Wish i could…
+Jeff Sullivan Have you compared this camera with the Nikon D7100???
wow, beautifull
Not yet +Fco. Javier Amaya. I've used the D7000 and the T2i, and while it was impressive for a camera in its class, I have to say I'm spoiled by the low noise for full frame sensors.
The Nikon D7100 is more of a mid-range crop sensor DSLR, and the Canon 70D, rumored to be released soon (possibly as early as tomorrow) will most likely be the closest competitor.
I've used the Nikon D600 and saw the Canon 6D in action last week. The D600 experienced a lot of noise and dead pixels in long exposure night shots, and I've seen reviews (such as a direct comparison by Ken Rockwell) which give the 6D an edge in overall color rendition.
I've also seen some issues with the D800 with regards to thermal banding in long exposure night shots as well as noise and dead pixels if you try to do star trails in a single exposure (such as 2 hours). That said, most photographers can do well with virtually any of the latest DSLRs under most normal shooting conditions. It's the boundary conditions, with minimal light and really long operating times, when the sensors show more noise and start to show artifacts from sensor heat in the resulting images. (Begin an avid night photographer, that's what I tend to pay a fair amount of attention to, but not everyone has the same needs.)
Thanks for sharing +Jeff Sullivan .. I'm just a beginer in photography, and right now using a Nikon D3100 but considering to upgrade to the D7100…
I want one
What is type T5i?. (?). it's not subtype from EOS 5D or others?
Nkon D3000 +Jeff Sullivan
My little aged Optio is heartbroken and feeling a little puny.
I have s T3. Really great camera. Like the weight and feel.
Thanks, but no. I'm a Nikon guy. 🙂
nice camerrrrrrrra
The D5200 and T5i are in the same class.. (Upper entry level). D7000/D7100 is considered midrange along with the 60D. D300s and 7D are considered upper midrange/pro
The T5i is called 700D outside US, I think, at least in Japan and Europe.
i have just one photo wiith canon and it's horrible
My photos are nearly 100% Canon +Edona Ademi, and they're not all horrible, so I would propose that the Canon brand and its entire line of cameras can't be characterized by your experience with one photo.
I've written blog posts on the odd question I sometimes get in response to my photos:
What Camera Do You Use?
http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2013/03/07/what-camera-do-you-use/
Photography is a creative act, like cooking. The camera doesn't determine the result any more than a pan determines how well cooked a meal is, or how good it tastes.
To consistently get really good results from film cameras, a darkroom was required. To consistently get really good results from digital cameras, post-processing in software such as Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop is required.
Of course there is no need to do that, but if you don't post-process photographs, expect the result to be like going to the freezer section of a grocery store and expecting to pop something you buy there into a microwave and have it magically taste like food.
Both frozen food and straight-out-of-camera photography are acceptable to many people, and there's nothing wrong with that, but there's a whole lot more available in both cooking and photography for anyone who gets curious enough to learn more about the process.
For photography, I've posted a lot of tutorials on various techniques to improve results: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/?s=technique+tips&submit=Search
I was asked whether the T5i or 60D would make a better purchase, now that the 60D can be purchased with an 18-200mm lens for as little as $1099. The answer depends upon what subjects and material you want to shoot. There are actually three competing Canon body sizes in the APS-C format, with the T5i, 60D and 7D being the choices today.
Here's a good discussion of the features available in those three body sizes: http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-eos-60d-body/4864-6501_7-34157106.html
The 7D is the top of the line for still images with a fast frame rate for things like shooting sports, but the 60D has some advantages for video, it's about $500 less than the 7D with a mid-range lens:

To make a decision even more difficult, the Canon 60D is about to be replaced by a new Canon 70D, possibly as soon as next month:
http://www.canonrumors.com/category/photography/canon-70d/
Even if you still want to buy the 60D, its price will probably come down when the 70D is announced, and a lot of used 60D cameras will come on the market as well.
Then a new 7D Mark II will come out:
http://www.canonrumors.com/2013/02/eos-70d-is-coming-the-future-of-pro-aps-c-is-unknown/
Of course its price will be high, and if you'd consider $2000 for a camera body or $2700 with a good lens, a full frame sensor camera like the Canon 6D is a leader in its class, and the new Nikon D600 is an excellent choice as well. THe key feature of full format sensor cameras is much better low light, high ISO performance, which is good for both night shooting and for shooting indoor events such as concerts or weddings.
So for small size the T5i is great, for a much better viewfinder and more control directly using dials on the camera without having to go through menus the 60D may be better, for even more speed and even better viewfinder the 7D is currently the top of the line (with some sacrifice in video options compared to the 60D). The 60D is a good compromise, but it might be worth waiting a month to see if how the new 70D upgrades that spot in the Canon line.
If you might want to get into night photography or commercial shooting of indoor events such as weddings, you'll probably eventually end up with a full frame sensor model such as the Canon 6D or Nikon D600, and while they cost more to get into at first, you can save the $1000-2000 you might have spent on an APS-C sensor model plus dedicated APS-C format lenses that you can't transfer to a full frame model later.
My YouTube time-lapse videos show you what you can do at night with a full frame sensor camera, usually shooting 30 second exposures at ISO 6400 with an ultra-wide 16mm f.2.8 lens:
Perseid Meteor Shower – "While The Sun Was Sleeping" by Life Audience
The closest you can come to that for APS-C cameras is to use the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens, but I don't know what its quality is.
good camera comparison… another feature not to sleep on is the micro-focus adjustments. The 7D is the only APS-C model with this feature.
