I had been looking to upgrade and move my T3i to backup position.

T5i cheap, slightly better than my T3i, uses same batt and grip.
60D *yawn* the T5i feature appeal to me more.
7D pricier, uses CF, same sensor, ripe for replacement.
6D really awesome and I want it but two of my three lenses would have to be replaced and I'm not ready for that. Also wildlife photography is something I enjoy and a crop body makes my effectiveness a little better in this area.

The 70D seems like a good compromise. It would not blow the budget. All of my lenses should work with it. It has all of the advantages of the 7D that mean anything to me. It uses SD, has WiFi, presumably at least a little better high ISO performance, and a video mode that I might actually use. Considering 99% of my photo are just family photos I think I finally found my next body.
