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)
Good image quality. Touchscreen is useful, functional and offers actions like pinch to zoom. Easy to use for beginner photographers. For the majority of uses, AF in video is very good
Currently only two STM lenses available. Easy to accidentally switch into video-recording mode
The Canon 650D has all the features you would expect on an entry-level SLR, but the shooting experience and extra bells and whistles make this a compelling camera....
At launch the Canon was an excellent choice for people who want to get creative with both still and moving images. It's looking a little old in the tooth now and sensor technology has certainly improved but with secondhand models selling for around £250 i...
Abstract: Although continuous autofocus during video capture has already been seen on the likes of the Nikon D3100 and D3200, for Canon users, this is a significant development. The 650D isn't a direct replacement for the 600D, which Canon intends to continue produ...
Abstract: Bypassing the idea of producing a highly portable mirrorless camera that can generate DSLR-quality photographs, Canon has decided to shrink down its entry-level DSLR instead, resulting in the EOS Rebel SL1 for the US market and the EOS 100D for the Europe...
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 this is aimed at if going for the body and lens combo we had on test, no anti shake built into the camera body itself
If you're a keen amateur looking for a jack of all trades digital SLR that will last you years of service this Canon should shoot to the top of your list
While the EOS 650D offers little significant advantage in image quality over the 600D, the viewfinder AF and overall performance are better, and the clever touch-screen control system works extremely well, allowing you to really make the most of an excel...

Clever use of a touchscreen display and a vast improvement to autofocus performance on video and stills makes the 650D the best all-rounder for amateurs...
