Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Full Specifications

[BRNexus6]

No headphone jack, no All-I compression, no mention of recording limit.

It also doesn't list manual white balance in kelvin. Why does Canon treat this like a premium feature?

Also, has the processor and sensor been updated?

Doesn't seem like a worthy upgrade if you already own a T3i.

It's DIGIC 5+

Okay, well I'm about to buy my first DSLR and i've been waiting for a month or 3 (been tracking this site on and off for 3 months aswel) for this one to arrive, which wasn't too bad since i wasn't in a hurry anyway. I have used a few Canon rebels before and hence the reason i wanted to buy one, the experience and the opportunity to swap lenses between one another.


from here on out i'll explain my choices based on my (perhaps wrongly) attained knowledge gained from browsing and reading up on camera gear.

So from the information i've gathered it would be wise to go for prime lenses since they "teach" you to become a better photographer, besides i'll use this camera for video shooting aswel and since I use a glidecam HD1000 zooming with lenses completely throws it off balance again. Also i was under the impression that the "kit" lens hardly delivers the quality that the t4i body has to offer, thus i thought investing in primes is a great way to get all the quality out of the body.

I wanted to buy a Sigma 10-20mm F/4 - 5.6 Mainly for action shots combined with the glidecam (Didn't want to go for a fisheye due to it being way overused in the parkour scene)
A Canon 35mm F/2.0, mainly for portraits. The reason for this is my friend complaining about his Canon 50mm F/1.8, it's great but just not so practical in small rooms due to the crop sensor on his T2i.
To cover some more range i thought investing in either a Canon 85mm / 100mm (prime).

The reason for posting it in this specific topic is, well mainly for the next question. The sensor seems the same but the ISO has been upped to 25600. From my (little) experience using the camera at 1200 or higher gets you real grainy pictures right? So what's the use from upping it from 12800 to 25600 that's shitloads of grain we're talking about right?

Or is the ISO performance improved on this body by using DIGIC V+?

Hope you can help me out here !

Any idea if there is an improvement with video moire and aliasing over the older sensor? (i.e. like we've seen in the new 5d).

Same old sensor?   

In that case I would be interested in knowing how much can I get a used T2i for after this is announced...

Hopefully, it's a new 18MP sensor built from the ground up, but knowing Canon I doubt it. Probably just the same sensor with some slight tweaks and Digic V processor.

I don't see how they could keep the same sensor for the 70D or 7D2, question is, with the 7D2 being rumored at 10-11 FPS and T4i being 5FPS  will the 70D be in the middle at 7 or 8?   

Maybe I'm a feature snob but I want as high FPS and a new sensor when I upgrade from my 450D for $1500

[whatta]

let's see the dpreview hands on tomorrow

btw where is the 640*480 @ 120 fps from s100?

i posted before but could not find it or any replies.


I have the Rebel XSI - I want video.  This will be a substantial improvement but I do not understand the critiques.  Seems majore one is the use of an old sensor.  I want to have new technology in my components especially as you can see it has been 4 years since my last purchase.  Should I wait for the 7DII since it appears it will have new components though more costly with additional features - I do not want to wait much longer beyond this late summer - other comments interpreting this spec list as a good deal or should I wait more? - Tom

They reused that sensor in several models across the line over a few years... so don't be surprised. If you are willing to spend $1500, perhaps a 7D is under consideration?

I do not understand Canon... why are they taking a back seat to the Exmor boys.... regardless of what the purists say, The ground reality is that MP & ISO performance sells, why would they let Sonikon take away market share like this?

No one knows exactly what the 7Dii will have thus you have not had replies.... I'd be willing to bet $10 it has the same sensor, will not surprise me. However if you can wait for a nice surprise, then do so. Good things come to those who wait.

I'd love a 7D, but have a hard time spending money on lets say an Iphone 4 knowing a 5 is a few months out with new tech.   With that being said Even though the 70D or current 7D are capable camera's when I make the move from my 450D I'd like it to be the newest tech not 3 or 4 year old tech.

That's pretty much every iPhone generation.  At least the xD series has a longer life cycle.

Hi all

Complete beginner here. Well even less than beginner since I haven't even got a camera yet!
I have the same question as tHarten. Will the Digic-V increase ISO performance (less noise at high ISO's) or is it completely irrelevant?

Thanks

Dionysis
