The new 18-55mm lens is equipped with high-precision aspheric lens, which can achieve excellent picture quality with high resolution and high contrast. In addition, it is also equipped with an IS image stabilizer that has always been highly praised, which can achieve a maximum equivalent to an increase of about Level 4 The hand shake compensation effect of shutter speed has a positive effect on players shooting in dark environment.

Canon EOS 700D has some changes on the mode dial

　　 Canon 700D The design of the mode dial has been adjusted. The new mode dial can not only rotate 360 degrees, but also make the mode options more clear and the players can operate more quickly.

A brief introduction camera After the basic parameters of, let's take a closer look Canon EOS 700D The appearance of. This machine continues the design style of previous generations of fuselage, and the large skin ensures the hand feeling when holding. In terms of the actual feeling after handling 650D There is not much difference. Canon EOS 700D The highly praised flip screen is still retained, which is of positive significance for players to take high and low positions.

The most obvious change in the appearance of Canon EOS 700D is the mode dial. First of all, the mode dial can rotate 360 degrees, which provides convenience for players to quickly adjust the shooting mode. Second, the mode dial does not use printed icons, but uses metal processing high texture convex icons, which is more beautiful and durable.

The key design on the back of Canon EOS 700D is exactly the same as that of Canon EOS 650D, which is optimized for beginner users. The commonly used functions are placed within reach and marked with corresponding illustrations, so that users can quickly master the functions of each key.

That's it camera After the overall appearance, let's take a look at the details of the machine and its handling experience. Canon Always for product The quality has strict limit requirements, so 700D You can feel very secure when you first get started. The wide handle and large skin provide a good grip for players. At the same time, the lightweight fuselage also makes camera It is easier to carry.

Canon EOS 700D has dual channels on the top Microphone

Today SLR camera Video recording is nothing new. The top of Canon EOS 700D is designed with a stereo microphone, which will be more conducive to the independent sound receiving performance of the machine body.

On the right side of the fuselage is a storage card slot. Canon EOS 700D supports mainstream SD/ SDHC / SDXC card As a storage medium. The left side of the machine body provides audio/video output port (A/V OUT), HDMI port (HDMI OUT), shutter cable port, and MIC external microphone port for video capture function.

      Canon EOS 700D At first glance, the fuselage continues the design style of previous generations, but its matte texture has been enhanced to a certain extent, making it more comfortable. The shutter design of the 700D is not necessarily a Canon SLR shutter. The whole body size is 133.1 × 99.8 × 78.8mm and weighs about 525g (only the body), which is also one of the lightweight and miniaturized styles of Canon entry-level SLR.

Canon EOS 700D fuselage side

Canon EOS 700D is equipped with various data interfaces on the side of the body, including USB, A/V, HDMI, microphone MIC and shutter cable interfaces. Generally speaking, people who often need to record videos and make long exposures are frequently used in this area.

Back of Canon EOS 700D fuselage

On the left side is a 3 inch 1.04 million pixel flip screen, which can be flipped from multiple angles to facilitate actions such as overhead shooting and overhead shooting, while on the right side are scattered buttons. The flip screen is described in detail below. It is worth mentioning that the skin on the thumb side of the right hand has the function of caring and protecting the thumb. It can be seen that Canon is more sophisticated in the details.

The top key position layout can make the right thumb start to move more frequently and reduce the operation of the thumb on the back key position, which will also be described in detail below.

Canon's all electronic contact bayonet is very familiar and friendly to many Canon users.

The microphone air vent on the top of the warship is designed in the same position as many new SLRs.  

Top right close-up

The top of the fuselage is rich in content. The biggest change of 700D is that the mode dial adopts the design of "infinite rotation". The top key layout, including body switch, ISO, etc., is very suitable for manipulation through the right index finger. Perhaps the "running" of the index finger is a great progress in camera control.  

Close up of the wheel and shutter

The layout of the wheel and shutter is inherited from Canon 5D mark III and 6D The design concept of high-end models, such as, is convenient for fingers to switch during the control process.

Close up of handle

Xiao Bian thinks that the handle of the 700D is not prominent enough. Maybe a big man needs to hurt the other three fingers? However, the granular texture of Canon SLR skin feels comfortable and fits the hand.  

Close up of right button

Perhaps this is one of the few regrets of the 700D. The control keys are mainly ordinary cross keys. Would it be better to use the turntable cross keys of the high-end fuselage? Of course, the space on the back does make the turntable design difficult.  

The 700D is a successor to the 650D. It inherits the basic performance of the 650D, improves its appearance design, and adopts a new appearance coating, which greatly improves the overall texture. For ease of operation, the 700D mode turntable has been redesigned, and the overall body is still in the streamline style of EOS series. More importantly, Canon also released a 700D camera lens - 18-55/3.5-5.6 IS STM. Although it is a machine head, the official MTF of this lens shows that the imaging quality of this lens is not weak. Later, please take a look at the portraits and close-up macro samples of this lens taken on site.

The 700D is not big, so it is easy to shoot and carry

During the field trial, the author felt the difference between 700D and 600D in grip and operation. It is obvious that 700D has a better feel, and its surface texture is really better than the 600D I brought with me, and also better than 650D. Compared with the smaller 100D, the 700D has a larger volume, so the operation keys on the back of the camera are more abundant, giving the photographer a better operation experience. Although the size of the 700D is not as small as that of the 100D, as a camera with balanced functions and image quality, the size of the EOS 700D is just right.
