I had ordered this camera because I wanted to deal seriously with photography.
Right at the first tests, however I noticed that I no "knack sharp" images would succeed. Of course, one has to first deal with the matter for a while before hinbekommt good pictures. However, I Bieb skeptical ...
A friend has been dealing more with photography and has the 600D. We have the pictures of the 700D and the 600D compared directly with each other, we the same lenses (Canon 50mm / 1.8 and 100mm / 2.8 Macro) used and the same motif in the same lighting with remote release (ie no vibration) ablichteten in the comparisons. The result was that the 700D inferior images produced as the 600D, but what surprised us somewhat. We went first out of a Monday model and I exchanged the part to. But even that delivered subsequently copy supplied to our terms equally disappointing photos. From another, vendor-related reason, I have also been exchanged. The third was as good / bad, showed such a renewed comparison with the 600D and also a short realistic test. That is equal to 3 copies always a worse picture than the supply 600D indicates probably already points to a general "problem" in the model.
It may be that the focus for most is sufficient, but after I've even seen pictures that "out of the cam" are much sharper, I try my luck rather with the 600D. The 700D may well have other new and useful features, but sharp images are already the minimum of what I expect from a camera. This model goes anyway back permanently.
PS: I am interested in whether other people have so made a direct comparison and what has come of it. Like leave a comment.
