    Hey all has anyone by any chance seen or tried the new Canon 70D.

    I just ordered a Canon 7D and then I saw this. I can get this new one for the same price. I just wanted to see if anyone knew of anything. Is it worth it?

    It's only been announced. I doubt anyone has had hands on yet. I think stores are only taking pre-orders.
