I assume you are angry that it doesn't smoothly track moving objects? If so, expect to be unimpressed with future offerings for the next decade. The shallowness of the DOF makes creating a useable video AF nearly impossible. The camera has to decide which high contrast area to focus on when there are numerous options and then smoothly transition to the correct one. Except then people will complain its slow, so it makes those transitions fast, thus looking jerky.tomsop said: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.

Freelancer said:Don Haines said:Correct me if I'm wrong.... but wasn't there something recently about a sensor with focusing integrated into it? If this is that sensor than it could have a substantial impact on live-view and movie mode focusing.
good morning.
the 650D has such an hybrid sensor already.
Don Haines said:With the specs of the T5i, the 70D was to be at least as good, probably better build, shoulder display, Digic 6, and slightly faster. If the 7D2 is going to be better than the 70D it's going to be a kick-ass little camera

Basically, the AF tracking system of Canon's most expensive DLSR (at $6k) can lock focus on an object at 12fps for several seconds. Yet, a good video AF would have to do the same at 30fps or 60fps for minutes at a time. Ain't gonna happen on a <$1000 DSLR. If you want video AF, you want a camcorder with a small sensor.

I doubt it's already time for a digic6....

like the EOS-B? If it's out there, I can see it going into the 70D and a pair of them into a 7D2. They probably left the digic5 in the T5i to make the upgrade simpler..... software and improved sensor.... no new circuit boards or re-tooling.
Albi86 said:Excuse me, where did you read of the eos-b having a digic6? Or any other camera, for that matter?
