Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Touchscreen Example Videos

[c3hammer]

I think the main reason for the touch screen was to work with the video autofocus and autofocus tracking. Those functions are so much more easily implemented through a touch screen.

If it actually works like on the video camera's when using big L glass at f/2.8, this cam could become a monster for stabilizer work. Currently there is no way to rack focus when on a stabilzer effectively with higher end glass and a large sensor. The only way to use medium to shallow depth of field stabilzer footage is to keep the camera at a very specific distance from the subject. This has always seriously limited the usefulness of certain stabilzer shots.

Looking forward to see how this "gimmick" works out. It could prove to be incredible for the moving picture world if it actually works.

Cheers,
Pete

Why the hell did a Rebel get this technology first and not a flagship camera like 1DX or 5D Mk III? As a 5DM3 owner, I would seriously like to know.

Because it's gimmicky and not useful?

You haven't seen everything the touchscreen can do yet, have you?

I don't care.

Not caring does NOT equal not useful, right?

Why are this gimmicky LCD touchscreens used by Epic pro cinema cameras from Red?

I found this function very useful. But it depends of implementation by Canon, it can be easily pain in the ass if its working arkwardly just like some stupid software or web GUIs.
