Canon T4i (650D)

[rexbobcat]

I'm excited for the hybrid video AF.
It's not the best, but as long as it works to an extent I'll be happy.

With Sony already making sensors for other companies do you think others will start to use the translucent mirror design Sony has in thier cameras?

I don't think one should upgrade their 600D to 650D

Well I'm not, and I don't think they're targeting people with 600Ds

yep ur right. Why does someone buy the 650D and not the 60D. In my eyes the 60D is much better.

The 5D III is also better, but they're more expensive than the 650D

You went into a whole different argument here boy. The price of the 650 is going to be very close to the 60.

Oh sorry, I didn't see the prices until after that lat post. I was expecting about $750 for the T4i, not $850. Especially considering the 60D's price will drop after the release of the 70D.

"Availability

The EOS Rebel T4i Digital SLR camera will be available at the end of June for an estimated retail price of $849.99 for the body alone; $949.99 bundled with an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens kit and a Movie Kit bundle for $1199.00 with the new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens."

Oh well, that puts it out of my price range. T3I it is.

Timing is everything. Unfortunately I bought a T3I Wednesday. Thankfully the store has a seven day exchange policy.

I am still a new photographer, would my thinking be correct to go with the latest technology?

Not for an extra $200.

I truly appreciate the advice, especially since it looks like you use a T3I, but isn't basing the decision on price alone a little vague? If I understand you correctly, the upgraded features on the new camera are not worth $200? What value would you put on the new features? Regardless, I will be returning the camera as I am sure the price on the T3I will drop once the new camera becomes available.

5D III doesnt have touch controls or a swivel LCD screen. 5D III can't continuously AF on any given point while shooting a movie (maybe I just didn't read the manual well enough but I never figured it out)

What is it about the 60D that makes it so much better than the 650D? A quick look at the specs and other than a couple frames faster per second and a couple other small differences there's nothing that seems to separate it greatly from the 650D?

The whole construction is different on the two cameras - for example, there is a screen ontop of the 60D which shows you camera settings.
