T3 street price is $599. T2i is another alternative - it's a T3i without the fold-out LCD display. I tried the T3 & upgraded to the T3i. T3i street price is $899. I think the T2i street price is $799.

Did any of you read this review? http://www.digitalreview.ca/content/Nikon-D5000-D90-Compared-to-Canon-Rebel-T1i-500D.shtmlD5000 seems to be an easy pick. I am now tossing my coin between D90 and D5000.

The T4i is worth it. The new processor, plus the touch screen and video recording time of up to 29:59 minutes are amazing. My advice is if you can afford it, make sure to buy it with the 18-135mm STM lens instead of the 18-55mm non STM. Matched with that lens this camera can effectively compete with some of the more expensive ones. I would get this instead of the T3i

I'm using a T2 but according to Canon the T2 and T3 sensors are the same. Limited range, watch out for camera position in the sun as full sun on the cameras sensor seems to further limit the range. Love it just because sometimes there is nobody around to ask to take that picture of your family or group.

Thanks Michael for sharing your experience. I myself ended up buying a 60d with 18-135 lens kit about a week ago from amazon and I am very happy both with the body as well as the Lens. I had a T2i with 18-55mm before this purchase, and I am not a pro but so far i haven't seen any degradation on the image quality between the two lenses. I like the 18-135 for its decent quality and a very practical zoom range. Not to mention that 60D is a far better body than T2i.

If I had a choice of the 70D or the T4i, I would definitely get the 70D. It is a much better camera. As a beginner, upgrading to a D-SLR is a big step with a learning curve, but the 70D is user friendly and a better quality camera than the Rebels. I bought it on sale during the holidays with the 18-135mm lens kit for little more than the Rebel and am loving it! If you have the choice, go with the 70D. I have had a Rebel T1i for 5 years now, and decided that I wanted a nicer camera. This camera shoots and feels like a real camera!

I recommend the Canon A720IS !!!!! My pet pictures are breathtaking (IMO) and I'll put a couple up to prove it! (If I can figure out how)

I use a fuji xpro 1 which is much smaller than the canon t3i. I think it will be too tight for your camera.

Thank you for your help. I think I will skip over the XS and try a more current model. My classes do not start till January so I do have time to do more research on the newer models. Looking over the specs I really like the 50D model, but it's out of my price range. Maybe I will get lucky and a refurbished one will show up in my price range. If no,t I might go for the T1 or T2.Thank you again for your help.

Not sure about the t1i. .. but I have the t3i and it works fine because it fits the lens. ..I have 2 lenses and it works fine with both. .. hope this helps. :)

The monopod is a great tool!!! I have no Canon T1i, but the monopod seems to have a standarized connection for standard cameras!hope this helps.

It's really a matter of personal preference and what you plan to do with it. Both are great cameras and I'm sure you will be happy with either. After doing an exhaustive amount of research I selected the T5i because I plan on shooting stills and videos. The Canon out performs Nikon slightly in the video category, while Nikon has a slight advantage in low light shooting stills. If you do decide to go with the T5i I strongly recommend that you seek out "camerarec toby" on you tube. He has fantastic tips and training videos on the T5i that are free and yet invaluable. That being said I firmly believe that either camera will amaze you with their features and abilities.

I would argue that paying the little extra money for the T4i is completely worth it. It has a newer faster processor and a new touch screen that makes navigating the controls a breeze! I owned the T2i for two years and upgraded to the T4i and it has been fantastic. It's important to get a good lens to really show what your camera can do. I recommend the Tamron 28-75 2.8 lens. It's an overall pretty awesome lens. that's just a side note though. Hope this helps!

If they're the same price then get the T5i. It has a couple of new features. The T4i has been discontinued so is no longer subject to Canon's pricing policies.

Almost nothing. Put it this way: if you found them for sale at the same price then might as well get the T5i. The T5i MSRP is slightly lower than what the *original* MSRP for a similar kit was for the T4i, but we all know that you don't pay MSRP. Even here on Amazon a nice package in my cart shows the T4i to be nearly $200 cheaper than the T5i. That's because of the Canon discount that ends (this time) March 30th (it has been extended several time since November 2011). Essentially, they are clearing out the T4i and the Canon lineup will continue to have T3i and T5i, but no more T4i. Here's the opening paragraph from CNET's review, which highlights the only actual differences between the two models: "No, your eyes aren't deceiving you: the only significant difference between the now-discontinued Canon EOS Rebel T4i and its replacement, the T5i, is the price and the kit lens options. There are some small enhancements, including a new finish; 360-degree rotation mode dial plus the addition of scene mode; a return of digital zoom during movie recording (which had disappeared in the T4i "upgrade" from the T3i); and real-time preview of creative filters in Live View. But ultimately, it's the same camera." -CNET

Hi Michael! I have a Canon T1i. So far, I have the standard lens that comes with the camera, a marco and 300 mm telephoto. I've done some portraits that turned out great, but I'd love to do more wide open spaces/landscapes.

I'm trying to decide whether to go with either the 800IS, 850IS, or the Sony DSC-T100. I guess pic quality is the most important, and I usually trust Canon images above all others in this class....but I really love the size and design of the Sony, especially the sliding lens cover which powers it up. Anyone have an opinion?
