The flash settings on the EOS 700D / T3i are Auto, Manual Flash On/Off, and Red-Eye Reduction. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of 1m. 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 concludes our evaluation of the EOS 700D's ergonomics, handling, feature set and performance. Let's take a look at its Image Quality next. 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]

One-Shot, AI Focus, AI Servo, Live View (FlexiZone - Multi, FlexiZone - Single, Face Detection), Movie Servo 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. Take complete creative control of your images with PIXMA and imagePROGRAF PRO professional photo printers. Windows XP inc. SP3 / Vista inc. SP2 (excl. Starter Edition) / 7 inc. SP1(excl. Starter Edition) / 8 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.

The 700D was amongst the subtlest updates in the product line in its eight-year history. Compared to the old Canon 650D, there’s a new EF-mount kit lens, a couple of subtle cosmetic changes (not counting the product name badge) and the ability to preview creative filters when composing shots in live view mode.

In use, we found the Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i to be a responsive and versatile camera that almost never got in the way of picture taking. 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. Eyecup Ef, E-series Dioptric Adjustment Lens with Rubber Frame Ef, Eyepiece Extender EP-EX15II, Angle Finder C There are a number of drive modes available on the Canon EOS 700D / T5i. These include Single Shot, Continuous Shooting, Self-timer and Remote Controlled Shooting. In Continuous Shooting mode, the camera can take pictures at a speed of 5 frames per second for up to 22 Large Fine JPEGs or 6 raw files, a faster rate than the 600D, but for less JPEG images.|images (RAW) (Based on Canon's testing conditions, JPEG, ISO 100, Standard Picture Style. Varies depending on the subject, memory card brand and capacity, image recording quality, ISO speed, drive mode, Picture Style, Custom functions etc.) & ( Maximum fps and buffer capacity may be reduced depending on the cameras settings and light level) Although the 700D’s optical viewfinder only offers 95% coverage of a scene, the eye-catching 3-inch, 1040k-dot LCD screen on the camera’s rear is in the 3:2 aspect ratio, and thus stills fill the whole frame in capture. 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 Live View button is within easy reach of your right thumb. Using this button it is easy to enter Live View, but it takes a surprising amount of time for the camera to actually display the live image (think several seconds). A grid line display and very useful live histogram can be enabled to help with composition and exposure, and you can zoom in by up to 10x magnification of the image displayed on the LCD screen. Focusing in Live View via a half-press of the shutter release as normal. The available white balance settings are Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent and Custom; there is no way to enter a Kelvin value manually. You can fine-tune any of the presets using the White Balance Correction feature. The ISO speed can be changed by pressing the ISO button and turning the control wheel in front of it. You do not have to hold down the button while turning the wheel. The ISO speed can be set from ISO 100 to ISO 12800 in full-stop increments. If you turn ISO Expansion on in the Custom Functions menu, you can even dial in ISO 25600; a boosted setting. Auto ISO is also available. The chosen ISO speed is also displayed in the viewfinder.

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. Canon undoubtedly makes some fantastic SLRs, but for its three-digit consumer models, we’ve found in the past that this reputation is somewhat unwarranted. Perhaps this is because rivals have had to try that little bit harder to compete. The Nikon D5200 has a 39-point autofocus sensor, compared to the 700D’s nine points. The Pentax K-30 has a significantly larger viewfinder and dual command dials – features that are only available in pricier EOS models. The Canon 700D is one of the greatest mid-range cameras of all time.However, cameras like the 700D aren’t novels or albums and so, they must eventually stand aside for something better. In this case, that’ll be the Canon 750D, launched alongside the EOS 760D in February 2015. While the 760D caters for enthusiasts (with a top-mounted information LCD and extra mode dial) the more basic 750D has fewercontrols and is aimed at novices who still want good image quality.Let’s start off at the very core of the Canon EOS 700D, namely its sensor. While many of its competition have of late increased the resolution of their sensors, the 700D maintains the same 18MP resolution that has been present in previous generations of the triple-digit series. 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).
