It is funny the different experiences.  I was not lucky enough to get a "golden" copy of the 50 1.8.  About 1/3 of its photos are in focus.  The rest are useless.  Basically, I can only use it in...

I'm with you. XGA resolution is NOT 2.36 megapixels.

Do definitions mean anything to marketing?

It is a lot what you are used to.  For years I have used Canon's P/S (A95, S90).  I love my T4i, but anytime I want to take it out of the house, it is such a PITA.  I love picking up my S90,...

I purchased the 50mm first, but became too irritated trying to use it indoors.  Like you mentioned, I kept needing something wider.  Also, my 50mm has the crapiest autofocus.  I get maybe 25%...

You can set it so that it will stay off or stay on.  Mine stays on as long as the camera is on.

I have seen other people have mention the top LCD as particularly valuable.  Is it that much better than the back LCD screen which shows even more info?  I guess if you have the top LCD you can...

Others have mentioned that they have had focus problems with this lens. I experienced much of the same.  With a T4i, and the lens at 1.8-2.5, the viewfinder focus was very inconsistent. It may be...

Like you, I was also pretty disappointed with the 50mm 1.8.  There are numerous other comments in these forums about people that had bad experiences with these until they got a "golden copy" that...

I think you hit the nail on the head with Jpg vs Raw.  I don't shoot in raw, so I forgot that is where that is selected.

One non-scientific data point:  I just did a test last night with the T4i on a tripod with the 18-55 II IS kit lens.  IS on and IS off.  I don't have all the technical details on hand (at work...

I have a T4I that I am still learning, but I am a little baffled why they made this so easy to change (it's right there on the quick control menu).  On P/S cameras this makes a bit of sense, IQ...

I looked for this, but I could not find it.Ah, yes, it is single shot AF.Thank you for the help.Yes, I am working to get better at this. I took a lot of pictures of my daughter today. She would...

I am not sure what you first two questions mean. I used the viewfinder. I did force the AF to refocus after I manually focused. IS on in both pictures. According to the manual, IS has no...

Dang it! I put this in the wrong forum. Are there mods here? Can they move it?

I have read a thread in here where someone was having T4i autofocus problems. Everyone said they need to learn their equipment. If that is so, help me!I walked around outside today with my brand...

Yea, but by the time I pay for the sales tax its up to 950 again.But that is good news (at least for me) that it is not flying off the shelves. I think there might be some good discounts come...

I am looking to purchase my first DSLR and I am trying to decide between the Nikon D5100 and the new Canon T4i. I think I really do want the Canon but the only real benefit over the Nikon for me...
