Although the Canon EOS 650D was the first DSLR to have a touchscreen, Canon sensibly decided that the touch controls should be in addition to rather than instead of the button and dial controls.

The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is a very capable and versatile camera that produces high quality images. It has a comprehensive feature set and affords all the control expected by enthusiast photographers while providing automatic hand-holding options for less experienced users.

Canon's triple-digit DSLR range has long been one of the most popular series of affordable DSLRs. The Canon EOS 700D arrives as a replacement to the EOS 650D , hitting a ￡650 price tag at launch.

Impressive noise control; Good video capture; Responsive touch screen; Lightweight body

Limited AF points and buffer hamper action performance; Body can feel a touch plasticky; Not a big upgrade from 650D

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

Announced in mid-March, the EOS 700D replaces the EOS 650D and is positioned at the top of Canon's entry-level DSLR line-up, beside its lightweight sibling, the EOS 100D, which shares the same image sensor and processor.

This is my second DSLR and I am really happy with this product. Even though I'm not a pro-photographer, the images that I took with canon eos 700d makes me feel that I'm. The image quality and the ease of use makes it perfect for any occasion.

Image Stabilisation; Easy To Use; Comfortable Controls; Great Image Quality; Fast Shutter Speed

None

The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is essentially the same camera as its predecessor, and it's still a solid performer.

Fast to start and shoot; Sharp, articulated touch-screen LCD; Compact; Nearly silent video autofocus when used with STM lenses; 4fps shooting; Good image detail at high ISOs; Fast autofocus

Small pentamirror viewfinder; Very limited burst shooting in Raw mode; Video autofocus is choppy with non-STM lenses

This is my first DSLR. I know there is lots more things this camera can do, but getting started was easy. Great instruction CD. Have to use my free ONE-HOUR turorial with a Geek Squad member, but wanted to use it so I knew what questions to ask.

it's easy to use

nothing I have found; yet

The most trivial of updates from last year's 650D, but an improved kit lens reaffirms Canon's dominance of the consumer DSLR market
