Does the T5i use the same lenses that the t1i? Is there a substantial reason to upgrade from a t1i?

the T 5 i has better speed when using the movie function and it has more monitoring capabilities for better viewing of shoot then older versions! Lenses are different as well!

I believe that they are both 3/4 sensors so both run EF-S lenses. Yes, there is a big enough difference to upgrade. Going from a t4i to a t5i not so much but from a t1i yes

I could not find a difference so I went with the cheaper lens and it has been very good. Since I don't have the II to compare I can't say for sure.. My only complaint on this lens is that the focus motor is noisy when shooting video On the canon 5i.. that could be a problem with all the lens.

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.

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.

a big difference is the t5i has a touch screen and the t3i does not, but if you want to find out all the details ask this question on youtube and you'll find tons of info :)

I am thinking about purchasing the t1i...I am in the Real Estate business and have very little photography experience. I will be shooting mainly indoors/condos 10x10 rooms with 9ft ceilings..lots of white and minimal light narrow hallways, mirrors, direct sun on balconys. tile floors. granite counter tops stainless steel appliances, usually dark wood furniture etc...which lens for this type of setting...will be posting on websites and sending direct to clients.

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.

I would check with Fotodiox. I checked further and noticed there is one for the rebel series. I'm not sure if the T1i is included.Good Luck.

I have the 50mm f1.8 and love everything about it. My only problem is the focusing speed. I don't mind spending $340 for the 1.4 but I read alot of people had problem with it and have to send it in for repair. This made me very nervous. Anybody familiar with this problem? One more thing, if you want to choose between the 50mm or 85mm, check the crop on your camera first. Ex. T3i have a 1.6 vs 5D have a 1.0 meaning a 50mm on a T3i is equal to a 80mm on a 5D.

If you haven't already purchased yet, we owned two T5is and returned them both because we were not satisfied with the camera. The T5i had duller colors in our studio, and no matter what settings we chose, we couldn't improve it (except in post-production). Not only does the Nikon have around 8 more megapixels than the T5i, but it takes significantly better quality images as well. Overall, there is no competition: go with the Nikon.

I bought it formy T2i and it's amazing. So much better than the 18-55mm that came originally with it. I did run firmware updates and added the lens to my camera's list for Peripheral Illumination Correction. I found the information on how to do it on google. But I love the lens, it works great on my T2i.

If you're into video, the T5i is probably worth the extra cost. If your prime concern is still photography (using the optical viewfinder), however, the T3i will do just as fine a job more or less. And you can use that $200 you saved for an external flash or put it towards another lens.

I have no idea about T5i dimensions, T3i fits perfectly with standard lens.

I don't own the camera or the lens, but I believe Canon 5D II + 24-105mm is bigger than T4i + 18-135. So I guess yes.

So the crucial differences are that the SL1 has a DIGIC 5 processor, it is 4 ounces lighter, has better low light capabilities, and has high dynamic range capability. The processor is more modern in the SL1. However, the T3I has a much larger battery, and is a physically bigger camera, which may be a boon if you have big hands. Note well, I have the SL1. I am a six footer with fairly large hands, but light weight is important to me and the SL1 beat the competition.

I don't know since I don't own a t5i. I can tell you the optics are quite acceptable and that, if it has a Canon mount, it will fit. There may be some features that the t5i offers that will not be available with this older lens.

Not sure about the t1i. .. but I have the t3i and it works fine because it fits the lens. ..I have 2 lenses and it works fine with both. .. hope this helps. :)
