The powerful Canon EOS Rebel T5i doesn't offer a large number of improvements over last year's Rebel T4i, but if you have an older Canon Rebel DSLR camera, the T5i is going to give you a great set of features for the price.

If you're looking for your first digital SLR and are prepared to stump up what feels initially like a bit of a premium price, then the 18 megapixel, APS-C sensor-toting Canon EOS 700D is a great choice that should see you through years of service.

Robust build; Rotating LCD screen; Lightweight chassis

Shooting video is clunky; It's expensive

The Canon EOS 700D sits in a category of DLSR cameras that Canon says is for beginners. Its apparent stable mates include the tiny EOS M, the 1100D and the 100D, each of which the 700D is superior to in various ways.

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

Recommending the T5i for still photography is a no-brainer. It's easy to use, takes quality images, and has enough technical headroom so you can spread your creative wings.

Fine 18MP still images; Helpful vari-angle touchscreen; 5 fps burst mode

Build quality not the greatest; Video focusing improved but issues remain; No wireless connectivity

Camera is great. All accessories came as described. Very happy with my experience and the product itself.

This canon DSLR camera is exactly what I was looking for. It comes with features that matches my needs. 18MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 processor makes it perfect for photography.

I recently purchased the T5i as a upgrade from my Rebel Xsi and I am really pleased with it's performance and features.

Nice balance, looks good, pre-programed features suit me, sharp picture. I bought this to replace my Canon G9 and Video camera. Wrong move the pictures are sharper then the G9. I should have realised that it used a mirror not a digital eye piece, which means that when you take video you use the...

Over twenty years ago I owned and used a reasonable film SLR camera. Didn't take many photos for a few years afterwards and then started using Digital compact cameras with which I have taken many photos over the past ten or so years.

Easy to use; Build quality; Screen size
