<p>Mid-level DSLR cameras are starting to take on features from all other cameras; including features from point-n-shoots, ILCs and all levels of DSLRs, making them more powerful and easier to use at the same time. We have put together a side-by-side comparison of two of the top mid-level DSLRs, the Canon EOS 70D and the Nikon D7100 to help show you some of the advantages and differences between the two.</p><p>Sensors</p><p>Both the Canon EOS 70D and the Nikon D7100 feature APS-C sized image sensors. Both systems feature a sensor cleaning system to remove dirt and dust. Although they are the same size, there are some very big differences between them. The Nikon features a higher pixel count, with a 24.1-Megapixel CMOS imaging sensor, for a higher resolution image than Canon.</p><p>On the other hand; Canon's 20.2-Megapixel, Dual Pixel CMOS imaging sensor provides larger pixels and greatly increases the AF performance in several ways, which we will talk about more under the AF system. Even with the differences, both cameras produced excellent images in all lighting conditions.</p><p><a href="http://www.steves-digicams.com/knowledge-center/dslr-showdown-canon-70d-vs-nikon-d7100.html">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/marketplace/2740-6501_7-147108.html">Canon EOS 6D 20MP DSLR Camera Body for $ 1289 + free shipping</a> (CNET)</p><p><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/best-digital-cameras-of-2013-the-sony-alpha-a7-fujifilm-x20-and-canons-eos-100d-9013453.html">Best digital cameras of 2013: the Sony Alpha A7, Fujifilm X20 and Canon's EOS ...</a> (The Independent)</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/12/18/crunching-numbers-4-insights-camera-sales-data/">Crunching the Numbers: Four Insights We Can Glean from Camera Sales Data</a> (PetaPixel)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d96dCuLuj3iDQHMRdMaCY2mEn_AgM&ned=us">10 additional articles.</a></p>
