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

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 EOS 650D/Rebel T4i provides an interesting window into Canon's thinking with regard to the entry-level DSLR market. The Rebel series of cameras is one with long-standing success that predates the digital revolution. And they remain very popular to...
Things are hotting up in the entry-level-plus sector now that Nikon had unleashed its D3200 and Pentax its K-30. The competition is fierce, but the EOS 650D has Canon's business-like approach to D-SLR design on its side, which results in a high level of c...
High quality rugged feel; tilting touch screen LCD; high stills and video resolution; razor sharp images with image stabilised 18-135mm lens; good jack of all trades DSLR
Pricey for the beginners; no anti shake built into the camera body itself, $899.00
