from cameralabs review:

In terms of speed, Live View AF on the EOS SL1 / 100D felt a little quicker than previous Canon DSLRs, not to mention Canon's own EOS M, but remained noticeably slower than its viewfinder AF system along with the fastest mirror-less models, such as those from Olympus, Panasonic and Sony. For all the hype over the hybrid AF system, I also found the SL1 / 100D would search back and forth as much in Live View as a 100% contrast-based system such as those on the Olympus and Panasonic mirror-less cameras. It's also worth noting the SL1 / 100D's AF system in Live View requires brighter conditions than the main viewfinder based system, so instead of working down to -0.5 EV, it operates at a minimum of 1 EV. Again compare that to the -3 EV of the Lumix G6 which is a 100% Live View system.

Thank you. So I guess we can confirm that the 700D and  the 100D use indeed diferent AF systems.

Thanks for your answer.

BTW I have a canon EOS-M  .I love it. Its image is much much better than sony A500, Sony A550 . ( in terms of color accuracy , sharpness and white balance under artificial light ).
