Canon says that the new flagship Rebel is the first of the company's cameras to feature a sensor-based hybrid AF system that allows for continuous autofocus while recording video

The T4i has a sensitivity range of ISO100 - 12800 (expanded up to ISO25600 in H mode for more extreme low lighting conditions without needing to use the built-in pop-up flash)

The new Rebel T4i is the first entry-level EOS camera to benefit from the company's DIGIC 5 Image Processor, offering 14-bit image processing for advanced color rendition and greater speed/responsiveness

Article Summary

At face value, all the headline-grabbing features of Canon's new EOS Rebel T4i DSLR Camera (EOS 650D in Europe) look identical to those of the T3i (EOS 600D) before it, but not everything is at it first appears. Canon says that the new flagship Rebel model is its most consumer-friendly DSLR to date, and is the first of the company's cameras to feature a sensor-based hybrid AF system that allows for continuous autofocus while recording video. It also benefits from the latest DIGIC 5 Image Processor that's six times faster than its predecessor, and a high resolution multi-touch display panel with touch focus and shutter operation.
