Pal in the house pls has anyone here used 70d and 7d for shooting before ? I want to buy one for myself and I have only used 7d and the video quality is great but I dnt like its focus and overheating problem so I need to know the better one between it and 70d or if there is anyother dslr cam that can match its video quality with the correction of those turn off I listed here be it nikon etc that will be of the same price range or even cheaper. Thanks 4 ur suggestion...

The video quality is the same but the 70D has autofocus during video. BUT and a big but is the 7D MKII announced today is better than both of them. By the way the focus on the 7D is fine, nothing wrong with that at all, but yeah the overheating is a pain in the behind.

Ah my guy, cameras plenti na but let's be honest the OP is specifically looking for a certain 'price point' which we all do. Not many people will 'own' the CION, it's more of a rental-house camera. What is it... 12 stops of DR? When one can get 13 stops out of much better and cheaper cams. And I seriously doubt it'll be a good run 'n' gun cam as the lowlight performance will not be there.

Just Google prices depending on where you want to buy. I personally will probably never buy another Canon DSLR again as they are two years behind 'the norm' in tech features... toys out there are have been doing 1080p @ 60fps for years and Canon has only just added that to the 7D MK II and want to brag about it? smh what idiots. Common phone dey do 120fps and some even 240... I beg.

As for the 7D MK II price; I'm in the UK so I ignore 'release date' prices... you should look to US prices ($1800 - body only yet in the UK body only is almost $2500... for what?). Anyway, let's say performance-wise it betters almost every other Canon DSLR but don't be an early-adopter as you'll only find out any 'problems' way too late.
This is the time of the year to just wait and see what everyone else is doing... even brand new comer Samsung has just today abi yesterday dropped the 'NX1' a 4K resolution 'DSLR' out-of-the-blue.

You're welcome. Just remember that almost everything costs so much more here than in the US - a practically one-stop-shop for filmmakers is the famous B&H New York (the general rule is only buy 'universal' cameras and DON'T buy lights & certain electronics there as per the US 60Hz vs UK/Naija using 50Hz) - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ Oh and I believe they recently added Naija to the PayPal list.

Would you advice one to go for the Samsung NX1 instead.?

What affordable camera would you opt for now if you were to go shopping?

No I wouldn't. But I also wouldn't advise anyone to go for 'anything' without knowing what kind of shooting they want to do... no camera does everything or every style. It's always about picking the best tool for the job.

prof800:

Depends what one means by 'affordable'... to some that would be $700-$1000, $1000-$2000, $2000-$5000, $5000-$10,000 and then those above that.
Generally it'll be DSLRs, Panny GH3&4, the Blackmagic cameras and similar for the first 3 price ranges... in that bracket I'd probably pick a Blackmagic camera... in terms of dynamic range they beat every DSLR/Mirrorless cam out there.

But as I am actually shopping and to answer your question about what 'I' would get... my 'next' cam is the GoPro 4 Black edition for my quadcopter
