Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Full Specifications

[Rodknee]

Looks like a good spec if upgrading to a DSLR but not enough of an improvement on the 550/600D to warrant changing. Hopefully this is a good sign for the spec for the 70D which could be a worthwhile step up for 550/600D owners looking to progress. I guess price will be a deciding factor for many purchasers if the 600D is still retained in the Canon range.

This re-assures me that canon Will have something special for the 7D mark II.

The Rebel will get the 60D AF

The 70D will recieve the 7D's AF and become the top-tier APS-C body for Canon.

The 7DII will recieve a New AF System and Possibly... Just maybe... APS-H. <---- Ace in the Hole vs D600 Nikon.

No mention of the 3x digital zoom in movie mode. That would be a huge dissappointment if they took that feature out. It's the main reason I purchased the a T3i for wildlife video. I was getting stunning results with a 600mm lens for an equivalent 2880mm focal length at f/5.6

I was looking forward to the new T4i to have reduced moire and alieasing in video mode and the significantly better auto focus for stills.

Here's hoping they didn't remove the 3x feature, but just failed to mention it here on this spec list.

Cheers,
Pete

it can "jump a CAT scan"?!?!

been waiting for that forever.

Price guess?

$949 or $999 with the 18-55 kit would be my guess. Take $100 for body-only. T4i with the new 18-135 would probably be $1199, it's usually a $200-250 price premium over the kit lens combo

The D600 is, by rumors, a full-frame camera that is a lower MP, crippled version of the D800. Kind of like a better 5dII if you would. And the 7dII would be an improvement over the 7D. So how is an awesome APS-C camera an ace in the hole against a cheap full-frame camera? Completely different set of users.

I do agree it bodes well for the 70D getting some useful upgrades, seeing as the T4i is currently on par with the 60D on everything but build quality.

APS-H with 10FPS and Great ISO performance for sub 2000$ would make me reconsider the d600 vs the 7DII.

70D will get the 7D's AF and the same 18 MP sensor. 7DII will keep the same AF and get a new sensor.

"APS-H with 10FPS and Great ISO performance for sub 2000$..." what are you high on and where can I get some?!?

 

[seymour110]

Digiv IV or V?

 

[Rodknee]

Another rumour site is quoting a Digic V - but these are rumours. We should know tomorrow for sure

 

[BRNexus6]

No headphone jack, no All-I compression, no mention of recording limit.

It also doesn't list manual white balance in kelvin. Why does Canon treat this like a premium feature?

Also, has the processor and sensor been updated?

Doesn't seem like a worthy upgrade if you already own a T3i.

 

[Canon Rumors]

It's DIGIC 5+

Okay, well I'm about to buy my first DSLR and i've been waiting for a month or 3 (been tracking this site on and off for 3 months aswel) for this one to arrive, which wasn't too bad since i wasn't in a hurry anyway. I have used a few Canon rebels before and hence the reason i wanted to buy one, the experience and the opportunity to swap lenses between one another.


from here on out i'll explain my choices based on my (perhaps wrongly) attained knowledge gained from browsing and reading up on camera gear.

So from the information i've gathered it would be wise to go for prime lenses since they "teach" you to become a better photographer, besides i'll use this camera for video shooting aswel and since I use a glidecam HD1000 zooming with lenses completely throws it off balance again. Also i was under the impression that the "kit" lens hardly delivers the quality that the t4i body has to offer, thus i thought investing in primes is a great way to get all the quality out of the body.

I wanted to buy a Sigma 10-20mm F/4 - 5.6 Mainly for action shots combined with the glidecam (Didn't want to go for a fisheye due to it being way overused in the parkour scene)
A Canon 35mm F/2.0, mainly for portraits. The reason for this is my friend complaining about his Canon 50mm F/1.8, it's great but just not so practical in small rooms due to the crop sensor on his T2i.
To cover some more range i thought investing in either a Canon 85mm / 100mm (prime).

The reason for posting it in this specific topic is, well mainly for the next question. The sensor seems the same but the ISO has been upped to 25600. From my (little) experience using the camera at 1200 or higher gets you real grainy pictures right? So what's the use from upping it from 12800 to 25600 that's shitloads of grain we're talking about right?

Or is the ISO performance improved on this body by using DIGIC V+?

Hope you can help me out here !

Any idea if there is an improvement with video moire and aliasing over the older sensor? (i.e. like we've seen in the new 5d).

 

[K-amps]

Same old sensor? :

In that case I would be interested in knowing how much can I get a used T2i for after this is announced...

Hopefully, it's a new 18MP sensor built from the ground up, but knowing Canon I doubt it. Probably just the same sensor with some slight tweaks and Digic V processor.

 

[Marine03]

Same old sensor? :

I don't see how they could keep the same sensor for the 70D or 7D2, question is, with the 7D2 being rumored at 10-11 FPS and T4i being 5FPS will the 70D be in the middle at 7 or 8?

Maybe I'm a feature snob but I want as high FPS and a new sensor when I upgrade from my 450D for $1500

 

[whatta]

let's see the dpreview hands on tomorrow

btw where is the 640*480 @ 120 fps from s100?

 

[tomsop]

i posted before but could not find it or any replies.


I have the Rebel XSI - I want video. This will be a substantial improvement but I do not understand the critiques. Seems majore one is the use of an old sensor. I want to have new technology in my components especially as you can see it has been 4 years since my last purchase. Should I wait for the 7DII since it appears it will have new components though more costly with additional features - I do not want to wait much longer beyond this late summer - other comments interpreting this spec list as a good deal or should I wait more? - Tom

They reused that sensor in several models across the line over a few years... so don't be surprised. If you are willing to spend $1500, perhaps a 7D is under consideration?

I do not understand Canon... why are they taking a back seat to the Exmor boys.... regardless of what the purists say, The ground reality is that MP & ISO performance sells, why would they let Sonikon take away market share like this?
