First of all I didn't know 70D has been announced. You probably mean "7D" instead.

Beginner or not, if you can shell out $1800, the absolute best deal you can get is 7D with 24-104 f/4L Get em new, get em used, whatever you have to do within your budget, but get those as a base and I think you'll have a very versatile learning platform, plus it will last you a lot longer even when you're no longer a noob.
