Canon 700D Review

Canon 700D Review

The Canon EOS 700D was introduced on March 21, 2013, along with the simpler and lighter Canon EOS 100D... And it just so happened that in the new camera, in comparison with the predecessor camera - Canon 650D, there was nothing fundamentally new. This is probably the simplest update in Canon's EOS range of consumer cameras. If we ignore all the formalities, then personally I see only different camera names - Canon EOS 650D and Canon EOS 700D. But those commenting under the name of the almighty Anonymous do not sleep, and therefore below I will indicate those minor differences between Canon 650D and the Canon 700D, which I managed to find by turning over 400 pages of instructions for these two cameras.

The Canon EOS 700D, compared to Canon 650D, the main shooting mode dial has been changed. The Canon 700D has night-time portrait modes, 'me and my beloved cat', 'Handheld Night Scene' and 'Backlit Shooting' have been combined into 'SCN' (Special Scene Mode). Those who like to rotate the main wheel in search of the 'masterpiece' mark are now much easier, because the Canon 700D's control dial rotates 360 degrees. Although I liked the disc better Canon 650D due to the fact that when rotating it all the way to the stop, it was possible to switch very quickly and accurately to the 'M'(My beloved mode exposure).

The next innovation is designed to revolutionize the photography industry! Now you can sight in Live View through special instagram creative filters in real time. It is enough to turn on one of the artistic filters: 'Grainy B / W', 'Soft Focus',' Fish-eye Effect ',' Oil Paint Effect ',' Watercolor Effect ',' Toy Effect. camera ',' miniature effect 'and get +100 points to you know what Creativity and exclusivity of your photos. Marketers guarantee it! IN Canon 650D it was possible to try on the same filters only to the captured images. I turned on the filters two times, the first one accidentally, the second one to make sure they still work in Live View. Interestingly, even this I was not able to do right away, as it turned out that this option is not available when shooting in “RAW” and “RAW + JPEG” formats.

Let's hold a small flash mob - everyone who has pictures using artistic filters should definitely share a link to it in the comments :). I have already made popcorn, sat in front of the comment feed and am ready to contemplate them.

In Canon 700D the body texture has changed, it has become more pleasant to the touch. I wrote the previous phrase quite sincerely, but I'm sure blindfolded the difference between Canon 700D and Canon 650D even their creators will not be able to feel. But users are ready to entertain themselves with the thought that in the hand the Canon 700D feels no worse than, say, Canon 70D. And you can cross out one toe and get a free upgrade from Canon 700D to Canon 70D :)

There is information on the network that the Canon 700D has a revised tracking focus system when shooting in video. In fact, I did not feel any difference, however, I used the Canon 650D and 700D cameras with different lenses. Nevertheless, even if you delve into the instructions, you will not find any differences. Personally, I believe that the hybrid focusing system could have been refined a little and does not seriously affect the quality of tracking focus when shooting video. Yes, outside the window in 2014, but amateur SLR cameras did not learn how to focus properly when shooting video. Of course, I know about the handsome Canon 70D and about Sony SLT, but these are cameras of completely different categories. For me personally, the big mystery is the fact that along with the Canon 700D was introduced Canon 100D, the latter received an updated hybrid focusing in Live View mode - Hybrid CMOS AF II., and the Canon 700D continued to use the old system Hybrid CMOS AF Canon's first generation 650D. Why is the same focusing system not installed in the Canon 700D? I suppose, just to make users break their brains over what kind of camera they need.

Canon 700D sold in a whale kit with an updated lens Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6 IS STMthat was introduced with her. At the same time, the Canon 650D comes with a lens Canon Zoom Lens EF-S 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6 IS II... But no one forbids to buy a new 'kit' for Canon 650D. Most likely, the differences in standard lenses are being passed off as differences in cameras. But we understand what's what :).

You can also specify a lighter body. The Canon 700D weighs as much as 5 grams less than the 650D. So, by the way, 5 grams is less than 1 percent of the total mass of the camera with a battery and a memory card. I’m even embarrassed to write about these nano-differences :)

Here link to the archive with the originals - 1024 MB, 47 photos in .CR2 format (RAW), lenses were used when shooting Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm 1: 2.8 L IS USM и Helios-44 2/58. Yes, do not forget to unsubscribe in the comments that there are not enough portraits, as well as retelling of the first 370 pages of the instruction :)

Prices for modern Canon cameras in popular stores can look at this link.

In comments Can I ask you a question on the topic and you will answer, and you can also express your opinion or describe your experience. Many little things for a photo can be found on AliExpress.


Results

Do you know what is the most offensive and ironic in the whole story? Anyway, at this point, the Canon 700D is Canon’s best amateur camera (you don’t need to interfere with advanced amateur cameras like Canon 60D, 70D); and I recommend Canon 700D in my article 'which Canon camera to choose'as Canon's Best Amateur CPC for 2014.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Great, I just have to wait another 994 :)

      • Dmitriy

        Hello, Arkady.
        If you click on the link “all Nikon D body cameras” (at the very end of the review), we get to the list of Canon cameras.

        • Arkady Shapoval

          Fixed

    • anonym

      I liked the first photo! But we will not be "released" soon :-( Life is becoming more and more fun ...

  • Denis

    “Most likely, the differences in standard lenses are being passed off as differences in cameras” - but it works. One friend of mine chose a DSLR (her first camera), chose some kind of Canon because the kit was 18-135, in my opinion. Moreover, it was useless to convince her that she needed a simpler apparatus, and that any optics could be attached. Give her a “professional camera” right away to have the best one.

    • anonym

      I myself chose a camera on the lens.
      Now it’s funny, but then I just couldn’t imagine what could be different.
      The template was torn when, when I came to the store to pick up a purchase of 60d with an 18-200 lens, they pulled the lens out of the whale box with 18-135, they gave me the carcass, and the 18-200 lens was given separately.

  • Bogdan S.

    On dxomark 700d the noise is worse than 650d, the review is clear

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I already wrote about the quality of the matrices of these models in the 100d review

  • SiN

    Briefly and on the topic! a good review, I used 600d, seemingly the differences are minimal, only the power button didn’t please, I turned it on 600d all the way and how do you fly into the video mode?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, you go into the video mode all the way :(

  • Jackie

    The review is full of light and unobtrusive trolling :). But seriously, to be honest, I do not understand the meaning of the release of such "updated" cameras, except, perhaps, sales goals - to sell the same thing, only under a new sauce.

  • Anon

    Someone too often reads Lurk.

    • Jackie

      Gg, we don’t read Lurka, we write it :) (I apologize for the offtopic)

  • Michael

    Good evening! Are there modern SLR cameras without a video function?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Of course there are, for example, Nikon F6, Nikon FM10.

    • Lynx

      Nikon Df

      • Arkady Shapoval

        Well, such a subtle hint at the filmmakers ruined :(

  • anonym

    I am the owner of Nikon 3100 field of how I held the hands of Canon 1100, which is more expensive, I came home and almost did not kiss my Nikon !!!!))))
    I don’t see any reason to buy a camera for all kinds of show-offs such as creative filters, etc.
    it feels like they are made for fools ... the newer, the cooler, and the number in the name is bigger ...

    • Oleg

      "And the number in the name is also more ..." - the figure on the price tag is proportionally larger, although in fact only bows are being sold

  • Kirill

    Marketing visited everyone, even Nikon owners)
    I tend to the quality of JVI and staff! The rest is a disaster for modern people.
    I’ve been spinning the focus on Zenite with joy, auto focus has not given me a single sharp frame! Actually there are those who with foam at the mouth will shout about expensive optics. Nonsense! Optics draws a picture, and best of all in manual mode! JVI became small, everything is imprisoned for auto focus.

    And on the topic! Ololo! This is a sale! Canon 70D with the same sensor and the same matrix, an order of magnitude more expensive. The rest are fashionable 19 focus points, etc. (I don’t want to list everything!) As a rule, we need a drunk photographer)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Just in the 70D, finally, the new matrix from Canon :)

  • Yarkiya

    It seems to me gentlemen that the official representatives of Kenon, reading this review ...
    further, everyone understand to the best of their imagination. :) It just seems unlikely that they will be a friendly crowd, pushing each other away in vain and they will start to thrust in Arkady the rest of their products. :))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thank God, 99% of the review techniques are provided by users :)

  • Sergei

    Anti-advertising is also advertising!)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Well, in this case I am not engaged in advertising or anti-advertising. And what it looks like - everyone decides for himself.

  • Igor S.

    The lever on the camera surprised, it looks strange.

  • anonym

    You also need to write that the photo was taken on a good macro glass, and not a “whale”. So that people do not think - I will buy such a camera and I will shoot Shadevras!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      And this is indicated in the review :) in addition, in the review there are a couple of photos on the cheap Helios-44 and this is also indicated.

  • Edgar b.

    As an adherent of this system, I can say that the same mess is going on in the ff segment. 5D III & 6D, according to the logic 6 should be castrated 5d, but no. A better sensor and a more sensitive af module were put in 6 (the central point, works much better than in 5d). And for many, this is enough to take 6d.

  • Canon official representative in Ukraine

    Arkady, have you completely lost your fear? After this review, we won’t even give you IXUS cameras. We are silent about L class optics, SLR cameras, flashes, etc.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      That's your business)

      • Toad

        Yes, I think it’s just someone sneered at))) And many took it for a clean cut and began to show)))

    • Jury

      Canon has lost fear, I have been using your products since 10D, this year I have twice been disappointed. First, the 6D which was screwed on after going through 4000 frames, the first of my 6 canon. The second disappointment of the 70D, due to the improved focusing system, turned out to be wildly noisy. After these wanderings, I realized that I had sold the second nickel in vain.

    • THE

      Fear of whom ?! Do not forget that Arkady has a whole army of readers who will always support your favorite Blog!

    • Yarkiya

      I don’t know who and what fear has lost, but the official Canon representative in Ukraine is ashamed to even open his mouth. And that's why:
      In Radozhiv, Arkady Shapoval, in addition to articles on photos and articles on other photo equipment, such as flashes, remotes, synchronizers, adapters, etc. etc. written
      52 articles about cameras and 20 of them from Canon
      371 !!! Canon Lens and 21 Articles
      And now attention! The official representative of Canon in Ukraine, for reviews on the most popular photo site, there are already 2 (TWO) cameras and 2 (TWO) lenses. Unprecedented promotion. But maybe you ask both cameras were the flagship segment? Well, maybe if the 700D and 70D have Kenon flagships.
      But maybe then the glasses were incredibly cool, like long-focus fixes for $ 10000? But where is it already, the stupid whale 18-55, and the 100mm Makrik, albeit not bad.
      So the Official guys from Official Kenon, as you can see, your contribution to the project is so meager that playing an offended benefactor in this situation is not just ugly, but frankly shameful.

      • Arkady Shapoval

        Thanks for the statistics :))

      • kozigvl

        Everything is definitely said! I support!

      • varezhkin

        I also support. thank you for such independent blogs and opinions in nature.

    • Lynx

      Vile how!

      • Yarkiya

        In what sense?

  • Maksim

    Hmm, I’m not reading Arkady’s article written in such a tsіkavіy manner ... The enmity has crept over, but there’s a fright over the kimos :-) What a virobnik because of the wicked nameplate that is presented to the old in the new arkadіtniki in the new region. The article was honored, sarcasm is used everywhere in small portions.

    • Max

      So yes =)

  • Itcooky

    A simple question, one price per carcass - which is better to take 60D or 700D?

    PS Purely external 4-year-old man 60D inspires moreeeee!

    • Lynx

      looking for what.

      • Itcooky

        To make an impression on the organizers of press conferences, well, what to shoot?

        • Lynx

          If you need a small DSLR to shoot from the hip and not bother - then a hundred, had the best of the small Canon ones.
          If you talk about the size and bells and whistles / professionalism, then sixty, or even the first five dollars, as already written, it now costs a penny.
          And you can shoot anything at 350d, for free

        • Yuriy75

          For show-offs, take 20D with a booster and Tamron 18-200 (paint over the inscriptions with a marker only), plus a flash of at least 430EX. It should work. With all this, in principle, you can shoot. And spend as much money as 700D now

    • Alexander

      I can’t say which one is 60, and my 50 has a matrix that gives out a wild amount of noise in the shadows and the younger predecessor 1100 did not sin with this.

      • Itcooky

        Alarmingly, he’s only two years older than 60d

    • Nikolai (sn797)

      Buy a used, old one, 1Ds Mark II - if you need full or 1D - if not needed. With low mileage, in good condition they can still be found on ebay, unless, of course, the dimensions are intimidating and the video is not needed.

  • Jury

    Now Arkady will write in the style of SLR cameras without the video function :) (I’m malicious, Arkady:) - Your comment let me know what such cameras still do) But seriously, there is a question: Canons show on dxomark completely unimpressive values ​​for color depth and DD. How objective are these tests? What is the situation in real life?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Very slippery question. If you take cameras of the same level and year of production, then subjectively with Nikon these things are better. I repeat, subjectively and only when comparing face-to-face with similar models.

      • Jury

        can determine the DD of cameras during the test? - there will be a super addition to the review :)

  • Alexander

    Creative prostrated CANON, respect and honor)))))

  • Gene jb

    Arkady, I would like to see an article about HDRI. Your vision.

  • anonym

    The article, rather due to the fact that Arkady, was offended by the comments that were in the previous article! And the fact that there is resentment is very clearly visible !! And in fact, many comments need to be deleted !! (maybe this one).

    And in general it is extremely offensive that such an awesome site is cluttered with comments that are really off topic !! About portraits about craftsmanship, and so on !!

    Arkady !! The site is super !! Sat down on him for a long time !! Every day at work I check if there is a new article !! It’s a pity that you didn’t do video reviews of technology before, and what to say, I wanted to continue to see video reviews (video banter for this article;)) !!

    And maybe it’s not a topic, but a really interesting question, what kind of cameras do you have Arkady, and which lenses do you like most, otherwise you read a lot of early reviews in the Nikon D90 and D200 (it might seem) ..

    • Arkady Shapoval

      No, I don’t have time to be offended :) but comments are a personal matter of everyone)) I have been planning such a review for 700d for a long time)) the rest is just a coincidence :)

      • anonym

        =) But it remains interesting what kind of photographic equipment do you use?

        • Arkady Shapoval

          nikon d700, 80-200 / 2.8, 28-105 / 3.5-4.5 a pair of sb-900 and small things to them.

          • anonym

            =)

  • Anatoly

    Cool review) It is not clear what Canon representatives just expected when giving this model for review, everywhere they write that there are not many changes compared to the 650D. Arkady simply wrote it again after studying the characteristics of one and the other model, though embellishing it a little in his own way. A lot of people read his reviews and he couldn't write otherwise. Well, anyway, after comparing all the pros and cons between the 650D and the 700D, a lot of people choose the 700D. After reading the review, I involuntarily recall the phrase from the movie “It seems to me, gentlemen, it was a comedy.”)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Like it or not, the 700d is elementarily newer.

  • Alexander

    Tried 60d and 700d. The 60d's usability is many times higher. If you really need AUTOFOCUS video - then 700d. In all other cases, Grandpa 60d rules. And +500 adds to the solidity. And don't care about the touchscreen. If 60d is expensive, 600d is pretty good. 70d is noisy and very expensive, for me it makes sense to look at 6d. The official representative of canon is a harosh loaf to crumble, Arkady is right - another turd, but in the absence of an adequate alternative it will do ... Better tell your bosses to change the matrix in 5 years, and not rivet clones with the same eggs in profile.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Let's dot the “i”, the author of the comments with the nickname “Official Canon” just decided to play a joke with the help of this nickname :)

  • Alexander

    This is clear) I'm just trolling into the topic) It seems to me alone: ​​there are some changes since 550d and 60d, but they are not very noticeable. Well, video, well, touch screen, well, a bit of speed ...

  • Jury

    That's right, you give a full frame with a matrix like in s5pro, working with ISO 6400 and 20MP, under Nikon and Canon glasses, you can without touch screens, filters, video and video :)

    • Oleg

      Oh yeah!!! And also to it an 18-500 zoom with a constant f1.4 aperture, with a stabilizer, so as not to hobble, there was no vignetting and distortion, weighing 300 grams, and a price tag of 150-160 bucks;)
