EOS 700D

Very nice refurbished cannon Eos 1000D!No scratches or dents,picture quality is good for 18 mega pixelsVideo quality is also good for 1080pRecommend a tripod for video recordingCamera is lighter than my Cannon Eos 450DI found it easy to easy to use …..

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 :)

It's a very impressive camera. Can't help feeling it's not as well made as the 450D it was to replace. However it sure impresses with it's RAW files. The jpg's algorithm is not as nice to the eye as the 450D's although that might be down to my subject matter and what I'm used to viewing. It's a lot of camera for the money. Especially if bought carefully. Recently got out my old Nikon f2 and it made me remember how a beautifully made camera feels in the hands. That's a tough act to follow!

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.

Fuming!We bought a camera from Amazon with the promise of £50 off via Canon. We found out today that it is a 'grey market' camera that does not qualify for the deal.Angry that Canon wait until the day after the deal expires to tell us this and fuming that Amazon have sold us a camera under false pretences.BTW the camera is great .. just left with a sour taste in the mouth
