This 18-megapixel, entry-level DSLR camera follows in the long, and respected, EOS Rebel tradition of providing simple, intuitive operation while still providing phenomenal image quality. Its powerful DIGIC 5 image processor provides high-speed, continuous shooting up to 5 fps, and its impressive ISO range from 100 to 12,800 (and expandable to 25,600) allows for outstanding performance in low-light situations.

The T4i’s new Hybrid CMOS sensor provides improved autofocusing that uses contrast detection to fine-tune focus, which offers faster and more certain focusing for live view and video shooting. This is also the first DSLR camera to feature touchscreen, which can be used to specify the point of focus and release the shutter.

Other impressive features on this dynamic camera include a 9-point AF system with additional accuracy with fast lenses, a flip-out 1.04m dot 3:2 LCD screen, 63-zone iFCL metering, a built-in stereo mic and compatibility with Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses.


From the Manufacturer:

The EOS Rebel T4i DSLR is built to make advanced photography simple and fun while delivering phenomenal image quality, high performance, and fast, intuitive operation. This EOS Rebel amps up the speed with the powerful DIGIC 5 Image Processor that helps make high-speed continuous shooting of up to 5 frames-per-second possible—great for capturing fast action. The camera's 18 Megapixel CMOS sensor ensures that every image is shot in superb, high resolution; and an extended ISO range of 100-12800 gives photographers the opportunities to take the Rebel T4i into more shooting situations than ever before. A 9-point all cross-type AF system (including a high-precision dual cross f/2.8 center point) delivers improved autofocus performance, and a new Hybrid CMOS AF System increases autofocus speed when shooting photos and video in Live View. For users interested in creating impressive videos, the Rebel T4i is ready to help you create your next masterpiece. Movie Servo AF provides continuous focus of moving subjects, so you never miss a moment. A built-in stereo microphone and manual audio level adjustment helps ensure that your audio will match the stunning quality of your video. The Rebel T4i also features a Vari-angle Touch Screen 3-inch Clear View LCD monitor II, which allows fast and intuitive camera operation. Add compatibility with Canon's proven EF and EF-S lenses and a slew of EOS accessories, the Rebel T4i is an incredibly versatile tool for creating the images and videos you envision.
