Should I invest in a 7D or a T4i?

Depends on what you need it for, if you are a professional who needs a high frames per second rate to shoot sports, etc., or you need a rugged camera you should go with the 7D, if you are an amateur who just shoots for their own memories, or sharing images, the T4i is great. It has the same sensor as the 7D, but the next generation processor, a really helpful tilt/swivel LCD, and lots easy to use automatic modes if you are just in a hurry. It has excellent image quality (I would recommend the 18-135 lens) and the video is great (although even my S95 has great video). I bought one for my wife and she is very happy with it. If you are sometimes not so sure about what aperture/shutter speed to use, I would 100% recommend the T4i because of all the presets that can help you out in a pinch. Hope this helps.

If you shoot sports or any other fast moving objects (such as small children), get the 7D. 8fps (7D) can really get you the shots that 5 fps (T4i) might miss. Don't expect big differences in image quality (dynamic range, etc), they are very close. I have a 40D (2007 vintage) myself, and rented a 7D last weekend to see how it performs. With the same 70-300L lens, there really wasn't much difference in image quality. T4i with it's tilting touch screen could be very useful. I have no comments on its focusing accuracy or speed though.

Honestly I couldn't say as I don't have a T4i but the design of the cameras are almost identically so I would buy one. This grip is awesome too, I've never had a single issue with it.

Sound like you have a nice kit, but does sound like and upgrade is in order For your t3 this would make a great but quit long portrait lens, and a good lens for some sports. Keep in mind though it is not a zoom. One person here mentions the 70-200 f2.5 zoom which is a great lens for what you should consider. I would put it on a full frame body or the 7d. One more thing I would not trade, as I said you have a nice kit. In yur shoes I would spring for the 7d body and this lens for starters. Keep your curent kit for backup. The 50mm f1.4 would be something I would want to great portrait lens for t3 and 7d.

Spend the extra bucks on the t5i. There is a major picture quality and video quality from the t3i and the t5i. And the lcd display is delightful

I have the 7D which is a crop sensor frame and the 5D Mark III which is a full frame. On my 7D it just doesn't give quite as much of a sphere look but there is no black. The 5DIII gives a much better sphere look. Unfortunately I don't have experience with the rebel directly though.

Unsure about the 70D, but as far as I recall, I've had no issues with a T4i. But, I also have a speed-grip/battery on it as well.

If they're the same price then get the T5i. It has a couple of new features. The T4i has been discontinued so is no longer subject to Canon's pricing policies.

The T2i body only version also is not in stock at B&H; Photo, Adorama and Best Buy. It is not even available on the Canon Web site. I've been thinking of biting the financial bullet and buying a 7d instead.

It depends on what your purpose and budget is. By the lens you have chosen, I get that you want to take wide angle panoramic shots.If money is no problem - Buy the EOS 5D Mark III and you will get peace of mind till your shutter mechanism dies on you (that is lets say about a decade or two :) )If budget is a constraint - Then you should look at the EOS 6D or the EOS 7D which are pretty good. Personally, I would go for the EOS-6D because it has a PART-magnesium body but then the 7D comes at ~1600$ which is a great camera for that kind of money. Note, the 7D might get an upgrade soon (5 yrs old model, launched in 2009) so you could get a great deal on the existing model.Go take your pick :)Cheers,Sai It depends on what your purpose and budget is.

It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it. Both are great cameras and I'm sure you will be happy with either. After doing an exhaustive amount of research I selected the T5i because I plan on shooting stills and videos. The Canon out performs Nikon slightly in the video category, while Nikon has a slight advantage in low light shooting stills. If you do decide to go with the T5i I strongly recommend that you seek out "camerarec toby" on you tube. He has fantastic tips and training videos on the T5i that are free and yet invaluable. That being said I firmly believe that either camera will amaze you with their features and abilities. It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it.

I honestly don't know, you will have to do some research I'm not a camera person this was a gift to me along with a 7D and I haven't used it much at all.

I think the T5i is a better choice is you are willing to spend the extra money. It's faster and more capable, plus it comes with the newer 18-55 STM kit lens, which not only has benefits for autofocus during video, but it's also noticeably sharper optically than the older 18-55 kit lens bundled with the T5. The two have the exact same 18MP sensor, however, so image quality is probably very similar. Plus, you get an articulating LCD and capacitive touch screen with the T5i and the screen has more than double the resolution of the T5's. The T5 is not a bad camera despite its use of older technology, it's just way too expensive at it's starting price. If it were to drop down to say, $400-$450, it would be a better buy.

J. Perez --There is a lot of fanboyism going on at the beginning of this thread... and it's passed off as fact to be worse.If you're looking at these two cameras consider your needs. You already have nice canon glass so you may be better served going with the 5d II. What do you shoot? If it's sports I would definitely say lean to the D700 or look at the 7d (or 1d III as you mentioned). I personally think the 5D II has the best IQ of the bunch, but that is an opinion.Really, the two cameras mentioned here are a different beast. It's like comparing mac laptops to windows desktops.

Hi, 7D has faster rate of focusing but 6d has better low light performance. I'll say 7D as it focus more on sports and animals shooting users : ) hope that help

If you can't afford the best DSLR so far, the Canon 5D Mark III, I suggest you consider the 7D. It's an awesome camera, albeit a crop-sensor one. It's got great professional features at quite a reasonable price. The 6D is a full frame and its centre (and only cross-type) focus point may have a very, very low light sensitivity, but that's about it, as far as that camera is concerned. The 7D is much more useful in every other situation you can think of.

I would recommend the 60D vs the T5i. The T5i would be decent for shooting interviews and the such but the 60D has better color depth, higher dynamic range, lower noise level at low light and a significantly better battery life. As for the T5i, it has video auto focus, a touch screen display, a higher ISO and an HDR feature built in. I see the touch screen as something that I personally wouldn't like. I like my buttons when it comes to a camera. As for the HDR, that's something you can quickly do with the 60D but in an external program. I hope this answers your questions! Sorry for it being such a late reply.
