Hi,
I'm going to be replacing my 400D pretty soon as compared to the modern cameras it seems lacking in a few areas (low light noise especially, but I would also find live view very handy!) so I'm naturally drawn to the Canon 700D at £479, but I could probably stretch to the 70D at £799 if needs be.
So the obvious question is, what's better about the 70D that makes it cost that much more? The specs seem pretty similar apart from the autofocus system but I don't really know enough about these things to make an informed decision...

Thanks for all the replies, the costs in my first post were the full cost at Wex (they're local), I'm sure I will look at where to get it from once I decide which one to get!

It looks like the 70D is the best choice for me then, I did look at the similarly priced 7D cameras but as has been mentioned above these are 5 year old models
