The first cameras were all with the touch screen compact, since the choice of pressing with your finger on the screen was linked to the choice of saving space by removing some traditional controls such as dials and buttons.

Fully adjustable screen; type tactile interface and well designed; King's sense of proximity that turns off the screen when not in use; Image quality

Body a little small and unbalanced; Shutter sounds a bit metal

As an older person I find the controls difficult for older stiffer fingers ans the controls at the back too close to thumb area when shooting . Other than that I am very happy having previously used a a 300d and now upgraded a bit, love Canon products .

Good battery life; Quiet; Nice features/settings; Quick Start-up time; Excellent image quality; Bright LCD; Solid Operation; Lightweight/Portable

Difficult to use; Complicated controls/menu

Awesome camera, just got it in today, I've been playing around with it, and everything seems perfectly fine. Only thing I have to say, is I wish it came with the manuals, one side of my lens cap wasn't there, and one side of the actually camera strap has a missing clinch.

the audio recording is pretty bad still. the mics are better, but the preamps in the camera are not designed for GREAT quality.. only GOOD quality. pick up an external audio recorder to help with the audio.

touchscreen is SO much faster than the t3i

the stm lens is a bit slow, and not happy in low light; but the 25600 iso, f3.5 and a 1 second shutter will get you a 4pm shot at 2am.

I was an Canon user & just wanted to update. I was pleasantly surprized. They maintained the feel while improving the over all camera. I really liked the swiveling rear screen. My vendor made the purchase a pleasant experience.

This camera can do so much, I have not even scratched the surface. This is my first DSLR as I have four other SLR's, I was able to just take it out the box and start taking pictures and video.

I purchased this item and could not be any happier! I love Canon cameras and this one really helps me excel in my portrait taking. Also, for the price, it couldn't be beat!!!

I was very pleased with the service I received and the speed with which it was delivered. Value was amazing! Some of the accessories were of lesser quality - but still amazing value.

The Canon EOS 650D has taken beginner-enthusiast D-SLRs to the next level. Although it 'only' has an 18-megapixel sensor, image quality is great, and high ISO performance is strong. Thanks to the Digic 5 processor, it will also blast off 5fps to help you keep up with fast-moving subjects.

Touch-screen LCD; 5fps; Image quality and high ISO

Quite pricey; Touch-screen needs to be clean; Mixed materials on body

A true powerhouse with a host of innovative tech inside it

18MP hybrid CMOS sensor; Continuous auto-focus in video mode; Beautifully crisp video footage; Controls to suit all

Gimmicky feel to the touch screen
