With low noise levels through ISO 3200/6400 (low/normal light)
Supersharp 3inch touchscreen LCD can flip to the side and rotate 270 degrees
Useful touchscreen functions include focus

Live view AF performance is noticeably improved when using STM lenses
Tons of manual controls

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)

The Canon EOS 650D / Rebel T4i is the best mid-range Canon DSLR yet, offering a lot of new features that aren't apparent at first glance. In particular we appreciated the new touch-screen interface, faster burst mode, expanded ISO range and the abilit...

Its easy to say theres no difference between an affordable DSLR and a mirrorless camera. But the subtle differences are actually pretty significant.AdvertisementIf youre going to use your camera as a way to just take high-quality snapshots, the limitat...

The Canon EOS Rebel T4i delivers top speed along with excellent image quality, and supports smooth video autofocus when paired with the right lens. It's a laudable performer, but doesn't quite edge out the Nikon D5100 as our top pick for under-$1,000 D-S...
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.
Only 3-frame auto bracketing, Movie crop / digital zoom of T3i / 600D dropped, Live mode hybrid AF can be slow and unresponsive.
Canon Rebel T4i / EOS 650D verdict The Canon Rebel T4i / EOS 650D is Canon's latest upper entry level DSLR. It fits between its predecessor, the Rebel T3i / EOS 600D and the EOS 60D in the Canon line up and, to a casual observer, it might seem to ha...
Abstract: Canon has just released their new Rebel T4i – their first (of hopefully many) adventures into the touchscreen dSLR world. This camera is a step up from the Canon Rebel T3i (also making it the third dSLR Canon has released with a flip-out LCD).We'll be tak...

Responsive touchscreen with added bonus of touchshooting and image reviewing, light body, consistent metering system
Auto white balance not always entirely accurate (more neutral than faithful), room for improvement with touchscreen, burst depth could be better
Combining a touchscreen into a DSLR would always be controversial, but DSLR LCDs have, for some time now, been much more than simply devices for viewing images post-capture - and this would always be the next logical move. Not only has Canon implemente...
Quality: top level, accurate colour, excellent sharpness.Why you'd buy the 650D/T4i: easy to use; reasonable price; powerful camera with excellent video capture (but see below).Why you wouldn't: stabiliser not very effective in video shooting with similar...
