Canon 700D vs Canon 100D: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison
Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon 700D and Canon 100D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 700D has external dimensions of 133 x 100 x 79 mm [5.24 x 3.94 x 3.11″] and weighs 580 g [1.28 lb / 20.46 oz] [including batteries]. Canon 100D has external dimensions of 117 x 91 x 69 mm [4.61 x 3.58 x 2.72″] and weighs 407 g [0.90 lb / 14.36 oz] [including batteries].
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon 700D and Canon 100D. Canon 100D is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 16mm narrower, 9mm shorter and 10mm thinner than Canon 700D.
Here is the back view size comparison of Canon 700D and Canon 100D.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 700D and Canon 100D.
Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon 100D is significantly lighter [173g ] than the Canon 700D which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon 700D and Canon 100D have the same Canon EF/EF-S lens mount and APS-C sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Canon EOS 700D [EOS Rebel T5i] nor Canon EOS 100D [EOS Rebel SL1] provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections:

Canon 700D vs Canon 100D: Sensor Comparison
Both Canon 700D and Canon 100D have APS-C sized 18.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the 700D and 100D sensor size comparison.
Canon 700D and Canon 100D have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor ScoresDxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth [DXO Portrait], dynamic range [DXO Landscape] and low-light sensitivity [DXO Sports], and also gives them an overall score. Canon 700D and Canon 100D sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that 100D has a better overall score of 63, 2 points higher compared to 700D's score of 61.
Canon 700D vs Canon 100D Comparison of Available Lenses
Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. Canon 700D and Canon 100D have the same Canon EF/EF-S lens mount and currently there are 333 native lenses available for these cameras.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 113 lenses with Image stabilization for Canon EF/EF-S mount.
