No.. I am not intersted to record videos. What's about the photo quality? almost same?

If you are not interested in video, the Canon EOS 50D 15.1MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens is actually the better choice.

yes, unless you are blowing the pictures up to about 36"x48" then you won't be able to notice any difference, given you're not looking at it from 2 inches away. anything higher than 6-8 megapixel will give you a decent print out up to 11x17. so don't worry too much about the upgrade in megapixels.

well. technically there is no best camera, it all depends on the lens you use. You can get a canon Xsi for about $600, it comes at 12MP which is plenty (my friend has this camera) and again, it all depend on the lens, because for landscape photos you probably would need a wide angle lens and so and so. There are different lenses for different shots, do some research or review some reviews on the different lenses to see what they do. I bought the T2i because I have a 46" lcd tv with SD card reader so i'll be viewing my photos and videos with my family on the big screen, so the number of pixels and the HD video was a very attractive point. well. technically there is no best camera, it all depends on the lens you use.

The HD video quality is better on the T2i than the T1i but you don't intend to buy this camera for video recording do you? Other than that, there is a minimal difference.

I like the Canon 50D. I would like to buy the body and buy Canon 15-85mm lens.All people told me that Canon T2i has new technology, but I don' know if the new technology will enhance the photo quality!! I googled for the past week. I couldn't find how the new technology will help me to get a better photo quality with the same lens!

To Tom Martin or anyone who can help, excluding video, why is the EOS 50D 15.1MP a higher quality than the T1i or T2i?I'm trying to decide between the three and when I look at the list of specs for them, they all seem almost identical from what I can tell. I'm sure I'm missing something. Does the 50D have a more rugged build?Thanks to anyone who contributes an opinion on this.

What is the best camera that fits my needs (mainly outdoor and landscape photos)? I'm looking for DSLR that provide one of the best image quality for a lower cost.

This is the size of the CCD sensor, generally the bigger the sensor the better. Do a little research as to why that is the case.

Funny, I was just looking at the two cameras myself and ended up purchasing the SD880IS. The SD880IS is slimmer (0.9 vs. 1.1) and has a bigger LCD screen (3.0 vs. 2.5). Granted, the SD880IS gives up a little in terms of optical zoom (4.0 vs 5.0) but that's the price you pay for having a slim compact camera. I wanted something above the run of the mill 3x optical zoom cameras out there and the 4x SD880IS fits the bill, even if I had to pay $50 extra over the price of the SD890IS. And FYI, the SD880IS is a newer camera, hence the "better" DIGIC 4 Image Processor over the SD890IS's DIGIC III Image Processor.

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

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 :)

Sensor size, not megapixels, is what matters. If you cram a lot of pixels onto a small sensor, and put the same number of pixels on a larger sensor, the pixels on the larger sensor are bigger. All other things equal, you end up with better image quality when you enlarge images captured with the camera that has the larger sensor. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/digital-camera-megapixels-and-sensor-size.html

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.

Does anyone know the differences in the sensor size for the two cameras? Megapixel count doesn't necessarily mean better PQ, but a larger sensor does, right?

If you look at the tech specs, you'll find that the CMOS cameras (D5000, D300S) have slightly more pixels (height x width) than the CCD cameras like the D3000 in each of the three sizes. The actual difference isn't huge, though.

"SX1 IS has a CMOS sensor from the SLR Canon camera (I believe form XS) . So, quality for this camera should be like in this one camera"The Canon SX1 may have used the same CMOS technology as in the digital Rebel series, but its sensor is physically much smaller. The SX1 has a sensor area of about 0.14 sq-inches, and it crammed 10MP intp this tiny area. The digital Rebel series (such as the 10MP Canon XS) has a sensor area of about 0.50 sq-inches. This 3.5x larger surface area for each pixel translates to better signal-to-noise ratio, which is significant at high-ISO settings.

NexC3. Larger sensor is the reason. Otherwise from afar, both camera's look very very similar.

You have to check the lens that you are using with your T4i. If you look straight at it, it should say X mm somewhere. For example, the one I have is 58mm so a 55mm filter will not fit it. Also, make sure you don't confuse that number with the zoom length, which is probably also in mm (for example, 18-55mm).

This looks similar to the TD-T4i, but it has different part number. The only difference i can tell between the written specs is that the T4i has push button illumination. I just ordered this one and do not have it on hand yet to see if this one has push button as well, but that could be the only difference.

These two cameras are very similar. The advantages of the T3i: It has a flip-out screen, and a battery with a longer life than the SL1. But the SL1 is "newer" than the T3i, and therefore it has some tech advantages: (1) It is 30% lighter and smaller than the T3i (and this is a significant advantage when you carry the camera all day); (2) It provides continuous auto-focus for videos (which the T3i does not provide); (3) It has a "touch screen" for enlarging and shrinking shot playback; and (4) It offers in-camera HDR. Since technology is constantly improving the quality of cameras and sensors, I would opt for the "newer" vs. the "older" DSLR releases.

Hello, you're using the "36x" figure in a way it's not intended. It simply means that the mm of the longest telephoto end is 36 times more magnification than the mm of the widest telephoto end. Therefore, the difference between "36x" and "35x" would be relatively trivial. Regarding the star ratings, those are averaged opinions from users based on their satisfaction. Regarding putting a superzoom lens on a Rebel T2i, no such lens (36x range) exists at any price. It's only possible on the P500 and other point-and-shoot cameras because they have a much smaller sensor than the T2i and other DSLR cameras. However, you can buy an 18-200mm zoom for the T2i, which works out to about 11x zoom range.

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 ...
