The editors didn't like
Learning curve
Spotty Bluetooth connection in some instances
Small pentamirror viewfinder. Very limited burst shooting in Raw mode. Video autofocus is choppy with non-STM lenses
The phase-detection autofocus system is feeling its age and competitors have caught up with the Live View performance. The tiny autofocus points in the viewfinder also remain annoying to use
And the feature set remains lackluster
Live View focus seems sluggish
Some physical controls are awkward to navigate
Physical controls can be awkward to navigate
Program mode tends to produce darker exposures
Images are very noisy after ISO 800
Colors appea
Lacks weather sealing of one direct competitor
95% viewfinder coverage makes precise image framing problematic
Seems to clip highlights a bit more than competition
Littlechanged from the earlier T4i
Slow Live View and video autofocus
High ISO performance is unimproved
Belowaverage battery life
No dedicated AF illuminator
Slow 'hybrid AF' performance in live view and video modes (compared to mirrorless competition)
Slightly higher noise levels than its peers
Default dynamic range lags a bit behind its peers
Using flash with Auto ISO enabled results in ISO 400 even in bright light conditions
Cannot configure common live view and movie mode options independently
AF illuminator integrated into flash (must have
Limited AF points and buffer hamper action performance
Body can feel a touch plasticky
Not a big upgrade from 650D
Can feel a little plasticky in places
Not suited to action photography with limited AF points for tracking and a small buffer

The phase-detection autofocus system is feeling its age and competitors have caught up with the Live View performance. The tiny autofocus points in the viewfinder also remain annoying to use, and the feature set remains lackluster
While the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is -- almost literally -- the same solid camera as its predecessor, it's starting to lag frustratingly behind the competition in some ways....
Sensor records lots of detail, Comprehensive feature set, Responsive variangle touchscreen, High quality video
No new sensor, LCD attracts fingerprints, No WiFi, Lags behind others for dynamic range and signal to noise ratio

Relatively light and compact, Great overall image quality, Good overall speed
Changing exposure can be a little cumbersome, No clear differentiators between the 650D and 700D
The Canon EOS 700D isn't a major step up from the 650D, but it's definitely a very good camera. It's capable of capturing high quality images, it's relatively easy to use and it doesn't feel heavy in the hand, especially with the 18-55mm STM kit lens atta...
We've always loved the look of the photos that Canon's EOS cameras produce and the 700D is no exception. For the first time, here's a consumer-orientated camera that delivers that sublime quality with no significant drawbacks.Rival cameras have more sophi...
Fine 18MP still images, Helpful vari-angle touchscreen, 5 fps burst mode
Build quality not the greatest, Video focusing improved but issues remain, No wireless connectivity
Recommending the T5i for still photography is a no-brainer. It's easy to use, takes quality images and has enough technical headroom so you can spread your creative wings if you care to. Movie quality is just OK, however; perhaps we've been spoiled by t...
