70D vs 7D

So, I have been trying to discern the difference between these two models, but I really don't see any big differences. I am looking to upgrade from my Rebel and these look like a great way to go.

Keep in mind that the Canon "lens" make the difference
7d has 18.0mp no wifi. Little old but not that old. Holds its ground for the built
70d has 20.2 mp with wifi. New upgrades like the digi 5+
7d should be have a good market price.
7DM2 is coming out soon. 20.0mp newer upgrades of coruse. Action DSLR. I would advise to wait =P.

Unable to shoot tethered with a Canon 70D

I am trying to practice shooting tethered for an upcoming shoot. I am unable to get Lightroom and my Canon 70D to connect. I receive the dialog box shown below several seconds after attempting to connect. I went through all the steps on the "Troubleshooting tethered capture in Lightroom" and can shoot tethered using Canon's software. I am using Lightroom 5.3 on a MacBookPro 13 inch with 16 gb ram running system 10.9.1

Lightroom does not currently support tethering on the 70D.

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. Can someone help? I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized. The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
Are you using PSE 11 and not 12? PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

A video camera that looks as good as the EOS 5DIII & the new 70D

Hi everyone. I really want to make myself clear on my questions, so I'm going to preface them with a short wall of text. My apologies.
I work for local government and we film political meetings, PSA's, informational videos, documentaries, and local government events (groundbreakings, ribbon cuttings, roundtables, etc). We are still entirely standard definition. For the past 7-9 years we've only used Canon XL1's and XL2's, but in the last 2 years we've gone tapeless.
For our first foray into this, we first bought JVC GY-HM150U's (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/821133-REG/JVC_GY_HM150U_GY_HM150U_ProHD_Handheld_Memory.html). Our main desires here were: small, universal file type (we use several different editing systems), a "super full auto mode" for our non-advanced users, XLR inputs for microphones, relatively inexpensive, and SD or CF card slots. Obviously, we nailed all of these features with this camera, but the video quality is lower than we could've expected.
At the same time, we purchased a Canon EOS 5D Mark III for taking still pictures during events. Then, to our ultimate downfall, we started using it for interviews and documentary type shoots. I'm sure I don't need to tell you all the shock we were in for when it came to the amazing picture quality of this camera. To take these two cameras on a shoot together is pointless as the JVC's could not even come close to the quality of the Canon's. However, we cannot use the 5D as a primary camera during these shoots for several reasons (which I'll point out below). We began following the development of the new EOS 70D with interest when we found out it woud fix some of these features. Coincidentally, another department of ours purchased one and we were able to use it for a few shoots. It does seem to have as good a picture quality as the 5D, but it still lacks some features we need.
So, in preparing next years budget, I'm looking for actual video cameras with the amazing picture quality of the 5DIII and the 70D, but doens't have the limitations of a still photography camera. Any help would be appreciated.
Problems with the 5DIII as a primary video camera:
no follow focus, only records for 30 minutes segments, only 3.5mm audio input (need XLR)
Problems with 70D as a primary video camera:
no headphone output, can't adjust audio input levels while recording, still only records 30 minute segments, 3.5mm audio input
I'm an Audio / Video technician and video editor. I do a lot of filming, but do not know much of the science and technology behind the inner working of the cameras. As an example of our programs, below are two things I filmed with the EOS 5DIII.
Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide.

I'm not a video guy. Canon lists their Cinema EOS video cameras on a separate section than they use for their EOS cameras.
The cinema cameras and their specs can be found here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/cinema_eos_cameras
Based on specs, I'm thinking you would probably be well-served by the C100. It takes the same EOS EF lenses as your 5D III so you can get the look you want. It records in AVCHD with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 -- which is fairly common.
The cards are formatted FAT32 although it says it can record continuously for up to 12 hours. I'm not sure how it pulls this off because no single file on a FAT32 filesystem which constrains individual files to a maximum of 2GB (that's a filesystem limit... not a camera or operating system limit). I'm "guessing" that it automatically creates a new file and just keeps streaming video as one file fills up.
You should probably rent one to make sure it meets your needs.

CR2 files from Canon 70D in Elements 11 on windows Vista

I cannot get Photoshop 11 to recognize (open) CR2 files from my Canon 70D camera. Running Windows Vista. Is there an update for this for Vista.

Photoshop Elements 11, you mean?
The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 or later
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
8.2 is only compatible with Elements 12 or later
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Either
upgrade to Elements 12, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the Raw files from the 70D to DNGs then open the DNGs in Elements 11

Problems downloading RAW files into Lightroom 4 from a 70D camera.

I had a canon rebel xsi and had been able to download my RAW files to lightroom 4. However, I have recently bought a 70D and is won't download into Lightroom 4. I have been told that Lightroom 4 doesn't support the 70D and I have to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Is this correct, or can I get some kind of plug in? Also if Lightroom 5 how much would it be for me to upgrade, is an "upgrade" cheaper to someone who has already got Lightroom 4.

Once you buy LR 5 you can install any of the LR 5.x versions where LR 5.7 just came out and supports the newest cameras, like the Nikon D750 or Canon 7D Mark II along with all earlier models.
It would be wise to download and install the LR 5.7 as a trial and make sure it works for you before buying the upgrade. The minimum OS is 10.7 and Win 7, I think, so if you’re on XP or Vista or OS X 10.6 then you’re out of luck.
The various version of LR are available on the Adobe Updates site: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
They will run in trial mode for 30 days or until you enter appropriate serial numbers.

Bridge CS4 won't open RAW files from Canon 70D

I have Photoshop/Bridge CS4 which used to read CR2 Raw files fine from old Canon 30D@. I've just purchased a Canon 70D. Bridge CS4 will read the MOV video files fine, but not the Raw CR2. I've downloaded and installed Adobe DNG Converter 8.5, but when I open it and it asks to open files to convert, the CR2 files are still unreadable and greyed out. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.4. Is there some way I could preview RAW files from the 70D in Bridge CS4, and open in Camera Raw?

You need to upgrade to PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) You could also use the Canon software that came with your camera to convert to tiff, which would open in PSE11.
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

How to get lightroom3 to download raw files from Canon 70D even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5

I have a Canon 70D and my old lightroom3 will not download raw files even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5 on my iMac. how can I overcome this problem?

theovanderveen wrote:

Neither Adobe, nor any other company that produces a Raw converter, ever retrospectively adds new camera support to old (obsolete) versions of their software.

How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically. However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
Help >> Updates
If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market. We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago. However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
<Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
Hope this helps.

How to open Canon 70D Raw files in PSE9? [was:Raw upgrade]

Can someone help? I have just bought a Canon 70D but my copy of Photoshop Elements 9 won't read the raw files. It was OK with the raw files from my 450D. I have tried downloading the upgrade to raw 6.5 (although I'm not sure that is what will solve it) but when I try to do so Internet explorer can't cope and my computer flashes on and off until I have to hard boot. I would like to just submit this question to Adobe but I can't find a way to do so! (I have tried)
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

The EOS 70D was first supported by Camera Raw 8.2 (current version).
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
PSE9 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.5 - so PSE9 won't open your Raw files
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So you either need to upgrade to PSE12 (to open and edit the Raw 70D files in PSE)
or convert your Raw files to DNGs using Adobe's free DNG converter then edit the DNG files in PSE9.

How to open canon 70D RAW files in Lightroom 4?

I have udated LR 4 to LR 4.4. It is supposed to open the newer Canon camera RAW files like the 70D. After updating with the download from Adobe LR ver. 4 will still not open the 70D RAW files. Does anyone have any suggestion? I must be doing something incorrect or am missing a step to the update. Thanks!

Not so, 70D support was added in Lightroom 5.2 ... Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
You have a choice to upgrade to Lightroom 5.6 or use the DNG convertor to convert the CR2 files to DNG and import.

I am unable to download my picture from my camera canon eos 70d to my computer.

I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD MY PICTURE FROM CAMERA CANON EOS 70D TO MY COMPUTER. I HAVE INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FROM CANON EOS SOLUTION DISK 28.2.

"...The question then came up whether repeated removal/insertion of the card (in the computer and camera) might eventually wear out the contacts on the card, or worse the camera..."
Yes, there will be wear and tear over time. It also is possible to force a card into the slot crooked and damage the socket.
Are these much of an issue?
In my opinion, no. I change memory cards fairly frequently (mostly Compact Flash, which are probably the most easily damaged), sometimes use 12 or 15 memory cards in a day's shoot and have been doing that shooting digitally for ten years... And have never had even one card wear out or managed to damage a card or socket myself.
Note: I have pulled a card out too quickly, while it was still writing, and lost about 1/3 of the images on the card... Once! I also have had one "bad card" right from new, from a major manufacturer. Three other identical cards are working fine.
I do have one older DSLR with a "bent pin" in the Compact Flash socket.... But I bought it that way for $15 in hopes of fixing it. Unfortunately I think the particular pin that got bent managed to short out some of the other electronics in the camera, so it's probably not practical to fix (makes a nice paperweight). I've seen other cameras, particularly those using Compact Flash memory, with bent pins. Some were pretty easily fixed. Others needed a new socket or more.
Just looking at the posts on various discussion forums, I suspect it's a much more frequent issue for the USB cable or the USB socket in the camera to wear or get damaged. Plus camera batteries are only good for a certain number of charge/discharge cycles (I've heard 400X is typical, but don't really know).
So personally I'd be more concerned about directly linking the camera with the USB cable and leaving the camera powered on while downloading.... Feel better just pulling the memory card and using a card reader.

Can't get LR5 tethered capture to work for 70D - EOS utility won't install

I am attempting to setup tethered capture on a macbook pro with Mavericks, Lightroom 5 and a Canon 70D.
Lightroom 5 tethered capture alternates between "no camera detected" to "Canon EOS 70D" a few times and then posts the following error:
"Tethered Capture is not able to connect with the camera Canon EOS 70D (error code Canon EOS 70D). Please try restarting Tethered Capture or relaunching Adobe Photoshop Lightroom."
After browing for a solution, some have suggested that need to install the latest EOS utility software.
The EOS utility CD (ver. 28.2) that came with the camera will not install. I can browse the CD, see the files, etc. but when riunning the installation the installer appears on the dock for a split second, disappears and no error is given.
I downloaded the latest software from the Canon website, but it is upgrade only software.
I found an old EOS utility CD and it installed fine on the laptop.
I then attempted to upgrade the software by using the new CD as well as the upgrade file from the Canon website.
No matter what method I use, I still get the same results. I click on the installer, it appears on the dock for a second, disappears and nothing is installed.
If anybody has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Do I need the EOS utility software installed to perform tethered capture in LR5 with a 70D? If so, why won't it install?
Thank you,
Larry

"Do I need the EOS utility software installed to perform tethered capture in LR5 with a 70D?"
The answer to this question is, no. However I am not a Mac user but many of my Mac friends complain of problems with Mavericks and LR and possibly EOS Utility. Canon has full d/l availibe for you instead of just the upgrade. They are also on the site. (at least for Win machines)
You may need to find a Mac site to help you with this. Sorry I am of little help.

I have photoshop CS 4 extended. Just recently I purchased a Canon 70D as well as a Dell 17 Inspiron with windows 7. When I download my pictures from my camera to the computer, they will not open up in raw, only jpeg. I contacted Canon, and they told my to try something but it did not work. How do I get my raw pictures to open up in CS 4 on my new computer from my new Canon 70D?

You will never be able to open your raw files from your new camera in CS4.
You need version 8.7.1 of the Camera Raw plug-in (ACR), which only runs in CS6 and higher.
You need to locate, download, install and run the free, stand-alone application Adobe DNG Converter on each batch of raw files from that camera, in order to convert them to raw DNG files that can be subsequently opened by ACR in CS4.
Remember you need to launch and run the DNG Converter on each folder (not files) containing your Canon raw files. THe DNG Converter doesn't do it magically for you just sitting on your HD.
Or you can upgrade.
