Canon EOS Rebel T5i Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

I loved my Canon Xsi/450D but it gave up the ghost at Iguacu Falls, Brazil after 5 years of excellent service. The T5i may not be much of an upgrade from the T4i, but it certainly seems every bit as good as my Xsi was. I particularly like the touch screen, the much higher ISO capabilities, which will come in handy in low-light conditions, and the more attractive and durable body coating. So far, I\'ve not looked at the user\'s manual in detail because the camera controls are similar enough to the Xsi\'s, but I have promised myself to do so soon. The actual field trials will take place in Spain, Portugal and Morocco next month. I will update this review after I get back.Update 1. 9/3/2013: This camera has a serious design flaw!I just returned from our 17-day tour of Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with a brief stopover in Gibraltar. While this latest EOS Rebel has a lot of features to commend it, such as its very useful touchscreen, higher available ISO settings, and separate movie mode, I discovered a serious design flaw which has just caused me to lower my overall rating to 3 stars. The new 5Ti\'s power switch is located just below the mode dial on the right top of the camera body. During our trip, I had preset 3 different shooting modes: aperture-priority with a preset aperture at f:3.5 for low-light situations, shutter speed priority at 1/640 sec for shots from a moving vehicle, and P for general photography using high ISO setting for very dimly-lit cathedrals, palaces, and caverns, as well as high shutter speeds for fast-moving subjects. On numerous occasions, when turning the power switch on or off, I also inadvertently and unknowingly moved the mode dial at the same time. This caused an entire series of grossly over- and underexposed images that could not be adequately corrected through Adobe Photoshop processing, thus causing me to have to discard those photos, some of which were unique and priceless. Canon should immediately separate the on-off switch from the mode dial to solve this very serious problem.Update 2. 01/03/2014: I have upgraded my overall rating of this camera to four stars, not because I have changed my mind about the poorly-conceived location of the power on/off switch below the mode dial, but rather because of the truly amazing image quality this camera body is capable of producing when, and only when, it is combined with a professional (or semi-professional) Canon lens. I just returned from another \"field\" trip, this one to Key West, Miami and the Florida Everglades, for which I had equipped myself with the Canon EF 24-105 mm F4L IS USM and EF 70-200 mm F4L IS USM lenses, principally to shoot photos of sunrises, sunsets and wildlife. I had also taken with me a \"standard\" Canon EF 70-300 mm F4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom lens for even longer-distance shots. The latter lens is often referred to as the \"hidden\" L lens because it incorporates one ultra-low dispersion glass element, and it has also produced excellent results mounted on the T5i. In order to be able to compare the image quality of these three lenses on a full-frame body with that produced by the same lenses on the cropped-frame EOS 5Ti, I took my EOS 6D body with me as well and shot similar scenes with both. All I can say is that, at full (100%) resolution, viewed in Canon Digital Photography Professional, I could not detect any noticeable difference in the crispness, quality, and pleasing overall appearance of the photos produced by the two camera bodies with these three lenses. Thus, the obvious conclusion is that even a relatively cheap, \"entry-level\" body like the Rebel T5i, coupled with a high-quality lens, is capable of yielding exceptional images. The real and tangible implication for me personally is that I probably will not replace the T5i with another crop-frame model, i.e., either the 70D or the 7D Mark II (if the latter is, in fact, produced and released)this year.
The camera is smaller and nicer than I expected. Picture quality is a lot better than I expected. but I am sure it is not as good as the \"pro\" models that cost 5 or 10 times as much as this camera did.It has a touchscreen on the back of the camera that flips out and makes it easier to compose a shot when you are holding it above your head or holding it at waist level. I really like the touchscreen because it makes it easier to change settings and to focus on the thing that you really want to focus on. The autofocus usually works fine and will do that for you, but on RARE occasion, it will focus on the wrong thing, so you can use the touchscreen to override the autofocus.The autofocus works fine, and is USUALLY pretty fast. Does this camera possess the world\'s fastest autofocus? NO, but it is not supposed to: it is a basic SLR camera that is meant for families or people starting out on digital photography.If you have to have the best picture quality that money can buy, or need the fastest camera that money can buy, then do not buy this camera. Buy one that costs a lot more money, and do your research. If you want a cheap camera that offers better picture quality than your smartphone, this would be a good choice, or maybe you should wait and get the Canon Rebel T6i, which is supposed to be announced later on this month.UPDATE: The Canon Rebel T6i and the Rebel T6s have recently been announced at the CP+ 2015 tradeshow. Both cameras look like they offer improvements over the Rebel T5i, particularly the Rebel T6s, which seems to be more of a \"prosumer\" than the T6i or the T5i.2nd UPDATE: The Canon Rebel T7i and the 77D have been announced by Canon and they are to replace the Rebel T6i and the T6s accordingly. By the looks of it, they are a significant improvement over the Rebel T6i and the T6s, as well as older Rebel cameras like this camera. I am looking forward to reading reviews of the new cameras to see if they are worth spending the money in order to upgrade to them.
My wife used to be a professional photographer, but 3 kids later she hasn\'t really touched her DSLR in years. Recently, the kids school has had her taking photos up there with their T3i. She has gone on and on about how she loves using it. So, for Christmas I got her the updated T5i.The nice thing with the Canons are their compatibility. My wife graduated with a degree in Photography, and back then we had a choice: Canon or Nikon. We went Canon because back then Canons had a much better reputation of maintaining compatibility with their accessories.Years later, that seems to still hold true. All the old EOS lenses we still moved perfectly from my wife\'s 10D to this. Even the SpeedLite she has seems to work perfectly. Back then, when shooting film, it made more sense to put your money into higher-quality lenses since the same film was going into the body regardless. Since digital is a little more like shooting slide film, and the quality of the camera body greatly influences the quality of the sensor and the post image processing, that\'s not so much the case anymore but it was back then.They did change out the battery, and it now uses SD cards instead of Compact Flash cards, but that\'s simply progress.I was debating on getting her the lower-end Pro model, but I ended up with this because, well, she really doesn\'t need a pro camera anymore. If she ever decides to go into business again, I can rest assured that most of the investments we have made will work on whatever the latest/greatest Canon is at the time. She really likes the large touch screen, and I like how Canon has gone to all pro-style function knobs at the top. I miss having a magnesium-alloy body, but my understanding is that Canon is going all-plastic on all their models moving forward, so I guess we all had better get used to it. The eye piece is also not quite as nice as the pro models, but it does offer the ability to adjust the focus some for those who wear glasses.
