Re: replacement for 300D

I went from 300D with undutchables firmware to 650D with its original software. 700D is almost equal to 650D (700D has some minor software extras). You'll get a major upgrade in all areas. It's just a far more Pro camera. Just to mention a few:

Better high ISO, faster startup, faster and much better AF (more points, all cross), better metering..

All flash compensation settings you need. External flash control.

You'll be able to use RAW in all modes. Also the other mode restrictions are gone (metering, focus mode etc.)

Swivel screen with touch focus opens another world of shooting options (very precise focus, low and high angles)

Buy it together with the EF-S 18-135 IS STM and you'll have a perfect travel combo.

The 650D/700D grip is a bit smaller though. I'm used to that now. Otherwise the 70D will give you a larger grip, a top LCD like the 300D has, and a bigger and brighter viewfinder with an even more advanced AF in both the viewfinder and on the touchscreen.
