What are the improvements over the t4i?
504961
Almost nothing. Put it this way: if you found them for sale at the same price then might as well get the T5i. The T5i MSRP is slightly lower than what the *original* MSRP for a similar kit was for the T4i, but we all know that you don't pay MSRP. Even here on Amazon a nice package in my cart shows the T4i to be nearly $200 cheaper than the T5i. That's because of the Canon discount that ends (this time) March 30th (it has been extended several time since November 2011). Essentially, they are clearing out the T4i and the Canon lineup will continue to have T3i and T5i, but no more T4i. Here's the opening paragraph from CNET's review, which highlights the only actual differences between the two models: "No, your eyes aren't deceiving you: the only significant difference between the now-discontinued Canon EOS Rebel T4i and its replacement, the T5i, is the price and the kit lens options. There are some small enhancements, including a new finish; 360-degree rotation mode dial plus the addition of scene mode; a return of digital zoom during movie recording (which had disappeared in the T4i "upgrade" from the T3i); and real-time preview of creative filters in Live View. But ultimately, it's the same camera." -CNET

Did some digging. Seems that CNET, like many others, expected digital zoom would return in T5i. But, I wonder if they actually had one to review or just surfed online and wrote from there. Digital Zoom in movie mode is not mentioned on Canon's page, isn't in the manual like it was in the T3i manual, and a number of actual owners online say that despite expectations and customers' request, Canon in fact didn't put it back in the T5i. So you're right, Jiim, the most signficant difference is the higher price.

I've got a t4i and haven't had any problems not seeing the entire screen surface... The magnification is great for focusing... It's very easily remove able and adjustable according to your needs... I use mine without the eye cup just because I may not always be able to view with the same eye when roaming and doing diff shots and it word well

The short answer is 'yes'. The relative image quality provided by the T3i is actually on par with the newer models. If you ever want better image quality, a higher-end lens will provide a much, much bigger improvement (and, since you saved some money on choosing this model, you might be able to get such a lens sooner). The camera includes everything you need and is only missing a couple of shiny new features provided on the newer models. If video is VERY high in your priorities, however, you might consider the 70D or SL1.

It got some features that T3i lacks, Like touch screen, more frames per seconds, Digit 5 processor, more iso, fastest focus, even when it have the same crop sensor 1.6, if you can afford it, go for it.

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 two bodies are very very similar. they are functionally the same size, but it's a risk, as I'm not 100% sure the buttons and dials are all in the same spot. I'm trying to remember (it's been a while) but I think the jump from T1i to T2i is basically a better screen, but the same size, and a slightly faster FPS. If your willing to spend this much on a dive housing, it might make more sense to sell the t1i, and buy a t2i, to be 100% sure it works well.

The T4i offers small but noticeable improvements over the T3i. I have both; to be honest, both are very nice cameras for advanced amateurs/enthusiasts. I would spend the extra for the T4i. Rumors are that Canon will introduce a new Rebel this year, so ...

Absolutley . The T4i has a better processor . I also love the flip touch screen . It stays clean and is easy to change settings . I use a mini stylus rather than my finger . I know some people complained about the touch screen ... but think about it ... every other device we have has a touch screen (i-pads , i-phones , etc.) why not a camera .I changed cameras after comparing my pictures with a friend of mine who had a T4i . His pictures had better color and seemed to be more focused .

Best I can figure, the T3i is the American version of the 600D, but, like I said, that's the best I can figure! Sorry I can't be more definite.

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!

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 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.

T3i is next version of T3 with 18MP compared to 12MP in T3. It is also capable of shooting videos at 1080p with 30fps while T3 could only do 720p videos. You may seen these differences anyway by now.. but here are some reasons to consider T3i... Much higher resolution screenHigher resolution moviesSupports 24pBetter image qualityBut on flip side, it is pretty costly affair...

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

I'm assuming that the the T1i is the same as the T4i. Both are APS-C bodies. So shouldn't be a problem.

This lense does add some new features which work with the t2i. It has rear focusing which means the front element does move during focusing. Of course your camera does not support movie servo mode. Is the 70-200 f4 L better? Of course but a lot more money.
