Fujifilm X-T1 vs Canon 70D, Fujifilm X-T1 is a high-end mirrorless camera and Canon 70D is a high-end DSLR camera, take a look at the comparison below
Sensor
Fujifilm X-T1 features X-trans AF sensor with dedicated phase AF points in it + due to bespoke pixel array design the X-T1 doesn’t need low-pass filter.
Canon 70D have Dual-pixel AF sensor with dedicated Phase AF points with the sensor, but sensor architecture is traditional and it does need low-pass filter.
AF system:
Both camera supports Hybrid AF system, Canon 70D is limited to 19 AF point only, Fujifilm X-T1 AF area is divided into a 49-point matrix and covers more screen area compared to Canon 70D.
Digital Split Image technology in X-T1 it make a bridge between Manual focus and Autofocus method, through the implementation of four striped focusing aids; similar to a rangefinder focusing method, once all the four strips are lined, it means focus is acquired and you can press the shutter button.
ISO
We have noticed few things that will surely have impact on low-light perofrmance
Fujifilm X-T1 have bit bigger sensor size compared to Canon 70D.
Fujifilm X-T1 have less megapixel count + bigger sensor, that clearly means the X-T1 photodiodes are larger than Canon 70D. The larger photodiodes collect more incoming light to sensor.
Finally, more expandable ISO range on specification sheet, (25600 vs 51200)
The Fujifilm X-T1 will perform better in low-light situation compared to 70D.
Video:
Fujifilm X-T1 can capture Full HD videos @ 60fps frame rate on the other hand Canon 70D is limited to 30fps frame rate.
Display:
The Canon have better display system compared to Fujifilm X-T1, with Canon you get ability to touch and shoot your subject and swivel LCD helps you to compose your shot effortlessly.
Both camera features Built-in wireless connectivity
Verdict: We highly recommend you to buy Fujifilm X-T1, since it comes with better sensor , no optical low pass filter and advance AF system.

Take a look at the High ISO test of Canon 70D vs Nikon D5200 vs Nikon D7100, Canon 70D comes with newly developed sensor that enables phase AF system during live view and movie mode without compromising with image quality,
take a look at the images published by the dpreview
 Image Credit – Dpreview.com  Image Credit – Dpreview.com From the dpereview test we can see that Canon 70D is showing clear images with more color and contrast compared to Nikon D5200 and D7100 DSLR, I my view Canon 70D is the best APS-C DSLR available in the market today based on specification and image quality.

Canon 70D first HIGH ISO test images surfaced over the web, But I have to say that I didn’t notice any significant improvement in the new 70D DSLR low light performance.
 Image credit – Imagine resource From the High ISO test we can see that Canon 70D using strong noise filter compared to 60D, images of Canon 70D have less details + less noise compared to 60D at ISO 3200 and 6400 , at 12800 both are almost same.
Canon latest Dual-pixel AF technology help 70D to do fast AF during live-view and video mode, but the ISO performance remains almost same, do you will buy new 70D or you are happy with your 60D DSLR?. If you have some time take a look at Canon 70D vs Canon 60D comparison review.

The Big problem in front of Canon was the slow contrast based AF system in DSLRs (When used in live-view / video mode), Canon started tweaking sensor from 650D, The 650D is first Canon DSLR with distributed Phase AF pixels within the sensor, after that 700D and 100D (both) based on same technology. But the Canon 70D is a complete breakthrough, 70D have two photodiodes distributed to each microlens. As a result, two parallax images are captured at once. With Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the amount of lens drive is calculated from the amount of signal difference (amount of shift) in the AF points. When the signals of two photodiode are in agreement the Focus is achieved.

Sony A77 vs Canon 70D (DSLR vs SLT), take a look at the major specification comparison review of both the camera and share your thoughts with us.
DSLR vs SLT
In the case of the DSLR, the mirror reflects light up into the viewfinder and then, once the shutter button is pressed, it lifts out of the way to allow the photograph to be taken, hence the ‘reflex’.
In the case of the SLT, however, the mirror is translucent, so it allows light to travel directly through it for the picture, with only a small amount being reflected for use in the camera’s autofocus system, thus eliminating the need for internal movement of the mirror.
Features Comparison
Sensor, ISO
Sony A77 features bit bigger sensor with more megapixels, but due to SLT technology only 70 to 80% of light is transmitted to sensor, a small portion is used by AF system, In Canon 70D there is no such issue, the mirror flip-up after AF is done and the camera sensor get 100% of incoming light.
There is no HIGH-ISO test images available yet, but we are sure Canon 70D will perform better even if the have same ISO range.
Auto-Focus System
With Sony SLT you get Full-time Phase AF while you are shooting video or shooting still images, Canon 70D features newly developed sensor with Dual-pixel AF system, hence the AF is 5 time faster than conventional contrast detect system in live-view and video mode.
Continuous Shooting Mode
Sony A77 features 12fps of continuous shooting mode, Canon 70D is limited to 7fps only, So the Sony A77 is approx 2X faster.
Video:
Both Camera features Full-Time AF during video recording, Sony A77 offers 60fps of frame rate @ Full HD video recording, Canon 70D limited to 30fps only.
Canon STM lenses support for 70D, Canon STM lenses / lenses with step-drive motor for silent AF specially designed for video recording.
Built-In Wireless Connectivity: Canon 70D Wi-Fi provides remote control over the camera’s exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO) as well as focus and the shutter release from an iOS or Android mobile device when using the Canon EOS Remote app.
Display: Canon 70D offers bright 3.0″ 1,040k-dot vari-angle Clear View II touchscreen LCD monitor, Sony Alpha comes with Sony’s 3.0 inch Xtra Fine LCD monitor with 921K dots.
Both camera features built-in HDR and Multiple exposures modes.
Verdict : Canon 70D features advance core specification, we highly recommend you to buy Canon 70D DSLR, Sony A77 is recommended for sports shooter (if they need 12 fps continuous shooting speed and more megapixel)
