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

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 Canon EOS Rebel T5i is a decent camera. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a good value, but it's a known quantity: It's a T4i with a new mode dial. The Rebel line of DSLRs has offered a consistent level of quality that—while uninspiring—is good for ...

Hybrid AF system boosts live view and video focusing speeds, great quality stills from low ISO range, great combination of traditional buttons and touchscreen controls
Small buffer means burst shooting is limited, image noise at high ISO settings, it's a repackaged 650D
The Canon EOS 700D doesn't break new ground for this class of camera, nor is it a huge change from the 650D before it. If you own the previous camera, there's little reason to upgrade: it should be the excellent 70D that you set your sights on. The...
Abstract: The Canon EOS 700D is a brilliant piece of kit: along with its 18-megapixel sensor, it boasts a quiet focusing lens, an easy-to-use touchscreen, a simple button layout and supreme video skills, but is it too much of a good thing? Watch it in our video ...
Takes fantastic photos, Flip-out touchscreen, New video-friendly kit lens
Only minor upgrade over 650D, Not the very best autofocus in class, Live View is still too slow
The limited new features of the 700D mean that as an upgrade it's almost pointless. If you own a 650D the only real difference is the lens, and that's available on its own anyway (albeit for £200). Indeed, if you currently use a 600D or even the four-yea...
Good image quality up to 3200 ISO, Excellentquality swivel LCD touchscreen, Generally responsive / Continuous shooting at 5 fps, Pretty comprehensive video mode, Good software package included
No WiFi, GPS, USB 3, Optical viewfinder is a little tight, No weatherproof finish, Autofocus is still a bit too slow to be useful in Live View mode, Still not many STM lenses to choose from, AF assist with flash isn't exactly discreet!
The Canon EOS 700D takes over seamlessly from the 650D. It's a well-balanced SLR in photo mode with 5 fps continuous shooting and speedy response times. It also does a great job of keeping digital noise in check. The 700D isn't a bad option for video eith...
Impressive noise control, Good video capture, Responsive touch screen, Lightweight body
Limited AF points and buffer hamper action performance, Body can feel a touch plasticky, Not a big upgrade from 650D
The Canon 700D is an excellent DSLR at a good price. It's not a massive step-up from the 650D, but anyone looking to upgrade from an older model should have it high on their shortlist alongside the smaller Canon EOS 100D....
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...
