    Re: Upgrading from 650d to 70d ?

    Google "SLRhut reviews" hence I stayed away from them, I used getitdigital on ebay (American company) for my grey import 1DX I just bought and I am happy so far, camera was in the UK and has a UK based warranty, though not tested that.
    I jumped from a 350D to a 50D, I can see your jump being just as successful :)

      I forgot to mention, re grey imports,

      REMEMBER IMPORT DUTY AND VAT WILL BE PAYABLE BY YOU ON TOP OF THE CAMERA PRICE. Some companies will repay it to you, mine was in the UK already, but the small print on the SLR hut site I think says it's down to you, SO CHECK.

        Interesting thread. I'm thinking of upgrading from a 450D to a 70D but was wondering if it would be worth the investment. It sounds like I won't regret it.

          70D is available from SimplyElectronics for around £500. I have used them several times with no problems.

            No, you won't regret it. The 70D is a marvellous piece of kit. IMHO, the only APS-C camera to (slightly?) Improve on it is the beast that is the 7DmkII

              I love my 7DmkII, but there was a particular alignment of stars which meant I could afford it, otherwise I would have very happily chosen the 70D (and even though I could afford the 7DmkII, I almost bought the 70D anyway).

                I tried the 70D and 7D in PC World and strangely found the 7D a bit big for my hand although the specs are almost identical.

                  Yes, the 7D2 is pretty big. I find it about the right size for my hands and can't believe how tiny and light my 600D feels now. I think the 70D is an excellent camera, but I had the money and I'm enjoying the extra focus points and the very high speed shooting.

                      I have a 70D which I bought 12 months ago and am very satisfied with it.
