I haven't taken a lot of video but I never have much with any digital camera I've owned. Having said that, I would ONLY shoot video with STM lense (like the 18-135 in this kit) so when the auto focus "hunts" for focus its at least silent. I shot one video with the 50-250...you could hear every motor movement. Yes it is simple to use. You set the mode you want (manual, aperture priority, shutter priority or auto) and press the record button...It picks up clear audio better than any cellphone(probably not the best comparison) but in the videos of the kids in the yard you can heard what they are saying clearly enough from 20+ ft away.

Yes, it takes great video. Very user friendly. Just be aware that it automatically turns off every 30 minutes. Not knowing that screwed me up big time the first time I used it for video.

The video is very sharp, and the camera is easy to set to video. The results are very good, but I recommend the use of a stabilizer or tripod, to make better video.

Greetings, I have used it with 70D and 5D Mark IV myself, but I have never handled a T2i, I'm afraid. But it seems to work just fine with that model as well. Here is a little video that you could use: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YR-DF_sQCQBest regards,

I used my canon only a few times. Did not try the video, but I found out that if you do not hold the camera steady the shots come out very blurry. It seems impossible to get a clear shot because the camera is too small.

Yes, it works fine on the t5i. Just make sure you specify a Canon mount on it.

I definitely think the T49 is worth the money -- but only if you buy the nice STM lens. It is seriously an amazing lens, and I love the autofocus feature when you're taking video. Even if you're only focusing on photos, the camera is great. The enhanced auto function takes beautiful photos when you're in a hurry and don't have time to mess with ISO and aperture, and I think it takes crisper photos than the T2i (although it's probably just the nice lens). Go for it if you have the money.

The answer is very easy at first. Is this item funtional with CANON T3i? YES. .. works perfectly... BUT! (always is in somewhere an "BUT) it won´t work for START & STOP in video mode... if you want this shutter for video is no the best election... if you use it for photo, is perfect...

I think it is definitely worth it: you will have 18 megapixels in contrast to 12, a better range of high ISO settings with less noise, and my perhaps favorite thing: a swivel screen which enables you to see what you are shooting when the camera is held down low or above your head...without sitting on the ground or climbing on something. I love my t5i!

Hi the reason why I got this camera is not for pictures but instead for videos, because from my research and reviews it's one of the affordable camera in the market when it comes to filming, cheap but won't sacrifice the quality of videos you will produced, and it does work best. I have my old 5D for my pictures still works like a pro even for the oldest version . Hope this helps.

I've never shot a T5i so I honestly can't compare. I had a Rebel for about 10 years and loved it, but the 70d is just awesome.

@ Ronnie Dale Frost: What do I think? I've already pre-ordered one! Yes, $5,200 is a bit steep, but I will sell my current D3 body (mint condition, should fetch $3,200 - $3,700) and use those proceeds to offset the purchase price. I want and need the extra 1-2 stops this new extended ISO range will provide. Regarding the 720P-only video, while the omission of 1080P seems both inexplicable and ridiculously short-sighted (given what is readily available elsewhere, and for far less money), it's not a dealbreaker for me--and that comment is all the more interesting when you factor in that I am an independent filmmaker. Nope, for filmmaking, I want a REAL video camera/camcorder, designed for filmmaking from top to bottom. The Canon 5D Mark II, for example--and despite that whole very impressive Laforet short--is NOT a camera I would even consider using for indie filmmaking.

DEFINITELY go with the T5i. I was thinking the same, but the extra features, newer & better tech, MANUAL video mode (light settings) and such were a great addition. This camera is great for the starting shooter or amateur. I went from little knowledge to taking masterpieces. Go for the T5i. You won't regret it.

I'm sorry I can't help because I never use video except by mistake. I only take pictures and I have loved this camera and features. I would like a longer optical zoom so I gpt anoter camera for special occassions, /I wish I could be of help on the video.

This Camera is in class kind of the middle of the road for the top end of Canon, BUT! I have had really good quality pictures with this camera. The movies have be very good also. Keep in mind that a camera is just a camera with out the right lens or settings for each shot. But if you don't have a lot of money to spend on a camera then the Canon T4i should work for you well... Go to my site and view my photography work. This will give you and idea on what kind of photography you will be turning out with this camera... You be the judge. https://www.facebook.com/PhotoByJamesPhotograohy?ref=hl

While I have used the video, I rarely do. So I am no expert. But, to me, the video is as good as the pictures- the sound is fine. It shot in low light really well, so maybe that helps you? I'd say it is certainly as good as my iPhone is!

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

Tell the truth I haven't tried as when I shoot video the battery runs down soooooooooooo fast it is worthless. I would buy this camera if you are going to shoot videos. Mine will not hold the charge long enough to shoot videos unless you keep changing batteries. I am disspointed in the camera and have returned it twice to fix and still has not been solved. When it does work the video is clear as well as th pictures though.

That seems odd. If you can fit the T5i on to a monopod or tripod then it should fit on to the slider (they are the same size screws I believe). One thing you could do and it would help with your slider shots in general is using or buying a tripod head. They are as cheap as $20 on here. I use that and it allows me to get shots where the camera is looking up or down as well easily rotating around the slider (for push in shots as well as sliding horizontally)
