So why buy?
To recap
The 650D has a superb autofocus system that works in a variety of conditions and while the on-sensor hybrid AF system does improve live view autofocus speed it’s still not up to scratch compared to the likes of the Sony SLT system. The 650D’s touchscreen can feel a little alien to use at first, but definitely has its uses. However the sensor tweaks mean high ISO image quality won’t quite match up to the previous 600D model, although image quality as a whole is still of decent quality. A top camera that has some future-proof features and is responsive in use, but there are a couple of blips that mark it down.
