<p>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. It also replaces the 650D and, in many cases, can be found for similar prices to the older, now discontinued model.</p><p>Things then get a little muddier, as it sits alongside the EOS 600D, a camera that shares much the same design and specification, but subtle differences give the 700D the edge: touchscreen, dedicated video record selection, as well as a hybrid AF system that's much faster than two - admittedly quick-succession - generations ago.</p><p>Much of the experience is the same as the 650D. But as that was already a good, dependable camera that we liked, it sets the 700D in good stead. Is it the DSLR to go for?Design</p><p>The Canon 700D comes with a freshly coated body, designed to be more durable than previous models at this level. It's been a criticism of more affordable DSLR cameras that things like the plastic grips can peel away, or the matte body finish rubs off to be shiny, but there's no way we could put that much wear on this review model in the time we've had with it.</p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/123262-canon-eos-700d-review">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/10/alleged-canon-eos-7d-mk-ii-spec-sheet-leaked/?utm_source=mainrss">Alleged Canon EOS 7D MK II Spec Sheet Leaked</a> (Ubergizmo)</p><p><a href="http://www.designntrend.com/articles/8734/20131027/canon-eos-70d-review-price-specs-features-spotlight-on-1040k-dot-fully-articulated-lcd-display.htm">Canon EOS 70D Review, Price, Specs, Features: Spotlight On 1040k-Dot Fully ...</a> (Design & Trend)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dZTQTKsk54JpfPMk2AR-vh_rnbUEM&ned=us">4 additional articles.</a></p>
