The Canon EOS 700D (known as the Kiss X7i in Japan and the Rebel T5i in the Americas) is an 18.0-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon on 21 March 2013. It is the successor to the EOS 650D/Kiss X6i/Rebel T4i. As with most Canon cameras in previous years, it is being manufactured in Japan.
Features
The EOS 700D has a feature set almost identical to that of the older Canon EOS 650D. According to photographer and technology writer Gordon Laing,
It's fair to say that not a great deal has changed between the T5i / 700D and its predecessor. Indeed they're identical other than three changes: a new mode dial which can rotate through 360 degrees and keep turning, previews of Creative Filters in Live View, and a new external coating inherited from mid-range models like the 60D to provide a more durable finish.
The 700D, however, was introduced with a new kit lensâ€"a new version of the existing EF-S 18â€"55mm that employs Canon's STM (stepping motor) technology and also (for the first time in a Canon 18â€"55mm lens) has a front section that does not rotate.

- 18.0 effective megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
