Before going straight to a full comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the 700D grades versus the ST700 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 700D and Samsung ST700. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 700D Gallery and Samsung ST700 Gallery.

Sometimes, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes only by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 700D and ST700.

As you can see, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 700D with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon 700D will result in greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The fresher 700D should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
