And Canon's Rebel cameras have been strong contenders for several years, offering quite a few different models, ranging from the original Digital Rebel back in 2003 to the Rebel T1i in 2009 to last year's Rebel T4i . Now Canon has released the EOS Rebel T5i, purportedly as an upgrade to the T4i.

Image quality is very high; Extremely fast performance in Viewfinder mode; Very fast start-up; Articulated; high-resolution LCD is nice feature for shooting with a tripod; Touchscreen LCD makes it easy to control camera for beginners; Ports included for both HDMI and microphone; Full HD video output...

Not enough improvements from Rebel T4i; Autofocus works too slowly in Live View mode; creating significant shutter lag; Although autofocus in video mode is improved from past Rebels; it's still slow; Autofocus illuminator lamp only works when the flash is engaged; Camera's on-screen menus should...

I was given the T5i as a gift from my family. I chose the T5i because of the features, such as the lenses and the adjustable shutter speeds. I am beyond impressed with the camera and the options that this camera has and can do. This camera is light and easy to use.

The powerful Canon EOS Rebel T5i doesn't offer a large number of improvements over last year's Rebel T4i, but if you have an older Canon Rebel DSLR camera, the T5i is going to give you a great set of features for the price.

Product is new, camera bag is even better than I expected. Additional review of camera and lenses to come once I get the battery charged and am able to fully test the camera out.

The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is essentially the same camera as its predecessor, and it's still a solid performer.

Fast to start and shoot; Sharp; articulated touch-screen LCD; Compact; Nearly silent video autofocus when used with STM lenses; 4fps shooting; Good image detail at high ISOs; Fast autofocus

Small pentamirror viewfinder; Very limited burst shooting in Raw mode; Video autofocus is choppy with non-STM lenses

If you're looking for your first digital SLR and are prepared to stump up what feels initially like a bit of a premium price, then the 18 megapixel, APS-C sensor-toting Canon EOS 700D is a great choice that should see you through years of service.

Robust build; Rotating LCD screen; Lightweight chassis

Shooting video is clunky; It's expensive

The Canon EOS 700D sits in a category of DLSR cameras that Canon says is for beginners. Its apparent stable mates include the tiny EOS M, the 1100D and the 100D, each of which the 700D is superior to in various ways.

Hybrid AF system boosts live view and video focusing speeds; great quality stills from low ISO range; great combination of traditional buttons and touchscreen controls

Small buffer means burst shooting is limited; image noise at high ISO settings; it's a repackaged 650D

I bought this camera package to take on a vacation to Mazatlan. Every time I brought the camera out of the air conditioned room out into the 85* weather, the lens would fog. Not just the external lens, but internal lenses and body-side lens also.

great body

crummy lenses

Recommending the T5i for still photography is a no-brainer. It's easy to use, takes quality images, and has enough technical headroom so you can spread your creative wings.

Fine 18MP still images; Helpful vari-angle touchscreen; 5 fps burst mode

Build quality not the greatest; Video focusing improved but issues remain; No wireless connectivity
