Re: Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Specifications

Yikes that's a long list.

Key points:

  • 18 MP APS-C
  • SDHC slot, UHS-1 compliant
  • Current xxD's AF system (9 cross-type points, found in 40D, 50D, 60D)
  • T3i metering system (63 zones like 7D and 5DIII)
  • ~5 fps
  • standard Rebel viewfinder coverage and mag, but a prism vs. mirrors
  • ISO 100-12,800 expandable to 25,600
  • articulated touchscreen LCD
  • hybrid AF during video shooting

Re: Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Specifications

"Viewfinder

■Type Eye-level pentaprism"

If true, a pretty radical departure from 'Rebel' traditions...

"■Canon EF lenses, the lens (EF-S Lens)
(35mm equivalent focal length marked on the lens focal length of approximately 1.6-fold)."

What on earth does this mean ???. Wouldn't this be extremely confusing, as all other EF and EF-S lenses have their actual focal length marked upon the barrel?

Thank you for putting the list up, but I'd add stereo mic in the basket. It's pretty convenient imo.

lexonio said:
UPD: Yeah, according to now-increased auto ISO (12800), it's new. Stereo mic is the nice addition as well.
That might be the effect of Digic V on the current sensor, or the result of a few tweaks. Until they say its a new sensor, I'd assume its the old one.

So does this autofocus in live view? I saw tracking in the live view focus modes...
That's the theory, that it can AF in video mode

really important things are always missing for example flash sync speed WE WANT CANON TO GIVE US 1/500 to say the least, 1/160 - 1/200 is a joke, this "new" camera doesnt worth the stretch.

I don't think they will give us that in a Rebel body, especially for a built-in flash. They probably want you to buy their external flashes to use the high-speed sync to shoot at above 1/200.

What on earth does this mean ???. Wouldn't this be extremely confusing, as all other EF and EF-S lenses have their actual focal length marked upon the barrel?

It looks more like they're making future rebels with similar specs to the 60D, which is often considered a "super rebel". This is evidenced by the increased frame rate and the 9 AF point cross type instead of just center cross like the older rebels.

It looks like they Canon is revamping their lineup. The rumored specs for the 70D appear to be a merger between the 7D and XXD line to restore the XXD lineup's position as a semi-pro camera instead of a pro-sumer.

"35mm equivalent focal length marked on the lens focal length of approximately 1.6-fold"

Probably just their way of confusing customers to say that a cropped sensor has a 1.6 multiplier factor.

EDIT:
After seeing the pictures of an aerial view, I now see that they changed the On/Off switch to include Video mode. Might warrant some complaints about accidentally switching to video mode when meant to turn it on to take pictures in a rush. But that's only if you're clumsy I guess.

Re: Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Specifications

Evaluative metering with image sensor Metering mode and center-weighted pyeonggyuncheukgwang

I don't know what 'pyeonggyuncheukgwang', but if the D800 has it, I want it.

Good video improvements (zebra style warning, variable bit rate: excellent)

Not much for the stills shooter.

With the pentaprism (if correct) and new AF then bang goes two of the big arguments for the 60D.

The AF being improved is pretty big for still shooters. And the 5fps in shooting. It's basically a 60D now, in a T3i body.

Considering what little there was from the T2i to T3i transition, this is a much nicer upgrade for camera users.

The emphasis is on video this time for sure. For stills shooters the improvement highlight list is short:

-improved 9 pt AF
-5 fps (jpeg)

--
-improved liveview focusing will help stills shot in that mode as well; digic 5 (not mentioned in list at this point).

What stills photography really want is a NEW sensor with improved dynamic range. We'll have to wait for the T5i for that on a Rebel. The previous rumor is for a 22mp sensor to come out with the 70D. My half-baked plan at this point is to buy a t4i for summer shooting; sell it when the 70D comes out.

It does look like a pretty decent upgrade, especially for video -- the only real disappointment for me is stretching out that 18mp sensor for one more generation. ::)

really important things are always missing for example flash sync speed WE WANT CANON TO GIVE US 1/500 to say the least, 1/160 - 1/200 is a joke, this "new" camera doesnt worth the stretch.

This would mean a radically improved shutter, never ever seen on rebels. If such a thing were to be devised it's exactly the kind of practical improvement that would be pioneered in the 1 series. Not an easy thing to market to the non-technical, who are the majority of the rebels intended user.

I don't know if I'd really be all that bothered in anycase. In a controlled environment the actual exposure duration is the duration of the flash tube burst, much much faster than 1/200th of a second, or even 1/500th of a second.

High speed synch pretty much fixes any problems I've had with daylight fill. I know it requires an external gun, but if you are serious enough about flash then, you'll have one anyway. The HSS power drop won't be any worse than the power of the built in flash anyway.

The emphasis is on video this time for sure. For stills shooters the improvement highlight list is short:

-improved 9 pt AF
-5 fps (jpeg)

Do you actually own a (DSLR) camera? If so, then what's so bad about your current model that it can't wait until the rumoured 70D announcement? If not, then just buy a 600D or a 60D and enjoy taking pictures with it!

I have an older Canon dRebel that still works OK, and I could just wait for the 70D, but... I figure if I get a T4i and sell it by the end of the year it should hold its value fairly well, freeing up money for a new camera.

Almost as good as having your cake now and eating it too.

(I tried responding to this earlier and it appears the post was lost, sorry if this is a dupe.)
