The EOS 70D with the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens is my second DSLR after the EOS 550D - also with an EF-S 18-135mm kit lens - which was purchased shortly after it was launched in 2010. It was a wonderful experience using the EOS 550D for the last three years, taking it to several countries during family holidays, even to a high altitude of 3883m or 12,740 ft at minus 16 degrees Celsius at Glacier Paradise in Zermatt, Switzerland to capture thick, snowy landscapes.
