SLR are of course a very unique / different world as the small compact cameras.
Sure, they make pretty good pictures, however, account for these alone a lot of design possibilities because you can not set a lot of things.)
Optics / haptics:
Quite large and difficult especially if you are used to compact cameras, even when compared with the smaller EOS models 100D / 1200D ect
700D is the slightly larger and heavier, but what I feel to be positive. It has a super secure grip and is great to all controls,
especially if, like me, has rather large hands. The camera looks in spite of plastic very valuable and you almost afraid something broken
to make when taken in the hand. (Or friends they take into their own hands)
Display:
The display is rotating and swiveling which is a big advantage in some recordings or prospects.
The hinges make me a stable and very durable impression.
There is a TFT display with a little more than 1 million pixels. which is absolutely razor sharp, really class!
It also has touch, which works great, about as silky smooth as you would expect from current smartphones.
Operation:
Class! Even for me as a beginner in the SLR world be explained almost all buttons and features of its own accord.
What you do not know you can easily see on the Internet. The buttons function as they should.
All buttons I feel disposed as thoughtful. 2 knobs are also available which round out the perfectly good operability.
(So you can really control everything only with the keys if you do not like touch screen)
Flash:
Super bright, almost too bright :) for this class of cameras Guide number 13 !! If they do want more,
is of course a hot shoe available where you can simply attach the large external flash.
Battery:
I find the battery time to be satisfactory. Approximately 600 pictures can be taken without problems at full charge.
Here at Amazon there a very good 2.Battery for 14.80. Ordered these with equal then you prepared her.
PSC = 1
Image Quality:
Absolutely convincing! I have here a good 20 pictures uploaded where you can watch all times a few shots.
almost professional quality for a three-digit price is already fantastic. 18 million pixels rich even for large A2 printouts.
By really quick release time arise hardly blurred images.
Kit lens 18-55mm CANON:
The included kit lens from Canon is very good. It has a stabilizer which forgives sometimes shaky hands.
In addition, the autofocus is almost noiseless and quickly focuses.
Even fairly good macro shots succeed with this without a tripod! (See customer photos)
Conclusion:
A very good camera for a reasonable price with many strengths and weaknesses barely.
Beginners (like me) achieved a very good introduction to the "real" world photography which I yet
is way more fun. Can So really all this camera fully recommend.
