Re: Advise for a budget EOS camera

I had a T2i/450D and then upgraded to a T4i/650D. I wouldn't go back, not because the T4i gave poor results (of course it was fine) but because (1) Manual mode with Auto ISO allows me to set the shutter speed and f/stop with the camera choosing ISO, (2) flippy screen keeps me from sometimes having to lie on the ground, (3) touch-screen focus point in live view is often useful, and (4) live view AF with half-press shutter button is way better than AF with a separate button.

Here's a shot that makes use of all of the above features. Also, I bought my 650D (body only) from ebay almost two years ago for $400; should be less now.
