Canon EOS 700D

Announced in mid-March, the EOS 700D replaces the EOS 650D and is positioned at the top of Canon’s entry-level DSLR line-up, beside its lightweight sibling, the EOS 100D, which shares the same image sensor and processor. It’s a relatively minor update to an already successful model so it’s no surprise to find the image sensor and processor chips haven’t changed, which means the same image quality should be delivered.

FIRST LOOK: Canon EOS 70D

Canon’s new EOS 70D will replace the EOS 60D when it is released in September. Positioned between the EOS 700D and EOS 7D it is designed for photo enthusiasts and features a new 20.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, designed and manufactured by Canon. A key feature of the new camera is an innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology (outlined below), which improves autofocusing performance when shooting in Live View mode, particularly for recording Full HD movies.
