Take your pick, you already have the lenses, get another Rebel, get the 700D it is the best version of what you already have. Want a higher end body get the 70D. I think the 700D is the newest in the USA we call it, T5i.

Lets promote calm rational arguments.

I've indeed been looking at the 700D and 70D and trying to find out how they differ, though the information here doesn't seem to be complete. Otherwise both seem to be doing what I want. Sensor is almost the same, ISO-range of the 700D is unclear, focus points between both differs greatly, both use SD carts (I'm glad of that! it's difficult to find new CF cards!).. have to think about weight. I like the 300D weight, the 70 is 100 grams heavier, while the 700D is a bit lighter, but quite a bit smaller. Hmpf...

We're traveling a lot, thus the camera will be traveling with us and often comes along in a backpack on day-long hikes. That's probably an argument for the lighter body. I don't know how image quality and build quality differ. Any insight into that? The review scores are quite different, thus there must be a reason for that.
