Comment:

The good news is that the new 20MP sensor in the 70D is the best Canon APS-C class sensor ever. The bad news is that it is still not quite on par with its competitors. It has often been suggested that Canon has given up on Bayer type sensors and is working on revolutionary new multilayer sensor technology. This may very well be true and Canon may lead the way again sometime down the road, but one thing is equally true: if Canon were to use third-party APS-C sensors instead of their own, their customers of today would have better cameras.
