Amazing Capture and Processing Power
18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor
The EOS Rebel T4i features Canon’s amazing 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. Perfect for enlargements or for cropping detailed portions of the composition, the EOS Rebel T4i’s sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range. This first-class sensor features many of the same new technologies used by professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel’s light-gathering efficiency and has center pixels that aid in the EOS Rebel T4i’s accurate AF performance. This APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm format).
14-bit A/D Conversion
With 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion, the EOS Rebel T4i captures and records images with remarkable gradations and detail in subtle tones and colors, resulting in more realistic and detailed images. By recording up to 16,384 colors per channel the EOS Rebel T4i ensures that the fine detail found in subjects like foliage, sky and water are preserved and recorded with a tremendous level of accuracy, ensuring gorgeous results.
ISO 100–12800 and expandable to 25600 in H mode
Thanks to its new DIGIC 5 Image Processor, the EOS Rebel T4i features an expanded ISO range of ISO 100–12800 (expandable to 25600 in H mode) that makes shooting possible in situations previously unthinkable without flash. The Rebel T4i, with the DIGIC 5 Image Processor’s remarkable noise-reduction technology sets a new standard for Rebel cameras and low-light photography. Along with one of Canon’s EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer, the EOS Rebel T4i can record beautiful images even when light sources are scarce.
DIGIC 5 Image Processor
The Rebel T4i is the first Rebel to feature Canon’s DIGIC 5 Image Processor. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor works with the camera’s CMOS sensor to deliver images with incredible detail in more situations, without the need for artificial light sources. With the power of the DIGIC 5 Image Processor the Rebel T4i can achieve higher ISO sensitivity, can shoot up to 5.0 fps continuously and can even perform advanced functions like HDR Backlight Control, art filters, lens correction and much more. The brilliant “brain” of the camera, this imaging engine supercharges every facet of still and moving image capture.
The Fastest Rebel Yet!
High-speed continuous shooting
A Rebel first, the EOS Rebel T4i can shoot up to 5.0 frames per second, continuously. Thanks to improvements in the shutter mechanism, the mirror drive and the camera’s sensor, the EOS Rebel T4i is ready for action; whether capturing that perfect expression, the game’s winning goal, or the bride walking down the aisle, the EOS Rebel T4i delivers the speed and performance to guarantee results.
Enhanced AF Systems Tailored for Perfect Stills and Video
Improved autofocus performance and new Hybrid CMOS AF
The EOS Rebel T4i is equipped with AF features that ensure speedy, accurate and continuous AF every time. When shooting through the viewfinder, the EOS Rebel T4i has improved autofocus with a new 9-point, all cross-type AF system (including high-precision dual-cross f/2.8 center point) for accurate focus whether the camera is oriented in portrait or landscape position. A new AI Servo AF system achieves and maintains consistent focus with an exceptional degree of reliability.
The EOS Rebel T4i features Canon’s amazing new Hybrid CMOS AF System, perfect for shooting photos and video in Live View. This new system combines two distinct AF technologies, phase and contrast detection AF, for speedier and more accurate focus. These complementary focusing systems are aided by pixels on the camera’s CMOS sensor that assist in predicting subject location; therefore making continuous focus tracking quick and accurate in video recording while enhancing focusing speed.
True HD Performance, Rebel Simplicity
Enhanced EOS Full HD Movie Mode with Movie Servo AF
The EOS Rebel T4i offers easy to use, professional video capture without compromise. Capable of shooting in a number of recording sizes and frame rates the Rebel T4i sets a whole new standard for performance, quality and simplicity. The Rebel T4i enables easy manual control of exposure, focus and Live View features, even in-camera editing! New Movie Servo AF allows continuous autofocus tracking of moving subjects while recording video. When shooting video with one of Canon’s new STM lenses, Movie Servo AF takes advantage of the lens’ stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous AF. With an STM lens attached, the EOS Rebel T4i sets a new standard for SLR moviemaking performance!

Built-in stereo microphone, manual audio level adjustment
The EOS Rebel T4i has an internal stereo microphone for improved audio capture and a wind filter feature to reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors. Sound recording levels can be manually (up to 64 different levels) or automatically controlled. A built-in attenuator is also provided to reduce audio clipping. For more advanced audio recording, the Rebel T4i is compatible with many third-party electret condenser microphones with a 3.5mm diameter plug.
Video Snapshot
With the Video Snapshot feature, the EOS Rebel T4i DSLR can capture short video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) then combine them automatically into one video file as a snapshot or highlights “album.†With no editing needed after shooting, the compiled video is perfect for sharing online or displaying directly on an HDTV via the camera’s HDMI port. Additionally, stills can be recorded during video shooting simply by pressing the camera’s shutter button. During playback, video clips in an album can now be reordered or deleted.
Sharp and Clear, with Tactile Controls
New Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II with multi-touch operation and Touch AF
The EOS Rebel T4i comes with a newly engineered, Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II. Using the same capacitive technology as today’s popular mobile devices, this new screen is touch-sensitive and delivers intuitive touch panel operation. Two finger touch gestures (multi-touch) can be used for zooming or changing images, menu and quick control settings can be accessed, and focus point and shutter release can be activated with the touch of a fingertip. Displaying fine detail (at approximately 1.04 million dots), this screen is perfect for composing and reviewing images. Thanks to a new, solid construction between the monitor’s resin-coated cover and the liquid crystal display, reflections are minimized, and the display can be viewed, without glare, from any number of angles. The LCD’s surface is treated with a smudge-resistant coating to minimize fingerprints and maintain a bright, clear image display.
Complex Functions Made Simple
Scene Intelligent Auto mode
The EOS Rebel T4i features an enhanced Scene Intelligent Auto mode that incorporates a number of Canon technologies to deliver the best possible exposure. Joining Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure, Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast, even whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod, and then chooses the exposure and enhancements that bring out the best in any scene or situation.
New Effects for Dramatic and Gorgeous Results
Handheld Night Scene mode
Accessible right on the EOS Rebel T4i’s Mode Dial, Handheld Night Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and detailed dark areas, delivering results previously impossible without the use of a tripod. By shooting and combining four consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast enough to avoid camera shake, the EOS Rebel T4i’s Handheld Night Scene mode makes dramatic nighttime photography simple.
HDR Backlight Control mode
The EOS Rebel T4i’s HDR Backlight Control mode ensures that backlit subjects are not recorded too dark. By shooting three consecutive shots at different exposures (underexposed, correctly exposed and overexposed) and then combining the images, the final result maintains detail in both the shadow and highlight areas, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed.
Seven Creative Filters, plus new Art Bold Effect and Water Painting Effect
To add to the fun and creative possibilities available with the EOS Rebel T4i, seven different creative filters that can dramatically alter the mood and visual effect of any particular scene. Creative Filters include Grainy Black and White, Soft Focus, Fish-eye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature Effect and new filters, Art Bold Effect (makes the photos look like an oil painting, with subjects appearing three-dimensional), and Water Painting Effect (photos are altered to look like a water-colored painting). Since the filters can be applied to the image after shooting, it’s easy to try several effects on the same shot.
Cleaner Images, Even at High ISO
Multi Shot Noise Reduction
To enhance its already admirable high ISO shooting capabilities, the EOS Rebel T4i features an intelligent Multi Shot Noise Reduction tool that reduces noise even further than the camera’s sensor and the DIGIC 5 Image Processor alone. With Multi Shot Noise Reduction activated, the camera takes four consecutive shots, merges and aligns them. This eliminates more noise than the Rebel’s traditional Noise Reduction filter, with little or no apparent resolution loss. Moving subjects are even optimized to minimize subject blur! Thanks to this clever new feature, high ISO shooting has never looked better.
Flexible and Reliable Recording
Compatibility with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, including new Ultra High Speed cards
The EOS Rebel T4i uses popular SD, SDHC, SDXC and is even compatible with the newest Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) memory cards. Compact and available in large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the EOS Rebel T4i’s compact design.
Additionally, the EOS Rebel T4i is compatible with Eye-Fi∗ SD cards, which are outfitted with a Wi-Fi® transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and an internal antenna for wireless, high-speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel T4i can display the Eye-Fi’s connection status and error notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera.
∗Canon cameras are not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions, including wireless transfer. In case of an issue with the Eye-Fi card, please consult with the card manufacturer. The use of Eye-Fi cards may not be available outside the United States and Canada; please contact the card manufacturer for territory availability.
A Comprehensive System of Optics Perfect For Video and Stills
Compatible with EF and EF-S lenses
The EOS Rebel T4i is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses and including the new STM series optimized for video shooting. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like Canon’s Image Stabilizer technology help to minimize the effect of camera shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light; STM lenses even feature a stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous autofocus while capturing video. With an array of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS Rebel T4i.
More Features for Increased Versatility
Lens Aberration Correction
The EOS Rebel T4i features lens correction tools that compensate for lens characteristics that can affect overall image quality. The EOS Rebel T4i’s lens peripheral illumination correction feature corrects light falloff in the corner of the image according to the characteristics of the lens being used. It even has correction data for a number of popular lenses stored in its memory. With the EOS Rebel T4i’s new chromatic aberration correction tool, distracting color fringing can be corrected at the time of shooting.
Feature Guide
To help explain the specific function of features found on the EOS Rebel T4i, the feature guide displays a simple description helpful in determining the applicability for the situation at hand. It is displayed in each shooting mode, during mode dial operations, and for Quick Control screen functions. It appears automatically when a function is selected—a lifesaver when trying to determine the best mode or function for the next picture. The feature guide works automatically by default, and can be disabled easily through the camera’s menu.
GPS Compatible
With the optional GPS Receiver GP-E2 attached to the hot shoe or the digital terminal, the EOS Rebel T4i can record location, including latitude, longitude and altitude, plus can track the trajectory of movement with its logging function. An electric compass records the camera’s orientation during each shot, and world time information is recorded through GPS syncing.
JPEG Resizing
To create images suitable for sharing by email or online, the EOS Rebel T4i can resize JPEG files, in camera, of varying pixels (aspect ratio cannot be changed, only the image size can be decreased) while leaving the original image untouched.
Photobook Set-up
Photographers can share their images in book form with the EOS Rebel T4i’s convenient Photobook Set-up feature. Users can easily choose specific images, images in a folder and even all images, then specify their sequence and layout. The results can be printed in book form, with ease.
Image Rating
To help organize images recorded to the camera’s storage, the EOS Rebel T4i makes it simple to rate individual images from one star to five. Therefore, image browsing, printing and slide shows can be based upon those ratings.

So far I have used this to take about 1,000 pics. It is amazing. The dial on the top allows you to select many generic settings that will make all the adjustments for you and give you reasonable pics. I say reasonable like I'm a pro, not the case. I'm an leaning as I go with this. Once you get the hang of that you can switch to more advanced settings. I have played with this some and they are easy to change and do change back when going back to the auto modes. (thank goodness for that)
Compared to other cameras in its class I cannot say how it measures up. All I know is Nikon and Canon are the best. I compared features for months before deciding to go with this one. It came in just under my budget and had the features I was looking for. Plus the price dropped upon the announcement of the T5i. The T5i has better Video I think.
The 5 frames a second is spectacular. I have taken photos of my son at base ball games and it freezes the ball to the point where you can see the colors of the letters and stitching on the ball. I think if I get better at the focus you will be able to read the lettering. But I'm zoomed in with the stock lens so this may affect shutter speed.
I also purchased a 75-300mm lens and it is impressive. I went the cheap route and did not get the motion reduction one. I do not see that taking pictures in good lighting that I will need it, or I can just prop it up on a tripod.
I cannot express how much I "enjoy" taking photos now over it being a chore with point and shoot cameras. This is what photography should be. The Canon T4i makes taking photos easy and although I am new to these type of cameras I feel like a pro and my pictures are turning out like I want them to for the first time.
Of all my electronic purchases including TV's, tuners, keyboards, etc, etc this is the one item I can honestly say I am most proud of.
As a side note: If you keep a couple different lenses in your bag, you will have people asking if you can take their kids senior pics, prom date photos, blah blah blah. I may take up a few offers to off set the payments of this thing. But could not be happier with money well spent.
Yes, you can use the camera as a point-and-shoot in auto mode, but why pay all this money to use it as a fully automatic camera? The fun . . . and the challenge . . . is to play with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. But, learning how to do so is, simultaneously, a challenge, a process, and where the fun and results are.
The camera gives you several ways to do virtually anything -- and that can get confusing. Where do I find this? What is the point of my doing this or that? How do I find out?
My first and best suggestion is an excellent course from the Great Courses ([...]) called "Fundamentals of Photography" by National Geographic photograpgher Joel Santore. It is NOT a course in the Canon Rebel T4i, but it IS a course that will explain aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, composition, and a lot about digital cameras. Whatever he covers is doable with the Rebel T4i. And, he'll have you WANTING to do it. The only question is, "How?" The course is frequently on sale and should be bought only when it is on sale since the "regular" price is considerably higher and unnecessary. On sale, the course goes for around $60.
That's where the second reference comes in, Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D For Dummies by Julie Adair King. You can get it for about $16 from Amazon.
Sartore's course will provide knowledge, motivation, and a clear idea of what you might try. The King book will help you fill in the gaps on how, specifically, do you do it with the Canon.
Some random notes:
o Sartore's course is, IMHO, the best by far of the Great Course offerings (although some of the music courses by Robert Greenberg are pretty good). He gives "homework" assignments to help develop you as a photographer. They're worth actually doing!
o Those whose prior experience with lower-priced digital cameras had them disappointed because of the slow focusing and shooting speeds, can rest easy. This camera focuses quickly and its burst speed is remarkable, allowing you to take a barrage of pictures in very rapid order. Those people who you find attractive but not photogenic will now take a good picture because, by taking several pictures rapidly, you'll catch those micro expressions which account for their attractiveness. (Everyone is photogenic if you take enough pictures of them. And, since there is no cost to taking lots of pictures, why not?)
o Aperture, the size of the opening through which a picture is taken, determines the depth of field (i.e., whether the background is clear or not). Learn to use it to take pictures that blur the background when the subject is more important and to provide 3-D effects. (The more the background is blurred, the more the subject seems to leap off the page ... or canvas if you have the picture printed out on canvas and blown up.)
o Shutter speed -- the faster the shutter speed, the more an action is frozen rather than blurred. At the higher speeds, a moving fan will appear to be a picture of a stopped fan or a kicked football will appear frozen in the air. At the lower speeds, more light is admitted and a tripod may be necessary.
o ISO speed. With modern cameras, one can shoot at night without a flash if the ISO speed is set high enough. The downside? The shots may appear grainier.
And there is the photographer's trio -- smaller apertures and faster shutter speeds, which are sometimes desired, admit less light. So, one has to decide whether to use a flash or a higher ISO (film or memory sensitivity to light). Or, if one doesn't use fully manual mode, one can pick a setting that allows you to take control of any one of the Big 3 and allow the camera to take care of the other 2 -- which is, in fact, what I usually opt to do.
==================================================================
The camera is highly capable and flexible. Go with a high speed, high capacity memory card to avoid handcuffing it. Then, get out of automatic mode and explore it.
NOTE: I know. I know. This review is useless for those who know photography and cameras well. But, you're not my audience. I'm writing for those who want to take the next step to assist in their finding an approach to learning more about this camera.
I haven't said a lot about the camera itself, per se, other than that it's capable and flexible. But, others have covered its capabilities far better than I can. I'm just telling the other tyros who are considering stepping up that the water is fine and where to get their swimming lessons.
I feared that I had bought too much camera but have been glad to find that the camera is like Excel. You can use it immediately and get some fine results. But, when ready, you can use it at far deeper levels and will find that whatever you want to do with it you can do with it . . . if you dig a little deeper to learn more of its capabilities. You won't outgrow it, but you can certainly grow as a photographer with it.
