We have a look at the new Canon EOS 700D as well as the new 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit zoom lens.
| Canon EOS 700D (Rebel T5i) in Digital SLRs
The new Canon EOS 700D is this years update to the Canon EOS 650D, which is to be discontinued by Canon. The 700D will sit above the 600D, which will remain on sale and was last years best selling Digital SLR. The 700D introduces a new level of finish, with improved textures and feel, giving the camera a much more premium design and handling, which Canon say should further enhance the durability of the camera.

- 18 megapixel Hybrid AF APS-C CMOS sensor
- DIGIC 5 processor
- 9 point all cross-type AF
- 5fps continuous shooting
- 14bit RAW shooting

- 3.0inch capacitive touch-screen, 1040k dots

Introduced with the new Canon EOS 100D and 700D is a new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 STM lens with internal focusing, 25cm close focusing, 4-stop image stabilisation, and manual focus ring. The lens is said to have improved optics over the previous kit lens as shown below:
Priced at £619 RRP body only, the new 700D is introduced with a much lower RRP than the 650D, which was originally announced less than a year ago, with an RRP of £699. While the specifications of the 700D is virtually identical to the 650D it replaces, the new design and handling is a welcome update, and it's perhaps the combination of the new 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit zoom lens that will be the most apealling aspect of this camera, as this should provide improved image quality. It will be available with the Canon EOS 700D as a kit for an RRP of £749.
Additional upgrades to the 700D over the 650D, is improved live view with a 60fps refresh speed compared to 30fps on the 650D, as well as additional view options for grid display and aspect ratio.

21 Mar 2013 5:53PMthe 650D looks perfect.....particularly size-wise, with a sensible weight to carry around all day !
The only thing that bothers me is the rear 'touch-screen' ??(as with the 650D)....what happens
when the camera is lifted to the eye to compose & take a shot ??.....my nose or cheek contact
the rear screen when taking a shot, so does this contact change anything on the screen ????
I don't like the idea of the settings being changed 'mid-shot' !!......any thoughts ??

23 Mar 2013 3:29PMwhich could very well be a proximity sensor to switch off the screen, with the camera to the eye !!
If that is confirmed, this would be a perfect camera for my type of photography............yummy !!!!

24 Mar 2013 5:55PM700D has the same sensor, same kind of metering, same processor, same burst and God why is canon so adamant on the same number of 9 point all cross AF? Is this some Lucky number? This is simply unacceptable, please define another term instead of calling it an upgrade.
For a moment even if I convince myself this is not an upgrade, this Camera is still not required when the 650D can do it all.
