I love this Camera, Perfect for beginner Astrophotography

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

I ordered the Canon EOS 700D Digital SLR Camera after getting into Astrophotography, although it is a cropped frame camera, it had all the features I needed to take some amazing photos of the night sky.

The photo in this review was taken with only this camera fitted with an ultra-wide angle lens and a tripod I also bought on Amazon.

The camera has the Fast EOS lens fitment ring and a live view, touch screen which also folds out. It also accepts 3rd party rechargeable batteries which I have a few of.

The settings are easy to follow even if you know nothing about cameras, it has an automatic photo mode which basically allows for a point and shoot option for complete beginners. The Auto-focus is fast and sharp.

I currently have a 128gb SD card in this camera which is more than enough space for shooting in raw mode for an extended period.

I terms of hardiness, I have used this camera for several hours on end throughout the night in the middle of winter, I have also used in in very humid locations and by the coast in Mauritius without issue.

I have found that it doesn't overly suffer from too many hot pixels either so calibration photos come out well.

There are also plenty of lens adapters that this camera accepts to allow older and non-EOS lenses to be attached which is nice.

Other than not being a full frame sensor, there is nothing I would change about this camera.

Great camera

Very Impressed so far with this camera. I upgraded from the old 400d that I have had for quite a few years and the quality leap in the photographs produced is very good indeed. The touch screen interface is brilliantly thought out and intuitive, within minutes I was changing apertures and shutter speeds with a swipe of a finger. The kit lens is far better quality than the one I received when I originally purchased the 400D and is in fact a very useable product. All my accessories from my old EOS camera fit and work fine with the new body (lenses, flashes etc) but the battery is different so I can't keep my old battery as a spare and the memory card system has changed from the old compact flash system to the more popular SD standard. The camera does not come with an SD card so make sure you order one otherwise you'l have a camera with no way of storing any photographs. I purchased a reasonably priced average 32gb card off amazon for about a tenner and it is fast enough and big enough for my needs.

This body has an "APS" sized sensor as apposed to the "Full Frame" sensor in high priced more "Professional" EOS bodies like the 5D but these bodies are more than triple the price at least. The APS sized sensor actually has some benefits over the "Full Frame" ones if you are considering wildlife photography because all the lenses crop by a factor of x1.4 which means you get closer to the action for less money. Ideal if you are on a tight budget :).

The camera has various shooting modes which range from a fully automatic "pick up and click" mode which requires no thought whatsoever, through a fast "sports" mode with focus tracking and 5 frames per second shooting bursts, "Portrait" mode for warm skin tones. "Landscape" mode for lush vistas... all the way to fully "manual" mode where everything from shutter speed, aperture and ISO light sensitivity are fully controllable... plus various other other modes in between.

I have not really tried the movie recording side of the camera because i've always been of the opinion that if you want to film decent movies then buy a movie camera not a stills camera. I have taken a few clips and the results are crisp and sharp with fairly decent sound from the onboard stereo microphone.

Overall the 700D is a very creative, versatile piece of kit at the top end of Cannon's amateur EOS DSLR range. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone wanting to take photography fairly seriously but can't warrant spending thousands on a professional body.

I think it will take quite a while to outgrow the capabilities of this body and expect it will last me about 4 years before technology makes it feel a little dated.

Well worth a purchase :)

Happy with price and quality

Canon are the only brand I use for SLRs. This one had good reviews and hit my price point and image quality needs.

Pleased with the standard 18-55m kit lens that comes with it but I think for any serious photographers you will probably want a prime lens but not essential. This also worked well with my Sigma 70-200mm lens with Canon fit.

Fantastic camera

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2016

This is one wonderful camera. My last SLR was a (film) Minolta from the 90s, but with the advent of digital I stopped using it and bought a digital 'point-and shoot' Olympus. After 12 years faithful service the Olympus died and, still missing the power and creativity of an SLR, I decided to look for a new one. So, whilst far from being from a pro photographer, I'm not a complete noob either. I was looking for something with full manual control combined with a fair bit of hand-holding.
After reading countless reviews and watching hundreds of YT videos, I chose this...and what a good choice it is proving to be! There are really only one or two competitors in this price range and I must admit that I did a fair bit of procrastinating. But, my final decision was crystal-clear. This is perhaps no longer one of the latest and greatest 'upper-entry level' DSLRs when comparing numbers alone. However, when viewed as a complete, user-friendly package, it is, in my view, still unbeatable. A few pros and cons for you...

PROS
++Probably the most user-friendly albeit complex tech I've ever owned
++Incredibly easy to use; switch it on, select full-auto, take a picture and a beautiful image will be displayed on the monitor
++Full built-in support to help and guide you with every selection and choice (switch-off the help if you wish)
++The design of the camera simply encourages you to move from full automation to full manual control in small (or large if you wish) stages
++So good to use, you'll find yourself picking it up all the time and taking more and more shots of everything from cats to carnations
++The screen, wow, so good, so intuitive, touch-sensitive, clever, you can focus and take shots with you finger if you like! 'Fully-articulated' ie flips-out and swivels, very, very useful, I can't now imagine being without it
++High-quality, silent, fast-focusing 'kit' lens
++I didn't buy this camera for its video capabilities but I can tell you that crisp 1080p video is available at the flick of a switch with decent sound from the built-in stereo microphones. You can plug an external mic in too
++Great ergonomics and build
++Good-quality bundled Canon software including a disc of photography lessons and a program to organise and edit your RAW files
++Lenses; tons of aftermarket lenses are available at reasonable prices

CONS
--I can't really think of anything at the moment. There's no wi-fi or GPS so you may want to bear that in mind. You'll need to budget for a bag, memory-card and whatever else takes your fancy

I'm thrilled with this camera and I thoroughly recommend it

700D: A Videographer's Review

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

Before you read on, you should know that I use this for videography so this whole review will be based from a videographer stand point.

I bought this as my first 'proper' camera to use for shooting all sorts of videos, ranging from events and festivals to interviews and lectures. Also known as the T5i, this camera is an amazing starter camera for anyone looking to get into videography, the menu functions are easy to follow and the actual picture quality is great.

Be aware though that because of the simplicity of the camera, some functions aren't as easy to tweak to specifics such as the white balance.

The camera isn't great for low-light shooting either so if you're planning to do night-club or night time shoots then this isn't the camera for you, though I have used it in those situations, I had to crank the ISO up to the point where the footage looked noisy and was almost unusable.

Having said that, for almost every other situation, it's been absolutely brilliant! The standard kit lens that comes with it doesn't give you very shallow depth of field, so don't expect that! If you want something like that then I would recommend the Canon 50mm f1.8, which'll also let in more light and be better for those darker situations. In the right light, the lens if nice and versatile, give you an 18mm wide or a 55mm close up.

I've had the camera for just over a year now and can honestly say that I don't regret buying it at all, in my opinion it's the most adaptable beginner camera too. Unless you're willing to up your budget another couple of hundred, I would say that this is the camera for you!

If you have any other questions about the camera, just give me a shout, I'd be happy to help!

Awesome DSLR

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2014

I bought this camera as an upgrade to a Nikon D3100 SLR. Having gotten used to the set up of Nikon, I did find Canon to be completely different. But that isn't a bad thing. Once I got my head around the settings, and what buttons to press, I was snapping away, and producing some lovely quality photos.

As an amateur photographer (3 years using DSLR's), I'm still very much in the early days of knowing what's what. There are many functions on this camera that I'm still to discover, but the book it comes with is small enough to pop in to your bag, and carry with you.

A few things that really impress me about this camera are, the swivel screen, the easy set up menu for each shot (changing shutter speed, aperture, exposure etc is a breeze), the touch screen is magical, the whole feel just feels so solid in your hand, without being super heavy. It's simply gorgeous. I am so glad I chose this as an upgrade.

Also, because of the swivel screen, I never have to worry about scratching it. Canon recommend that you don't put a protector on the screen, as it could make the screen less responsive to your touch, so I always turn the screen around when it's in my bag.

Leap of faith

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2015

I've Ummmed and arrrrr'd about a DSLR for ages. I recently bought a LG G4 phone and loved the camera and the manual settings and bought some lenses for it (wide angle, fish eye and macro). After a few days out with my girlfriend taking photos together we loved it and i took the initiative to buy "us" a DSLR. I'm a bit of an impulse buyer and after minimal reading and seeing that this was the #1 Best seller i thought i'd take a leap.
Soon as i bought it i spent the delivery time watching video after video about this camera. The main point i got from all the reviews was that this was a fantastic camera for anyone Beginners or Novices looking at getting into photography. They where right on the money. It's a brilliant camera for absolute novices like my self the auto setting will give you great picture, and its so user friendly that you dont feel like you you've slipped into the 4th dimension when flicking into manual. There's the option to have sort of tool tips so that anything you press (ISO, White balance etc) it'll let you know in easy to understand terms what it is that setting does. There's also the option to disable that aswell as you progress.
Would definitely recommend to anyone, looking at getting started with photography or even just someone who wants break the surly bonds of phone camera's
