Canon EOS 650D/Rebel T4i Review. A Good Buy?

Hmmmmm. Looks like Canon has a new member in the family. I think it's about time that I will try my reviewing skills to improve my writings in blogging. Please let me know what you think of this blogpost. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for reading my blog. ^^ Let's get back to serious mode. Serious? :P

Canon EOS 650D - Introduction

Canon has introduced a new member in it's line-up for 2012 entry-level DSLR which is the all-new exciting Canon EOS 650D following after it's little brother 600D. The 650D, boasting with a new CMOS 18 million pixel sensor, is packed with cool new features, including a multi-touch touchscreen that makes navigating picture a breeze. Canon decided to add the camera with a full high-definition video. To be honest, It's a serious package for beginner SLR users where they can choose to have a balance in video shooting or just focus on photography.

Canon EOS 650D In-Depth

This camera is the first dslr which have the touchscreen feature on it's lcd screen which is quite lovable as they are trying to mimic the smart-phone features. Although the more pro photographer's might oppose this feature, but I'm sure that the next generation of semi-pro to pro dslr might have this feature. That depends on the market demand as well. From a marketing point, they did quite well by choosing to put the touchscreen feature as the camera's selling key-point. Canon claims that the 18 million pixels is the new CMOS Sensor which has the capability in both contrast and phase detection auto-focusing system when in the live-view video mode. That is something to look forward to as this is the first Canon DSLR that has this feature.

Articulated Screen and Multi-Touch Screen

It comes with the articulated folding and multi-touch screen, the 650D sit comfortably as the most advanced screen of any DSLR period. The multi-touch gesture screen makes it easier to view photos when you want to view the pictures you've taken. Like a smartphone, you can slide to navigate to the next picture, pinch in and out of the picture to zoom in and zoom the picture, and touch the screen to autofocus the frame when in live-view mode. That's what this camera is all about, making photography easier for the beginners. But I'm not sure about the sensitivity of the screen yet whether it delivers the same smooth and sensitive feel as a smartphone would feels like.

Multi-touch screen gesture. Is this what you really want?

I'm sure there's alot of debate between the canon and the nikon users. Even among the Canon user's can have a debate about whether the multi-touch screen gesture is a good feature or not. Let me know what you think about it. :)
