What built in storage does Canon EOS 700D have?

Can anyone tell me how much built in storage the Canon EOS 700D has? Also, does it come with an SD Card? Otherwsise, what size SD card is recommended for this camera?

The camera does not have built-in storage. (The only system camera that I know of with integrated storage is the Leica T series). However, it can accept SD cards of any capacity up to 64GB. Perhaps it can accept larger capacities, but check first.

Camera manufacturers no longer pack memory cards. And back when they did, those did not feel useful (refering to 16MB SD card with Nikon Coolpix 990). Maybe your retailer offers something or tosses something in?

Size: Really a big question...

According to a table towards the bottom of that article a 32GB card should hold about 1000 RAW images and of course way more JEPEGs

I'm buying 80MB/s Sandisk "ultra" class 10 cards for my bread & butter cameras / shooting. They are currently: 32GB 17 Euro, 64GB 27 Euro and 16GB 12 Euro, 64GB 50 Euro.

For sports or birding I do recommend getting the fastest card your camera handles (do they still test such things? - I'm out of the market) try to look up reviews and the write speeds stated there. - Its all about flushing your image buffer faster, to shoot the next burst. Class 10 is fast enough for video.

Sizes and amount of cards is a djihad question. You'll miss shots while you change cards. OTOH there is little sense in abusing a 64GB card to shoot 24 frames of online merchandise, pull it out download and reinsert it. Some day the contacts will wear through?

How about not putting all your eggs into the same basket? (During epic vacations or weddings.)

Important: Own & carry a 2nd card! - Scenario 1: Somebody insists on you deleting their image: smile, comply, walk away switch cards, run image recovery at home. Scenario 2: Camera reports writing error: Change cards, shoot on, recover what you can at home.

I buy enough cards to hold my entire vacation and don't delete files before I am back. But yes I try to download to my Netbook. Suggestion: store cards outside your camera & wallet when you 'll face pickpockets and maybe switch from bread & butter to "sports" when you enter a game park or similar.

Somebody else will surely suggest buying only the fastest etc... But I am a proud cheap skate.

All DSLRs have some built-in "buffer" memory.

Canon are quiet on how much buffer the 700D has, but reviews show it's enough for a burst of 6 RAW files or 22 JPEGs.

Canon are quiet on how much

Is it accessible via USB cable? - My M8's shows up in windows explorer. Anyhow: buffer gets flushed when you turn the camera off, maybe even when it goes to sleep mode?

Buffer memory is volatile RAM that loses its content when the camera is powered down. Its purpose is to provide rapid temporary storage between sensor output and slower flash-card storage.

 

On some cameras it allows an option to "Shoot without card", but only stores low-quality JPEGs. It's not intended to provide permanent storage, more just a demo mode in store.

 

Accessible via USB? I don't know. This probably varies between camera models.

On the Canon DSLRs I've used, when you don't have a card inserted you can review the last photo taken but that's it.

 

AFAIK, Nikons come pre-set to lock with no card present(I've never bought a new one, but it's always selected when I do a reset on them) and if you WANT to shoot without a card being present you have to go in and specifically enable that capability via a custom function.

Trivia - the Ricoh GXR has 86 MB built in. Wonder if there are others.

The OP asked about "STORAGE" so I don't think they are concerned about a buffer. More likely they want to avoid having to purchase a card.
