“ The Nikon has more focus points but only 15 are cross-type and they are all in the middle. The Canon has 19 ALL cross-types with a nice spread so I don't feel the Nikon has a big advantage over the Canon, plus the live mode focus for the 70D for both video and stills is amazing. FPS is actually 7.5 for the Canon which makes it a capable sports camera. The swivel touchscreen is very useful for low angle, high angle and video. ”
