The entry-level DSLR market is under continual pressure from large sensor mirrorless models, the best of which offer equivalent image quality in a smaller package. And for many novices with smartphone experience, the ability to easily capture video, as well as manipulate a device via a touchscreen...

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

The upgrade to the Canon 700D is so subtle that we spent the first few minutes pondering whether Canon had accidentally sent us its predecessor. Indeed, even Canon seems mildly embarrassed, quietly shuffling the Canon EOS 650D into early retirement, leaving the 600D on the market for those who want...

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

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.

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.
