Canon Rebel T4i / 650D – Introduction

The Canon T4i is the latest addition to Canon’s EOS camera lineup.  Since the EOS 300D, the xxD DSLR cameras are the most popular DSLR cameras in the world, and what gave Canon its great success in the digital photography business.

In a nutshell,The T4i/650D is equipped with a 18MP Hybrid CMOS sensor (will talk about this soon), 14-bit DIGIC 5 processor, ISO 100-12800 (expanded up to 25600), 9-pont AF sensor, a large 3-inch 1.04M-dots vari-angle Toucn-Sensitive display with multi-touch support. The camera can shoot at 5 fps in burst mode and record 1080p30 videos with stereo sound and continuous autofocus with subject tracking.

Canon really wanted to take this 650D / T4i not one step, but a few steps forward. The competition from Nikon’ DSLR cameras and the Mirrorless cameras don’t make the life any easier. Canon had to come up with a vastly improved camera in order to convince photographers that it  can innovate like the other companies. I personally think that beginners and enthusiast photographers just won’t accept any other average DSLR camera. It has been too long since we’ve seen Canon implementing unique features in its entry-level cameras. I was even convinced that it’s better for many people to grab a Micro Four Thirds over an entry-level DSLR. Can Canon make us re-think our decision and purchase the new 650D / T4i over the competition?

Upper Entry-level cameras like the 650D are targeted to beginners and enthusiast alike. People that might want to start with a less expensive camera and update as they grow. The Canon already has the 1100D, it’s most basic DSLR camera. The T4i is certainly a few steps a head of that model, and with its new features, it really looks like a completely unique camera in the EOS lineup.  The all idea is to have a camera with all the features that enthusiast might want, although not in the same build-quality and performance of the more expensive models (ie. 60D, 7D, 5D Mark III, etc.).

My first DSLR camera was the 400D, and I had such a great time shooting with it. Of course we’ve become spoiled when it comes to features. Most of us don’t need all the latest specs to shoot great images, but let’s admit it, there are here because they are useful, cool and can help beginners shoot better photos and videos too. In the days of mobile phone cameras, it seems that you need to put out more innovative products that can convince people to purchase your new products. The touch-sensitive screen is one of those features.

OK, let’s take a look at the Canon Rebel T4i / EOS 650D key features and see why you should be excited that this camera is released
