#CANON REBEL T5 VS NIKON D3200 MANUAL#
We were also quite pleased with the feel of the kit lens in manual focus, which employs the focusing motors rather than the physical helicals. Though you’re still likely to notice the change in focus when moving from one subject to the next while shooting video, it was fast enough to make home movies look like they were shot with a camcorder rather than a DSLR. When shooting with the latter in live view or video, we found AF to be on the sluggish side, though faster than we’ve noticed in previous Canons.īut we were pleasantly surprised at the speed of AF in those modes when using the STM kit lens. We spent most of our field testing time shooting with either the new 18–55mm kit lens or the 24–70mm f/4L EF IS lens. (With the exposure-compensation button located near your thumb, it makes most sense to place the lone command wheel just where it is.) Between the well-organized, tabbed menus, dedicated hard buttons, and quick menu and touchscreen, we were able to change most settings quickly and easily during our shooting. Canon forgoes a second memory card slot and also limits the camera to a single command wheel, just behind the shutter button. The T5i continues the Rebel line’s tradition of well-designed interfaces in well-made bodies. The camera’s AF speed varied significantly more at –2 EV, but it didn’t fail to find focus on our test target. While Canon rates the system as effective down to –0.5 EV, our test unit was able to focus reliably at –2 EV, so we reported that data in the test results. It didn’t drop below 1 sec at any of the light levels at which the AF system is rated to function. The camera was able to keep that time below a half second down to EV 2, where it focused and captured in 0.51 sec. At the brightest light level in our test, EV 12, the T5i focused on our target and captured an image in 0.32 sec.

Plus, the noise level didn’t reach Unacceptable until ISO 12,800. The camera maintained a Low or better rating from ISO 100 through ISO 800, and at ISO 1600, the T5i’s noise rose only to Moderately Low-one reason, perhaps, that resolution took a hit at this point. But it should suffice for the folks most likely to buy this Rebel. Given the T5i’s 18MP sensor, this performance isn’t bad, though it doesn’t stand out as exceptional, either. By ISO 6400, resolution had dropped to 2100 lines, and at the top sensitivity of ISO 25,600 (Canon calls it Hi), it fell to 1860 lines. At ISO 200 it dropped to 2450 lines per picture height at ISO 800, it held on to most of that, turning in 2440 lines. Once the ISO went beyond 100, however, resolution fell enough to bring the T5i’s rating down to Extremely High. Color accuracy also earned top honors with an average Delta E of 6.7. With just enough resolving power to earn it an Excellent rating at its lowest sensitivity setting, the Canon EOS Rebel T5i garnered an overall Image Quality rating of Excellent at ISO 100. We challenged it in the Popular Photography Test Lab. On paper, the Rebel T5i looks like a great, all-purpose image-capture device.

Video fans will have Canon’s full suite of movie-making features at their disposal: choice of 30 fps or 24 fps capture, audio recording through the built-in stereo microphone or the minijack stereo mic input (complete with audio level adjustments), and the Video Snapshot mode that lets you piece together short clips as you shoot.

The hybrid autofocus system of the Canon Rebel T5i has nine traditional cross-type points, plus phase-detection points built into the CMOS sensor that work with Canon’s STM lenses, whose stepping motors allow for quiet continuous AF during video capture. The newest top Rebel, the 18MP EOS Canon Rebel T5i ($899, street, with 18–55 f/3.5–5.6 EF-S IS STM lens), boasts ISOs up to 25,600, 5-frames-per-second bursts, and a 3-inch, 1.04 million-dot articulating LCD screen. Canon’s EOS Rebels have long been a safe bet for anyone looking for a relatively inexpensive DSLR with plenty of bang for the buck.
