So, what about the T4i?

[kdsand]

Well I've had the t 2 I the differences that stick out to me with the 60 d in practical everyday use are.
Autofocus a f points faster better.
Penta prism noticeable improvement in viewfinder.
Faster frames per second.

I love the top LCD screen but cant sell short the Q button & menu as they are quite practical & useful on the t2i.
Yes the body is plastic or perhaps call it an exotic resin. if I have an option for a magnesium body I will gladly pay more for it. But if I'm being truthful and realistic the magnesium body is more of an aesthetic issue than durability issue.

A new t 4 I Would have to have improved features and specs over the t3i and the t3i is already relatively close to the 60 d. If it had a new and improved sensor in the new mark 5 processor I would imagine people would compare it to the 7 d when shopping.

I just keep going back to thinking that the 7D must be replaced very soon in order to affectively market the rest of the product line.

I was only talking from a pure marketing BS perspective that they must beat sony to get the win at best buy.

+1

I'm a big fan of the Rebel series (traveler, backcountry skier, backpacker - every gram counts) and sure hope they don't put more megapixels on the next sensor. Let them put 27 mpix on the next 1200D for all I care, but please, not the T4i.

Digic5 is all I ask for. Thank you Canon for listening

Mpix itself doesn't change the weight. After all, the sensor is the same size, APS-C, the pixel density is just higher.

LCD size, articulating LCD or not, battery capacity, etc. all have much more effect on weight.

That said, I don't want more pixels, I want better pixels. Let's hope for a improved sensitivity sensor. Canon has used that same 18Mpix sensor for a couple generations now, time to upgrade.

 

[AJ]

Bigger pixels are better quality pixels. That's why I don't want 27 mpix.

Same here.
I really dont want a lot of Mpix - instead i want better sensitivity. But i am afraid that Canon will put more Mpix because its and entry(a bit amateur) level camera, and Mpix sell....

Hopefully we will out tomorrow

I believe most 1st time DSLR owners are exited by Mega pixels but then learn they just want quality.

So, no T4i announced. What are the rumors/bets/wishes for the release of the T4i?

 

[dichiaras]

Is this pic of a t4i photoshopped?
http://dslr-video.net/2012/03/02/canon-eos-rebel-t4i-650d-rumors/

It looks real to me, but I cannot magnify enough to be sure it is.

 

[roombarobot]

Looks 'shopped to me, particularly the T4i part. Here's to hoping though!

 

[peederj]

The thing that makes me most doubt that is a real T4i picture is, if Canon has organizationally decided that the DOF preview button is better placed to the right of the lens (as on the 5d3), what is it still doing on the left (from the operator's perspective) in that picture?

 

[malasuerte]

It is photoshopped.

 

[akiskev]

What do you believe guys? Can we expect a new sensor on the t4i?

 

[Marsu42]

Further more, 18mp require really good AF (if one shoots portraits), very good lenses (calibrated in service-centre), micro AF adjustment (which is missing in XXXd) and good patience when pictures are somewhat out of focus. Am I the only one who sees that xxxd line is not "well balanced" in terms of feautures and target audience?

Actually, to me the XXXd and XXd line seems to be quite balanced - these are *not* cameras for professionals shooting in low-light with fast (L-)lenses. I wouldn't protest if they were a little cheaper, though.

The af of the 60D is crappy in comparison to the 7D, so you'll get less good shots in pro situations. Afam doesn't seem to be needed with Canon lenses of f4 or slower because of the larger dof. In hindsight, I think Canon cut this from the 60D and below not only to sell their 7D, but to torpedo fast 3rd party lenses which seem to have more need for af adjustment.

What do you believe guys? Can we expect a new sensor on the t4i?

I think Canon has to do something if they want to get away with yet another XXXd/XXd release. I'm happy with 18MP, but I want iso 1000 to be like ISO 400 now - something like a 2 stop improvement like in the 5d3 to 5d2.

Digic5 is all I ask for. Thank you Canon for listening

If they listen to this (which they won't ): Please put in Digic4 which is magic lantern compatible, because a new processor will only help with jpeg or video, and I don't use both. Afaik, a new processor won't make that much difference when shooting raw.

 

[Adobespain]

Why there isn't any rumor for the T4i.
OK all the people are speaking for the 5D3 now but how about us with lower budget.

 

[akiskev]

Ok so what we expect from the T4i?
I'm sure there will be a in-camera chromatic aberration correction.
Probably they won't change the focusing system and the viewfinder will remain the same.

 

[peederj]

There is this...

[akiskev]

Oh yes, a touch screen. This seems like a rebel feature.

Did you notice the last sentence of the article you linked?

We will see a Rebel before a full frame like 5D III or something similar.

 

[peederj]

Since I believe the Rebel will have MORE features than the high end bodies (since the competitor mirrorless cameras do), it makes sense to release the new Rebel after the high end, because people would complain about not having the features the toy model does.

 

[Ryan708]

Haha at the lens on the "T4i" I would assume it is photo shopped with that 200$ old school non IS lens sitting on the end.
