

I was sadden after trying a 70D in a store the other day,
-the autofocus (lazy me) was great, i own a 5d3 and its cool to see any camera from Canon with autofocus since i am used to Manual hit and miss at times, but what took me by surprise with the 70d was the limitations.

1-first off one needs the remote app for wifi viewing which was no problem but then i got an error saying no SD card NO try,

2-then as i was reaching for a SD card at home i decided to google up which one and learned users  where frustrated with the lack of recording time, Canon is tricky when they claim a camera can record UP TO 30 mins.; UP to is not 30 but UP to, depending on the heat some said.

3-While googling i learned many other features are limited and as we learned from ML sites its all probably SOFTWARE MARKETING LTD by CANON the one and only, i can make a lng list here like one is not able to adjust Shutter , sound etc once record enable to even recording video with wifi viewing on.

Are people wure its possible to open up those features here, i read that the camera gets pretty hot and some even suggested the BMCC (smaller cameras)

Will earthlings ever reach the edge of the universe?  This question and your question, are one and the same.  Both are impossible to answer accurately.

I haven't heard folks talk about the heat of the 70D being an issue.  But I did hear that for the T2i, and the problem there was the LCD screen being fixed to the camera.  I suspect the greatest source of heat would still be the LCD.  Since the 70D is articulated, just keep it off the back and its not an issue.
