Canon EOS Rebel T5i Leaks

Honestly it looks very plausible. I was betting the 700D would have been crappy. My guess is the 70D will be acceptable but overpriced while the 7d2 will be very very good and very very expensive.

In the end the 7D line will keep the crown in the aps-c war but at a prohibitive price, while the 70D will struggle against the D7100 in terms of value and performance. IMHO of course ;)

So far, no one has moved away from the basic silicon technology, no black silicon or other revolutionary technology. There are slightly different versions of it, but no new tech has come out, and none is on the horizon.
Even the three layer foveon sensors use old tech silicon.

The 650D and possibly the 700D are sporting 18MP sensors, meanwhile Nikon's new APS-C are all sporting 24MP sensors with good dynamic range, ISO, etc. Food for thought.
Ok, let's not mention Nikon's quality control issues

Besides pixel count there is dynamic range and color sensitivity. Higher pixel count while keeping the noise levels down is a net plus. You can always reduce pixel count in software but you cannot increase it.

A new kit lens to sell with the camera kit doesn't equal a new camera; it's a modified camera kit. There has to be something different for Canon to justify the T5i branding.

Personally, I think for the target audience, the T4i is probably more than enough camera. Maybe Canon should have just skipped a cycle and offered the camera at a discount to keep it competitive.

Yeah it's getting kinda ridiculous, the differences between the T2i and T3i were pretty substantial, but the 3i compared to the 4i and 5i, not so much.

True.

However, MP count does not define technology, and it creates issues for many users who do not own or want to own the fastest and latest computers. My D800 low light images took way to long to render in LR 4 on my fairly new computer, and NR or brush actions took a almost unbearable amount of time. I used it for a couple low light events, and processing 500 images took far too much time, so I sold it. The 5D MK III images process very quickly. I also found that even with high end Nikon glass, I usually could not take advantage of all those pixels. The best images were definitely better, but in the end, it wasn't worth the time to process them.
I could see a landscape photographer who took a few images and had time to process them being very happy with a high mp camera, but not the average Rebel user.
Of course, there will always be those who brag about how many MP their camera has, but only a few who can take advantage and actually get more detail. In any event, a user will not get worse images, that's not a concern.

The reason the T4i is not that good is beacuase of the video AF fail. Can anyone tell from the leaked specs whether the video AF will be fixed? If just this one very important feature is fixed, that is enough to justify a new model. Otherwise, I sat on the fence with the t4I, will stay on the fence with the t5I, too.

Still using a Rebel xsi.

And the price: Probably 20% higher than t4i?
Nope, I bet body debuts at $849, camera with kit for $999. Those have been the retail price points for the T2i/T3i/T4i. And by next holiday season, you'll see deals for it in the $600 range. The xxxD line is very reliable price wise.

I did use the term "line of sensors"...most of us "uneducated masses" realize Canon continues to tweak its sensors and that product lines will stretch for more than a year.

In fact, the point I was making was precisely that...expecting a commercial company like Canon to continually release newer and newer tech with every single cycle is not realistic and they will need to make a profit.

Quoting my original statement about unfair expectations from a commercial company and making a statment about "uneducated masses" and high megapixels is odd. What relevance does this have to anything I said?

As for "uneducated masses", I thought only my colleagues in the Longwood Medical Area used those terms...glad to see it thrive elsewhere. ;)

This is like saying the 1950's combustion engine still essentially lies at the base of automobile engines today and why talk about innovation. I don't view the lack of flying saucers based on magnetic force modulation to define advancement in technology.

With all due respect, it is perfectly ok for the "uneducated masses" you deride to expect something with every few product cycles their little common brains can cope with.
