Yes.
Large sensor compact is better, but 1.7" is not that big when thinking of upgrading. Sure, RX100 is good but the it's selling at higher price than when it was launched. Probably, Sony stopped production after RX100 II and demand for RX100 is still high and the sellers taking the opportunity and asking top dollar. He can go for G1X for about 28k, but it doesn't seems to be available. And there is no other large sensor compact are far away from his budget of 25k.
He can save the money rather than spending it on another small sensor camera, so NO 1/2.3". So only other category remains is ILC and I am not a fan of mirrorless.

Do let us know how your tests go. I would assume that you weren't in Av because it is unlikely that Canon changed the way their modes work just for the 700D, but it would be nice to have that confirmed.Since you say, it can't be... Then I most likely to be wrong as I have just used it for very few min. When I get the camera, it was set in M mode, I set the mode to Av before using it. May be I could have wrongly set to some other mode and thinking that I set in Av mode
I am checking the Camera physical layout. Let's see...

I tried to recognize the settings I set by seeing the physical layout of the camera, but couldn't As far as I remember, I set the mode Av (or at least I was thinking that I am shooting in Av mode). For now, I assume that I am wrong and will check when I get a chance (I don't know when this gonna happen)
No, the AF will override your manual focusing no matter what mode you are in unless
* You have switched the lens, using the switch on the lens barrel, to MF from AF
* You have left the lens in AF but have focussing assigned to the back button in which case shutter button will only meter and click (if you press the back button before shutter button, AF will kick in once again)

@nac but I will never suggest a DSLR to anyone having a tight budget... If u say I want a DSLR at 25k and will not spend anything for next 3 years ...then its better to go for anything other then ILC or interchangable lens cameras like m4/3 or DSLR ...
even if people getting 600D combo offer (18-55+55-250) try there best they may find it very very difficult to produce a good macro shot ...soo they are missing a huge part of photography itself....they will have to spend another 15-20k to get a macro lens
soo think, in 25k with just 18-55 what option we are giving a person...just wide angle and portraits ...no birding, no macro, its not even useful in a zoo ...

Sujoy, You have a valid point and I am on the other hand thinking I will keep myself engaged just with a DSLR and a prime lens.
Tkin, If you take both our suggestions, then nothing is there to buy. We have eliminated all forms of cameras. Sleep on it and let us know what you think.

Raja,
Yeah sure I will let you know. But I don't know when I will get the chance again to try it...
About the AF:
Lens was set in AF, and I was adjusting focus using focus ring, expecting that I could adjust the focus. But it didn't seem to be adjusting. This is what I asked, "Won't the lens override the focus when I manually adjusting, even if the focus mode is set to AF". And you have already explained that part in your previous post (thank you for clearing that).
One thing I am not getting is "back button focus" or just "back button". Do you mean AE/FE lock? I don't want to annoy you with the thing I don't know, and I dont even I have the equipment to check/see it. All I could do now, is check the user manual to see the physical layout of the camera and understand the things.

Yes, the AE/FE lock. By default it is set to exposure lock but in custom settings you can shift the auto focus trigger from the shutter button to this so that pressing the shutter button does not activate autofocus. It's a far more convenient way of using the camera, especially if you like to leave it in AI Servo like I do.One thing I am not getting is "back button focus" or just "back button".

Ask whatever you want to know, and I will reply if I can. No need to worry about annoying me.
