Welcome. Like you I'm another newbie. Couldn't afford the 700D but I have the 1100D. Had it a fortnight now. Not had much chance get outdoors with it yet. But get out there and start taking shots.
I have been reading lots of books and tutorials and flicking between av mode, fully auto (green) Creative auto and macro. Still a lot to learn.
Get out there and enjoy it, I'm already looking for my next lens.
