Not worth it unless it comes with $600 lens.

That is why I posted it. The 70D has defects that Canon has been aware of since its release, and refused to address. If my post saves one person from wasting $599, I'll consider that a job well done.

Only if they use bounce flash, other than that, the 70D was pretty decent. I am not aware of any other glaring issues?

Agreed and it's not an issue that impacts each one. Have not experienced any bounce flash issues with mine and been nothing but pleased with the 70D shooting everything from portraits to landscapes to bird in flight.

Like any deal, the use-by date is probably past... ;)

Just the bounce flash. Not all bodies.

Okay just wondering, due to your passion about not buying the camera, it sounded like there was quite a bit more to it.

It would be like going to to a patient that is having stomach pains, and telling them "your digestive system is a complete mess, you can't eat anything can you?", and then when they ask, you say "well, you only have reactions to eating cheese, well swiss cheese really, so don't eat that". :D

Sorry, I was on my phone earlier. Bounce flash was the only problem I had with my 70D. To be sure, not all (I don't think even most) bodies had that problem. It matter HUGE to me for two reasons: I do a lot of bounce flash. Canon twice told me the camera had a problem (I documented it thoroughly), and twice refused to fix it. Lots of people used the 70D without issue. I just wasn't one of them.

It had several notable improvements over the 60D. Better high-ISO results, faster fps, deeper buffer, way better AF, MFA, and others I've probably forgotten.

I highly recommend the 80D.
