Story Updated 7/9/13 7:57 p.m. ET

A new DSLR camera from Canon claims to be a "game-changer" when it comes to photo- and video-focusing.

Called the EOS 70D, the camera captures video with "smooth and precise" autofocus that's similar in quality to that of a camcorder, thanks to Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, according to its website.

What's more, the EOS 70D boasts 20.2 megapixels, and includes a 3-inch LCD monitor with touchscreen capabilities, as well as Wi-Fi. Watch the video, above, for more details on specs.

The DSLR is priced at $1,200 on Canon's website. Do you think it's worth the money? Tell us in the comments, below.
