So.... whos' got one (T4i)

Focusing seemed fine to me...but it was very bright outside, so the aperture was surely stepped down - notice the large depth of field (DOF) when focusing on the boat Any focusing errors would be hidden. Shooting indoors would be a much tougher test.

I have an IPS based LCD, but even so, the whites looked blown out and shaded areas were a bit too dark, but maybe post processing SW increased the contrast? It could also be my monitor's settings.

I have not viewed many T2i/t3i videos though, but surely many others have however.
