Learning curve
Spotty Bluetooth connection in some instances
Small pentamirror viewfinder. Very limited burst shooting in Raw mode. Video autofocus is choppy with non-STM lenses

And the feature set remains lackluster
Live View focus seems sluggish
Some physical controls are awkward to navigate

Program mode tends to produce darker exposures
Images are very noisy after ISO 800

Littlechanged from the earlier T4i
Slow Live View and video autofocus
High ISO performance is unimproved
Belowaverage battery life
No dedicated AF illuminator
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
Limited AF points and buffer hamper action performance
Body can feel a touch plasticky
Not a big upgrade from 650D
Can feel a little plasticky in places
Not suited to action photography with limited AF points for tracking and a small buffer

Learning curve, Spotty Bluetooth connection in some instances
