View Comments Comments All Robb I've read several on line reviews of the T4i and according to what I read the 4 was shot in the foot with the grip color change problem.
HKR Oh give me a break, if they at least would have included the new DIGIC 6 Processor but wait no, it's better to introduce it with a cheap and crappy pocket-zoom plus of course the 60fps Videomode Hell, for video, my gh2 spanks this. Mr AJB Blink and you'll miss nothing, I can only surmise that stagnant product development as regards the sensors is related to the floods in Japan or perhaps don't want the upper entry level cameras upstaging the cream of their DSLRs.
Mr AJB Ah, reading the specifications and comments here there's better ISO performance and no doubt corresponding lower noise levels over the previous model, that's progress then and important for everyday photography in all weathers and light. X If only i did not have already lenses from this system i would choose other one in a heartbit!
Gully Foyle I think that even average Joe will face a dilemma when he will have to choose from the D and the D. Higuel Thanks for the info!!! Pix Man Apparently not, the D stock will be sold but no more will be made, but they are continuing the D - even they don't see a big enough difference between the D and this 'new' camera to sell both.
Peiasdf A fresh from the oven brownie for anyone that can spot the difference between D and D. I want brownie. Surely more satisfying than this "update". Francis Carver Don't really think so. Higuel sony?
Maybe it's more noise reduction. We won't know until we get to test it. Rachotilko Well, Canon is actually quite good performer in terms of general midtone high-ISO noise levels. Rather, it's a deep shadows noise and implied DR that is ish. Pix Man I've just bought one of these with the old D badge on. That's a very expensive new badge! Articulated screen 2. On sensor AF 3.
Touch Screen These are what have really changed between D and D. What innovation, bravo! George Veltchev Looks like someone needs a sense of humour upgrade The was decent, the will be good as well. Shunda77 Oh my goodness! It's time for a few "your sensor's so old" jokes. Solar Ben Your sensor is so old, it needs reading glasses between it and the lens. Peiasdf Could someone point me to the origin of "soup of the duck"?
Rachotilko Hopefully for Canon but also for their vendor-locked-in customers this performs much better in terms of noise floor - ie. Nukunukoo What really makes this a D? All it means that people will now get a D for cheap! Geez ;. Of course it needs a new model number.
IrishhAndy Shocking in its mediocrity. Cameras are getting really boring. NektonFi That's not all! Well they given us the D Splitter. Real mediocrity. Glenn72 Next DerbyBill Where's the 70D? Chaitanya S My thoughts exactly or the the 7D mk 2? The Davinator Boring. This is what they offer? Josh Or more likely they simply don't have this mythical 24MP sensor everyone is assuming or is it more like hoping? You may also like. More about gear in this article. Latest sample galleries.

Or, you can take full control, with 64 levels of manual adjustment, and a 3. Displaying fine detail at approximately 1. Thanks to a new, solid construction between the monitor's resin-coated cover and the liquid crystal display, reflections are minimized, and the display can be viewed, without glare, from any number of angles.
The LCD's surface is treated with a smudge-resistant coating to minimize fingerprints and maintain a bright, clear image display. Using capacitive technology similar to today's popular mobile devices, this screen is touch-sensitive and intuitive to use, with familiar two-finger touch gestures for zooming or changing images.
Menu and quick control settings can be accessed, and both focus point and shutter release can be activated with the touch of a fingertip using Touch AF. Great night-time photography, without a tripod: Accessible right on the EOS Rebel T5i Mode Dial, Handheld Night Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and detailed dark areas, delivering results previously impossible without the use of a tripod. By shooting, micro-aligning and combining four consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast enough to avoid camera shake, the EOS Rebel T5i Handheld Night Scene mode makes dramatic nighttime photography simple.
By shooting three consecutive shots at different exposures underexposed, correctly exposed and overexposed and then combining the images, the final result maintains detail in both the shadow and highlight areas, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed. All this happens automatically, producing a nicely balanced image straight from the camera. To add to the fun and creative possibilities available with the EOS Rebel T5i, the camera has seven different creative filters that can dramatically alter the mood and visual effect of any scene.
Each effect can be applied in three different levels low, standard and strong , and easily previewed on the LCD panel in Live View. Since the filters can also be applied to an image after shooting, it's easy to try several effects on the same shot during post-processing. However, Canon's since updated this model line with a pair of higher-resolution megapixel models: the stylistically similar Canon T6i and a more advanced Canon T6s that offers a top-deck LCD and controls that are similar to Canon's higher-end DSLRs.
Read our Canon T6i and Canon T6s reviews for more information! The megapixel Canon Rebel T5i is essentially almost the same DSLR camera as its predecessor -- the Rebel T4i that was launched early last summer -- but with a few key changes. There's a new kit lens, real-time viewing of creative filter effects, an improved Mode dial and a revamped rubber grip.
All of which might not sound like enough to warrant a brand new model name -- especially the rubber grip part -- but it's evident that Canon wanted to deal with an issue that plagued the T4i and effectively replace it with a new flagship Rebel model.
You might remember that the T4i had a strange issue where the handgrips on both sides of the camera could become discolored even after brief use and could potentially even cause an allergic reaction in very sensitive individuals.
Evidently, zinc deposits left by an overuse of a rubber accelerator during production of the DSLR caused its grips to turn white. Canon issued a repair recall for T4i cameras that experienced the problem. Canon assures us that the new grip of the T5i does not have the same issue. Design and build. Seen from any angle, the Canon T5i is a dead ringer for the T4i. From in front, the only noticeable difference is the new model name badge.
The new T5i grip looks and feels just the same as that on the previous model: ergonomic, reasonably comfy, and surprisingly robust for a consumer camera. In addition to the slightly-tuned grip material, Canon has also upgraded the overall texture of the T5i's camera body with a coarser, almost gritty feel that makes it a little easier to grip. The most apparent change in the design is to be found on the top deck.
Switch to the Scene mode and you find just three options: the same three modes that have been demoted from the dial.
With fewer positions and no gaps between them, the dial looks nicer, and the icons larger and easier to read. They're also embossed, standing proud of the dial's surface just slightly, and the Program, Priority, and Manual modes are surrounded by a thin border line that helps call attention to them.
From the rear and sides, there is really nothing to tell you that you're not looking at the T4i. You'd be hard-put to tell them apart in-hand, either. Both cameras have precisely the same dimensions: 5. Canon lists the T5i as a scant 0. The T5i with its STM lens tips the scales at Sensor and performance. Its fast-focusing dedicated phase-detect AF system uses nine all-cross-type points. In addition to still images, the T5i offers Full HD x pixel video recording at up to 30 frames per second.
A faster 60 fps rate is possible at a reduced x resolution. The 3-inch, LCD touchscreen monitor is the same as the one on the T4i, offering x pixel resolution 1,, dots and the ability to flip out, side swivel, and tilt into different positions to help compose shots from difficult angles.
Real-time viewing of creative filter effects. A nice, new touch on the Canon T5i is the ability to preview in real time what your image will look like if you chose to apply one of Canon's seven creative filters in live view mode. The ability to do this before you take the shot makes it much easier to get the look you're after. Most of the filters do reduce the live view frame rate noticeably, but none does so enough to make framing difficult.
All are available only for JPEG shooting. The Scene position. Curiously, all three are grouped under the Scene position on the Mode dial, although they're not the typical scene modes found on most cameras: These take multiple images and merge them in-camera to help create shots with the correct exposure or dynamic range.
Understandably, these modes cannot be previewed. New kit lens. The mm STM lens offers four stops of image stabilization. It focuses extremely quietly and smoothly, thanks to its silent Stepping Motor. The stealthy AF is great for shooting p HD video with the T5i without the distracting background noise of a focusing motor. Resolution is 18 megapixels, with a native aspect ratio. Maximum image dimensions are 5, x 3, pixels. The system, available during both live view and movie capture, uses a combination of phase detection and contrast detection when the subject is in the center of the frame, and contrast detection alone when the subject strays nearer the edge of the frame.
The use of on-sensor phase-detect enables smoother autofocus, with less hunting. I also used the Live View with non-STM lenses and while it's still kind of slow for capturing fast-moving subjects which you should use the viewfinder for, anyway , it's not bad.
Nikon D The three multishot modes that used to be on the dial now reside in a scene program slot. They are HDR Backlight Control which automatically combines four image exposures to retain detail in shadow and highlight areas for backlit subjects , a four-shot Handheld Night Scene mode, and Night Portrait. Tweaks to the mode dial are one of the few differences between the T4i and T5i. The articulated touch screen remains a favorite of mine for shooting video. It's responsive and has an intelligent user interface, including the usual capabilities, like touch focus, that streamline Live View shooting.
You can view the screen pretty well in direct sunlight. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, though operations like selecting ISO sensitivity go much faster when you can directly select rather than having to cycle through them. It also might matter to you that you can only manually select ISO sensitivity in whole-stop increments, though in auto mode it uses third-stop increments.
Overall, I find Canon's interface straightforward and easy to use. But I still hate the tiny autofocus points in the viewfinder; you can't see them until you prefocus, at which point you realize that you're too high, low, or off to the side. Though it can blaze through a burst, if you can't keep the subject on-target all that speed is wasted. Nikon switched to AF areas for the D It's your turn, Canon.
Plus, I'm not crazy about the flat buttons. While I rate the camera 8 for design, it's a grudging 8; the great LCD and otherwise logical control layout keep it from sinking.
