Other stand-out features that add up to a great DSLR include effective continuous auto-focusing during movie recording, something that DSLRs have always struggled with or simply not offered at all, stereo rather than mono sound recording, 14-bit DIGIC 5 processor, fast 5fps burst shooting, built-in HDR and hand-held night shooting modes, and a slightly more refined user interface. The innovative Hybrid AF system still doesn't solve the camera's sluggish Live View auto-focusing, though, something that Sony's SLT range in particular has already overcome.

During Movie shooting: Auto (100-6400), 100-6400 (Whole stop increments) ISO can be expanded to H: 12800 You also get access to thirty years' worth of lenses in Canon's EF and EF-S system, so you'll have no trouble finding the lens you need to take the images you want. From fisheye and wide-angle right through to macro and super telephoto, Canon has an option to suit your creative desires. And it doesn't stop there, as you can use lenses from the likes of Sigma and Tamron too! The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T3i has 2 different JPEG file quality settings available, including Fine and Normal, with Fine being the higher quality option. Here are two 100% crops which show the quality of the two options. Fine (6.15Mb) (100% Crop) The EOS 700D's built-in pop-up flash features a built-in Integrated Speedlite Transmitter for controlling up to two groups of off-camera Speedlites without the need for an external transmitter. Note that it doesn't have a more advanced PC Sync port for connecting the camera to external lights, limiting the 700Ds use in studio environments. There's also the expected hotshoe for use with one of Canon's external flashguns. Highlight Tone Priority is a custom function which can be enabled from the menu. Use of this custom function improves highlight detail by expanding the camera's dynamic range in the highlights. As you can see from these examples, Highlight Tone Priority reduced the extent of highlight blow-out considerably.|Max. Approx. 5fps. for approx. (speed maintained for approx. 22 images (JPEG) ( Large/Fine(Quality 8) resolution) The out-of-camera JPEGs are quite soft and at the default sharpening setting and benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop. You can also change the in-camera sharpening level to suit your tastes via the Picture Style options. AF points, all cross-type at f/5.6. Center point is high precision, double cross-type at f/2.8 or faster [2] Best of all, you can make things as easy or as complex as you want in terms of control. Set the camera to its Creative Auto mode and it will do all the hard work for you, choosing the best settings to use for every scene you throw at it. Once you get more confident, you can switch to one of the other exposure options, which will let you control shutter speed and aperture for when you need to get extra creative. ISO sensitivity can be set between ISO 100 and ISO 12800 in full-stop increments, and a boosted setting of ISO 25600 is also available. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting, with JPEG on the left and the RAW equivalent on the right.

All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 18 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 6Mb. Paired with the sensor is the latest DIGIC 5 processor which, although not the new DIGIC 5 version found in more advanced Canon DSLRs, still promises a respectable level of performance. Take complete creative control of your images with PIXMA and imagePROGRAF PRO professional photo printers. Unfortunately, and somewhat surprisingly considering the proliferation of the technology in recent releases, the EOS 700D doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi for transferring files and remote control using a smartphone or tablet.

Key Features

The sensor at the core of the Canon EOS 700D also offers Full HD 1080p video capture at either 30, 25 or 24fps – with 60 or 50fps available at the lower 720p resolution – while a pair of stereo microphones also feature on the camera’s top plate. The 700D, however, was introduced with a new kit lens — a new version of the existing EF-S 18–55mm that employs Canon's STM (stepping motor) technology. It also (for the first time in a Canon 18–55mm lens) has a front section that does not rotate. [1] Seeking the best printer for your business?

Eyecup Ef, E-series Dioptric Adjustment Lens with Rubber Frame Ef, Eyepiece Extender EP-EX15II, Angle Finder C Noise handling is also very good considering the pixel density. Shooting RAW is again a good idea if you plan on taking lots of high-ISO shots, as you can get better detail with less chroma noise than by shooting JPEG. As regards the colours, we have found them to be a little on the dull side, though this is nothing you can't change in-camera, by way of tweaking the available Picture Styles or creating your own.

This screen is also completely sensitive to touch, much like a smartphone or tablet. Among other things, this lets you focus and take the images in a single action, by simply tapping the screen wherever you like. The 700D includes a 9-point diamond AF arrangement that is the same as that found on the 650D. Although the nine points are far less than some rival cameras, the good news is that all are of the more sensitive cross-type variety and are thus sensitive to horizontal and vertical subjects and movements. This concludes our evaluation of the EOS 700D's ergonomics, handling, feature set and performance. Let's take a look at its Image Quality next.

As you can see, neither the Flash On setting nor the Red-Eye Reduction option caused any amount of red-eye.

You’ll be able to produce 1080p videos with the Canon EOS 700D. It offers automatic and manual control and enables Autofocus and continuous focusing when shooting videos. This camera will let you record videos like a pro with its near-silent Movie Servo AF which the aid of compatible lenses. And, on top of that, you can easily record stereo quality sounds with its built-in microphone, or simple connect an external microphone to isolate the noise and capture production quality audios.

As noted earlier, the auto focus was fast when using the optical viewfinder, and not always painstakingly slow when using Live View, either. Its continuous shooting speed is good for its class, though its six-frame raw buffer is smaller than we'd like. It takes a bit of time for the camera to fully start up if you wait for the sensor cleaning cycle to be completed, but as sensor cleaning can always be interrupted at a half-press of the shutter release, this is not a real issue. The only thing we found to be truly and somewhat inexplicably slow was entering Live View - it invariably took several seconds for the camera to raise its mirror and display the live image.

What features does the Canon EOS 700D have? More than ever before, the EOS 700d is designed to appeal to owners of compacts who have outgrown their camera and want to step-up to something that gives better results without being too complicated. The touch-screen operation has been seamlessly integrated, offering the ability to take a picture with one press of the screen. Even if you prefer using the viewfinder and hate touch-screens and the need to hold the camera at arm's length to use it, you'll still appreciate the ability to review your images by swiping from side to side and pinching to magnify them (at least we did).
