I am looking at upgrading my 600D in the coming months and am considering the 70D as the best option at the moment. Finances won't allow me to go full-frame as I would also have to replace lenses. My other alternative is to persist with the 600D a bit longer and wait to see what happens in relation to the rumoured 7D release which if true may force 70D prices down or make the 7D an option (finances once again permitting).

I was just wondering now that people have had the opportunity to use the 70D for a couple of months how they are finding it as this seems to be the way to go for me at the moment. Particularly interested in IQ, focussing and higher ISO performance.
