70D for wedding video

We're looking to get one of my friends or family members to use a70d just to record the wedding for our own memories. It does not have to be a professional quality but do you guys think this will be able to handle it and it inexperienced hands?

Yep, the 70D should be up to that, it shoots full HD. I haven't shot a lot of video for ages (and not weddings), but technically that camera should be more than capable. I'd definitely give it to your friends a couple of weeks before though, so they can get used to using it, and check the light at the venue - if you're backlit, you don't want to be silhouetted and this can be tricky for inexperienced shooters.

We use it all the time and great camera for it. We use a few different lens for it, all zooms.

We used it before. Now we use the 80D. So it should do your job.

The camera would certainly be up to the job. The bigger question is whether the person using it is up to the job. Personally I think shooting good video is even harder than shooting good photos so if you accept that it will be a fairly amateurish video then you'll be fine.

I would disagree a little bit. Correct in you have to know what you are doing, but with the 70D and the right sliders and tripods, you can do some great things with that camera and the 80D as well. The trick is the editing. If you do that well, won't be amateurish at all.
