I used to have a Canon 450D and I must say that it was a great camera.

I have upgraded by buying a used Canon 650D which I sold 2 days later

for some reason the camera was overexposing in Auto, P and AV mode

Shooting through liveview was OK... but through viewfinder the result was very dissapointing. I was getting overexposed photos and I had to give -2 in exposure compensation in order to get a close must of a well exposed photo

I can not understand this at all, how would LV vs VF effect the exposure ?

Are you saying that the cam sensed your face at VF, turns off the rear monitor and this effects the exposure by -2ev ? WOW!

That would be extremely weird !!!! And of course a real problem NOT model issue.

Did you take by a dealer and just get their idea how this could be?

I searched the internet and show that for 650D this is kind of common issue.

The question is... did they fix the exposure sensor in 700D or is it the same.

What you describe seems as a 'one off' issue to me, not a systemic issue, and AFAIK, there is little diff between 650D & 700D, the biggest complaint !!

I know the 700D hybrid AF/LV/video servo AF was still awful!  I returned the cam.

The Canon M uses essentially the same complete elec of the 650D, minus a mirror and separate AF sensor - my M exposes quite well.

Does the camera exposes correctly in auto or semi-auto modes?

How would it be of much use if it did not?  Not that I ever use auto anything beyond auto-ISO, sometimes.

GL!
