A short video by dpreview where they test and show the Dual Pixel CMOS AF of Canon’s new EOS 70D. About the Canon EOS 70D they say:

It’s become increasingly rare for any manufacturer to show us technology that’s genuinely innovative and unique, but that’s exactly what Canon has done with the EOS 70D and its ‘Dual Pixel CMOS AF’ sensor.

dpreview added a “user experience” section to their preview, be sure to check it out: there are more videos and impressions. Original video files can be downloaded.

More AF test videos at salon.web, sample shots (also high ISO) at Digital Life Innovator # and Digital Life Innovator #2 and Digital Life Innovator #3 and more samples and videos.

dpreview updated their in-depth preview of the Canon EOS 70D with lab and real world sample pics (using a pre-production model). About the innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF dpreview writes:

We’ve only had limited time with the 70D, though, which means it’s too early for us to say definitively how well its live view AF system works in practice. But based on what we’ve seen so far we’re pretty optimistic – it’s certainly streets ahead of anything Canon users have experienced so far.
