Canon EOS 700D. Review on Canon EOS 700D

As I mentioned earlier, Canon likes to call the 700D its flagship entry-level DSLR, and I put it under some great tests, including late night handheld street photography and some light blurs, and, overall, the camera performed very well for an entry-level DSLR.

The Camera can shoot JPEG and RAW Images, and also save both of them, though remember that if you choose to save images as RAW ( or indeed both) , you are advised to have a faster card, else you'll have a bottleneck while taking shots.

On the Mode Dial, you choose between Av ( Aperture Priority) , Tv ( Shutter Priority) , M ( Full Manual) , Portrait ( P) , SCN ( Scene) , High Speed Sports, Macro, Landscape, Portrait, Full Auto ( A+ ), CA and a No Flash Mode with Full Auto where flash does not fire.

It was also good to note that the lens Canon is now including in the kit is image-stabilised and is the new avatar of its entry-level lens, giving you a good control on image stability both in video and still mode. There is no built-in GPS but the camera can take an optional GPS-E2 unit if you need GPS functionality.

The Canon EOS 700D does not charge via USB so you need to take the battery out and use the supplied charger. The battery lasts you anywhere between 400 and 440 shots, so if you are a light use photographer out for a holiday over a weekend, you can probably leave the charger behind, but in most cases you will need to carry it along with you.
