I think this is pretty good compared to Nikon 3200. Yes, Nikon's resolution opens a new can of whoop-ass on Canon, but I see a lot of nice features of this camera that make it very interesting. If you can get usable images at 6400 ISO, with this 5fps shooting and touch screen LCD, and pentaprism viewfinder, I see this is the most significant upgrade to a rebel line in a long time.

Aside from the sensor, the T4i trumps the D3200 (at least on paper). Since the T3i is not pitted against the D3100 but the D5100, perhaps if a D5200 comes out then we'd have a better comparison against the T4i. Nikon should come out with a better model out soon!

PS If indeed true, the pentaprism (also include the touchscreen) are welcome additions to its class. Hopefully it won't be priced as much too!

nice! when is this coming out?

Is that a stereo mic on top?

EDIT: What are the new modes?

9 cross type AF points is a big jump (I forget if the 600D has them too I've not looked at rebel features in a long while). But 9 cross type points is a great thing in an entry level body.

I am - however - very sad to see touchscreen tech in cameras. It's something I feel is just - well - I'm totally open to new ways and controls but I just feel I don't want my nose controlling the camera the whole time.



Oh and hybrid AF is something that gives it a cut above my 7D! (oh canon why won't thee use Firmwire updates to improve existing products!)

Lots of rumors on when it is coming...someone here said the other day they think it will be announced tomorrow, June 8th. I'm going to hang out for the announcement for maybe one more week and if it isn't out by then, then I'm getting a T3i. I'm most curious about the Digic 5 processing, will it enhance low light performance significantly? The touch screen sounds cool. I like the idea of the 18-135 lens, but wonder how good it'll really be. And of course, what's the street price going to be on this?

 

[sovietdoc]

I am not going to guess on a time frame, but I think it is inevitable that DSLRs will no longer have a mirror, and will have touch screen controls.
I dont think they will only have touch screen controls, but I am sure the OLED screens will have touch enabled.

And eventually EVIL's and DSLR's will merge into one.

I think the most important thing they need now is smooth AF for video mode. Automatic smooth focus and focal length changes. Of course, for that you'll need another motor in the lens to power focal length changes.

I think the DSLR mirror will remain for a while yet. Not only has the name years of strong marketing backing behind it, but also video viewfinders are still not quite ready for replacing the mirror system - plus one has concerns over battery life as well. I do think it is the future, but not quite yet.

 

[sovietdoc]

Yes, that's what I am saying.

As expected it has been announced:

Canon Rebel T4i/650D EF-S 18-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM & EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Officially Announced « Canon Rumors

I am still leaning towards the D5100 or D7000 update though, time will tell if I choose this or go for Nikon.

9 cross type AF points is a big jump (I forget if the 600D has them too I've not looked at rebel features in a long while).

600D has 9 as well.
