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)

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 won'...

This is not a camera that inspires strong feelings, yet it's mostly very reliable (sometimes, vanilla is the flavor you want). On the handling front, Canon's Rebel-series cameras have always been notoriously easy for beginners to pick up and use, and the ...
Canon sticks to a successful formula by using the same 18-million-pixel sensor and metering system as the EOS 7D and 60D, so the 650D performs as expected, which is good news for photographers. The addition of a touchscreen is a bonus and, alongside the b...
Excellent picture quality up to 3200 ISO, 5 fps burst mode, Highquality swivel LCD, Comprehensive video mode with stereo sound and continuous autofocus, Welldesigned touchscreen interface, Can pilot remote wireless flashes
Hybrid autofocus system could be faster, Autofocus can be a little hesitant in low light, White balance could be better, Noisy shutter release, No sign of WiFi, GPS, USB 3.0
The Canon EOS 650D is a responsive SLR that's easy to use and takes excellent-quality photos. In fact, when it comes to taking pictures, this EOS is a sure success. The touchscreen is sleekly integrated and the video mode's continuous autofocus brings ...
18MP hybrid CMOS sensor, Continuous auto-focus in video mode, Beautifully crisp video footage, Controls to suit all
Gimmicky feel to the touch screen
verdict Our new favourite DSLR has a new hybrid CMOS sensor which enables continuous autofocus during video recording, a responsive touchscreen and 5fps burst shooting. Image quality from the 18MP sensor is excellent and focusing is super-quick. Brilliant...
Touchscreen, Vari, angle screen, Image quality and high ISO performance, 5fps continuous shooting, Easy interface
'Only' 18MP, No headphone socket, Raw burst, depth, No rating button, New NR mode is JPEG only
It may not have the pixel count of the Nikon D3200 , but the Canon 650D is a very well-rounded DSLR with plenty of features for novices and enthusiasts. Image quality and high ISO performance is excellent. It's a worthwhile upgrade for anyone with a Cano...
Touch-screen adds to user experience, Improved autofocus performance, Good image quality
Touch-screen icons a little small, Slow processing of digital filter effects
The Canon EOS 650D's all-new touchscreen functionality is very well integrated, which really adds to the overall user experience by making the camera more intuitive to use. Photographers likely to appreciate it the most are those who prefer to shoot using...
Responsive autofocus, touchscreen can be useful, JPEG burst mode can be sustained (picture dependent), LCD screen is detailed and vari-angle useful for framing, live view autofocus improvements benefit movie mode
Plasticky build quality, raw & JPEG continuous shooting is still poor (limited buffer), live view autofocus still lags behind SLT and compact system cameras, pre-flash in low light just isn't subtle, higher ISO images have more noise than the previous gen
The 650D has a superb autofocus system that works in a variety of conditions and while the on-sensor hybrid AF system does improve live view autofocus speed it’s still not up to scratch compared to the likes of the Sony SLT system. The 650D's touchscre...
