Is there any reason why I should buy the T4i instead of the T5i? They are the same price and the T5i seems to be a little faster

Buy whichever is cheaper. The differences between the 2 are so small. T5i has a 360 degree dial and some extra creative filters. I don't think it's worth the extra price.

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.

I only l have the T2i, but according to dpreview.com the T5i also uses the LP-E8 - Check it out.http://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/slrs/canon_eos700d/specifications

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.

As far as camera quality and picture quality, etc, they are equivalent?I purchased the T700, didn't realize there was a T77 available. I am considering returning and getting the T77 because of the price.

I really don't see what difference the battery will make! But not having used a T5i, I still think it will work. You must consider that you are not venturing much money to keep from getting it and trying it! In my view, it will work well with the T5i! I don't believe you will have any problem! If it doesn't, just return it to Amazon and they will give you a credit or refund. I believe in Amazon based on my experiences with them for over 8 years.

I upgraded to this from a T3 myself, and it is absolutely worth it. Better white balance, better colors, faster autofocus, larger screen that swivels, better feel to the camera, ability to use a wireless shutter release, better kit lenses, better feel to the body, silently changes focus while recording video etc. etc. I've written a detailed review myself, and even compare it to the T3 I upgraded from.

The T5i makes great quality photos. I have shot over 3000 photos since purchasing mine about 2 months ago and am extremely satisfied. I have not used it for videos, however, so am not qualified on that aspect.

Initially, I was also thinking of purchasing XSi earlier but now zeroed in on T1i (or 50D - wallet permitting) because (1) higher Effective Pixels in T1i / 50D - 15.1 M as against 12.2 M. ( I agree not a big factor for casual / normal photography) (2) HD Video in T1i (though one of my last considerations , but still it's a cool feature to have - managing a DSLR & Camcorder during an event / ceremony is difficult for me ) (3) DIGIC 4 Image Processing engine in T1i / 50D is better than Digic III in XSi (4) Lower ISO Rating / range in case of XSi (100-1600) as compared to T1i / 50D (100-3200 expandable to 6400,12800) meaning better performance in low light for T1i / 50D. (5) Number of LCD dots (in the LCD screen) is much higher in T1i / 50D (920,000) as against XSi (230,000) meaning better LCD visibility in bright sunlight. (6) Last but not the least , XSi was launched in January'08 as against March'09 for T1i - so you have already lost ~1.5 years out of 5 year life!! However , in case of Pixel density and price XSi scores over T1i/50D. Btw, cost difference is not much for T1i with and without the kit lens - better go for T1i kit. Canon 28-135mm zoom lens is ok but I like Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens. Hope this will be helpful for you.

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!

I use a 7D and you can access the battery with it, so I assume a t4i would be the same.

Hi Caner. I can't answer for 100% sure as I don't own a T4i but I assume so.

It works great with my T3i, and the mounting/eletronics haven't changed generations yet so it should work the T5i.

I have the E4, and a friend who wanted one like mine ended up with the E5 as it was only $6 more. All the features are the same. They are both working great months (mine 7, his 3 or 4) later. Unfortunately the only device we have in common is the phone, and his laptop is even a smaller screen, so we really can't tell if the extra 2000 makes much difference.

Because, like the T3 it replaces in the lineup, Canon's Rebel T5 is thier "budget" entry-level model so cost savings took priority over performance. Previous budget models included the T3, XS and XT which were always a bit technologically behind their more expensive 'i' siblings.

I just read through both of them and don't see much of a difference. the T3 looks the same as my T3i. B.t.w. I love my T3i

If you are really serious abt photography go for the 70D. The T4i is now obsolete but pretty similar to the T5i. It is much more simpler and you would rather get very quickly shooting manual mode all the time. It is then when you would realize you need more control over camera and 70D is the best fit. That's my experience. But instead of focussing on the camera Ty to invest more in some good glass eventually.

The T4i is very good for short video clips but DSLRs tend to overheat during long uninterrupted shots. You'll still want your camcorder for school plays, etc.
