Just after a year of the launch of Rebel T2i has come Rebel T3i. Let us see what are the differences in these two models and if it is really worth investing more to buy T3i. T3i is basically the same as T2i, with the addition of an articulated screen that also incorporates some beginner friendly features that were not there on T2i. It allows the user to change the look of the images and also to control the background without having any technical knowledge.
T3i also has some of the features of the more advanced 60D such as multi aspect ratio shooting along with creative filters. These are some tools that allow a range of effects to be added to the image after it has been captured. In addition, it can wirelessly control off camera flashes. According to the manufacturers, this mode makes an analysis of the scene and sets the exposure and other image processing parameters accordingly. Experience comes from bad judgment.
Olga, something doesn't seem right with your test with the Canon T2i. Were both of these cameras on a tripod? Did you take repeated tests? I have two Canon T2i D cameras and if they consistently performed like what you showed us, I would get another camera. Both of my Canon T2i D cameras focus accurately. It's rare that there's a problem.
If there is, it's usually a user problem I also see that you used F2. Without looking at a DOF calculator or chart, won't that give you a rather shallow depth of field at 40mm FL, especially when you are close to the shelf? That's why I was wondering if you had used a tripod. Because after we autofocus, any slight movement away or towards the objects can give us soft out-of-focus images.
Olga Johnson wrote: I was surprised to see how much more accurate the T4i has been in focusing. Just wondering, is it that the T4i is that much more accurate hard to believe that the earlier models would have been that relatively poor or could it be that the lens just gets along better with your T4i? I know I've read of people sending in their camera bodies and lenses to get them adjusted to focus properly - could it just be discrepancy between the T2i and the lens which needs to be corrected?
My guess, which I just posted, is that possibly the T2i is out of adjustment to work with that lens as well as the T4i does. I agree, if the T2i was that bad Canon would have one heck of a bad rep for Rebels being poor focusers.
I think Olga's T2i may be the culprit, not because all T2i's are no good, but because hers needs to be adjusted. BTW I think the T4i is a great camera and I'd trade my T3i for one any time - but as someone who works off the center focus point nearly all the time, the extra high-precision focus points of the T4i wouldn't be a huge attraction for me.
I do like the 5 fps and the touch screen. I will say the STM lens is great and the touch screen when using video while the camera on a tripod was great, too.
Back when the XT was the current model, there were many posts about front and back focus. The XTi was better as it used the more advanced AF sensor from the 30D; but there were still focus issues. Then along came a post from a technician from Canon Italy, who explained that Canon's in-house manufacturing specifications for AF accuracy were 3x looser than for the 30D and its relatives. I've had a 20D, two 30D's, a 50D and a 60D and all focused accurately with all the lenses I tried on them.
Those same lenses focused perfectly on the 30D. I don't know if Canon has tightened their in-house manufacturing specifications; but it does make me wonder. Particularly after looking at Gail's photos. Is it worth the hefty price tag? We take a look at the Cine, the high-end model in this series. The Nikon Z9 is the company's first camera to feature a stacked CMOS sensor, which brings a raft of new features, including blazing speed and autofocus performance to the Z lineup.
