The Canon EOS Rebel T4i delivers extremely good photo and video quality plus improved performance in Live View shooting over the T3i -- as long as you buy the more expensive 18-135mm STM kit. Plus
The camera has a more streamlined shooting design than it
Fast to start and shoot. Sharp
Articulated touch-screen LCD. Compact. Nearly silent video autofocus when used with STM lenses. 5fps shooting. Good image detail at high ISOs. Fast autofocus.
Above-average image quality
Good performance
Articulating touchscreen
Enhanced video features
The Light Tone Priority option is already several years on Canon cameras. My impression is that little is applied. And that's a shame
Because the Highlight tone priority not only produces less about exposure. If the Custom Function "C.Fn II -3 Highlight
Comprehensive touchscreen interface that is intuitive and efficient
High image quality with good balance between detail and noise reduction in JPEG output
Good subject tracking AF in viewfinder shooting mode (compared to mirrorless competition)
5 fps with ample buffering in JPEG-only mode
Very responsive operation
With menu access available even when buffer is full
Good-looking video outp
Responsive touchscreen with added bonus of touchshooting and image reviewing
Light body
Consistent metering system
3 inch LCD capacitive touch-screen
Hybrid CMOS AF sensor with continuous AF for movies
Quiet focusing STM kit lens option
Chromatic aberration correction
5fps continuous shooting
Multi shot noise reduction mode.
The editors didn't like
Photos a bit soft
At least with the 18 135 mm kit lens
Brownish color cast in a few situations (mixed/artificial lighting)
Chromatic aberration correction should be on by default
Strong redeye
No removal tool in playback mode
Live view AF performance still very slow with nonSTM lenses
Poor performance in low light regardless of the lens
Buffer fills quickly in burst mode (especially for R
The feature set remains rather blah
And its photos aren't as good as the T3i's at high ISO sensitivities
Tiny viewfinder. Very limited burst shooting in Raw mode. Video autofocus is choppy with non-STM lenses
Tends to blow out highlights
Flash must be raised for AF illuminator to function
Live View AF is a little sluggish
Best video operation requires more-expensive STM lens
Slow 'hybrid AF' performance in live view and video modes (compared to mirrorless competition)
Slightly higher noise levels than its peers
Default dynamic range lags a bit behind its peers
Using flash with Auto ISO enabled results in ISO 400 even in bright light conditions
Cannot configure common live view and movie mode options independently
AF illuminator integrated into flash (must have
Auto white balance not always entirely accurate (more neutral than faithful)
Above-average image quality, Good performance, Articulating touchscreen, Enhanced video features
Tends to blow out highlights, Flash must be raised for AF illuminator to function, Live View AF is a little sluggish, Best video operation requires more-expensive STM lens
The Canon Rebel T4i is a user-friendly yet relatively advanced DSLR, with helpful tips for beginners and plenty of controls and features for more experienced photographers. Above-average image quality, good performance, improved autofocus, and enhanced vi...

Abstract: Just in front of the hot shoe are the new stereo microphones, imitating other competing designs. Canon didn't mention it, but often the stated goal for putting the mics here is to reduce noise from hand and lens movements. Canon removed the Movie position...
The 650D is a serious camera at an affordable price. Its a great first step into DSLR territory although it offers more than enough features to attract attention from seasoned enthusiasts. Its more of a progression rather than a revolution from the ...

A fine camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T4i's more expensive 18-135mm STM kit (or body with another STM lens) is the only version that merits an unqualified recommendation. You can probably find better alternatives if you just want a sub-$1,000 dSLR for st...

Canon continues to make the top of its Rebel line just what it needs to be. As video has been the main theme in DSLRs this year, the new, more robust AF system is a welcome addition, as is the stereo microphone.At the same time, Canon has maintained the A...

As far as video performance is concerned, the Canon T4i isn't a 5D Mark III, but the camera put up some strong numbers in our video tests. Not to mention the camera also has a brand new continuous autofocus mode and a touchscreen LCD—two features you ...

Conclusion Canon's EOS Rebel T4i (also known as the EOS-650D) is their flagship entry-level digital SLR (if there is such a thing). It packs many of the features found in Canon's more expensive bodies into a more compact package and adds touchscreen f...
2012 has brought us yet another Canon EOS digital Rebel, and once again, the Canon Rebel T4i is leading the way in the intro/beginner dSLR market. It has not had major changes from the T3i, but it has had some upgrades that will make significant increa...
