Canon T4i Review

Canon adds another member to its rebel series with the Canon T4i. This new consumer DSLR boasts of accuracy and better performance compared to its predecessors. Let us just browse a couple of aspects that are widely rumored in the market. This video capable and easy to handle camera sports improvised features.  It can easily take the skills of amateur photographers to a more professional level. Canon T4i is the successor of the hottest selling T3i, which is an aggressive competitor of Nikon’s D3200.

Though the new entry looks similar to the T3i, the makeshift ergonomics make it different. In other words, the Canon T4i is a mid-level DSLR camera inclusive of DIGIC 5 processor, improved auto focus, upgraded image sensor, quicker shot-to-shot rate and a high resolution touch screen interface. The thorough focusing streamlines live video shooting, but the absence of peaking edge detection makes the camera a little less than perfect.

Though the Ti4 is a step up from the T3i, several prominent features available in the current model were not found in the previous ones.

• T4i offers autofocus option in the video mode.
• The 18-135mm EF-S kit lens available with the device enables smooth images and silent focus.
• The 24MP sensor with DIGIC- 5 image processor reduces noise while capturing photographs in low light.
• You can expect a faster rate of 5 frames per second with a phase- detection autofocus rationalized to nine cross- type points.
• The stereophonic microphones and 3.0” flip-out LCD screen also make this a great camera.
