With a shooting rate that places it among the better performers in its class, the 650D becomes a much more viable option than previous Rebel models for those looking to capture recreational sports and action shots in JPEG-only mode.

I had a G12, when I want to use some creative filter, I have to put on the filter first and then take the pics, but for T4i, you can edit it ANYTIME!

And by doing so in such a comprehensive and well-implemented fashion, the 650D provides a substantially improved shooting experience, placing it well ahead of its DSLR peers with regard to live view operation.

Alongside the EOS 650D, Canon has introduced the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens.

The occurrence of CA varies of course from lens to lens, but it has been our experience in shooting with the 650D's kit zooms that CA occurs often enough in high contrast scenes - especially at their wider focal lengths - that it's generally worth enabling the automated correction except where you anticipate shooting bursts in continuous drive mode.

If you’re buying the Canon EOS 650D with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit zoom, be aware that some softness is noticeable at either end of the focal range particularly when used at its widest apertures.

The 650D's ISO button has been shifted to the left, filling the absence of the DISP button of previous models, made unnecessary now that the 650D has an eye-sensor to automatically turn off the LCD when you look through the viewfinder.

The 650D's viewfinder displays basic shooting information such as shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation and ISO, alongside AE lock status and flash information.

One thing I love about the T4i (and previous Rebels) is that you get direct button access to the most common settings (e.g. ISO, white balance, focus area).

The T4i simply isn't a sports camera in raw unless you're judicious with your bursts.

The EOS 650D adds an extra stop of ISO sensitivity compared to its predecessor, the EOS 600D, with in-camera noise reduction settings that have been tweaked sightly, as you can see on the noise performance page of this review.

For a nonmoving subject but with center-point AF active, the T4i clocks about 5.4fps on average for JPEGs and 5fps for raw (once you've exceeded the 6-frame buffer limitation for raw).

I spent an entire vacation using the T1i.

The T1i is a lot smaller and lighter than the 7D, which was important for me because I planned to take it while backpacking in the Sierra Nevadas.

I have 3 lens from my T1i, 18-55mm kit, 18-200mm travel and 10-22mm super wide angle so 18-55mm+55-300mm is not my choice of lens (not STM too).
