I've been thinking about switching my DSLR EOS 500D to 650D and the 700D has become now, especially because so many photographers think prefer the money in a better lens to invest, but I do not regret my decision. The new EOS 700D is visibly better than my old EOS 500D, both had with my Canon 24-105mm / 4.0 L IS USM lenses in use and only now I can shoot 1600 nearly noise-free pictures with ISO what with my EOS 500D not even at ISO 400 was possible, announced the purchase justified, moreover, the autofocus is now the LiveView way better (faster), and I therefore now working sometimes even often with Live View, which eerily by the touch panel fun. In addition, I feel that the Internal Photo editing has improved reworking what exposure, contrast, color and noise reduction is in terms only in the rarest of cases necessary for me, as the camera this optimally adjusts after my feel what the other hand, the EOS 500D unfortunately was not the case and I had to edit on a PC much.
