Auto pushes the contrast and saturation so that you lose detail in shadow areas and normally bright, saturated colors clip highlight detail. That's why Canon offers four different non-special-effect color settings: Auto, Standard, Neutral, and Faithful.
My normal Canon setting is Neutral with sharpening bumped up a couple notches, but at the very least dial it back to Standard, which is still better than Auto. It's pretty comparable to the A65, though I have to say I like the A65's tonality in bright light a little better I actually reviewed the SLT-A77V, which uses the same sensor and processing technology. There's some color noise in blacks and on thin edges, but it delivers a nice range in the details.
Performance Note: We recently updated our testing methodology to provide slightly more real-world performance, so the results aren't necessarily comparable with previous testing. Until we're finished refining our procedures, we will not be posting comparative performance charts. Through the viewfinder -- i. In bright conditions, time to focus, expose and shoot was a solid 0.
In dim conditions, they're both 0. In contrast AF mode i. This is the only test I ran for the mm lens. Sequential shooting is similarly fast: 0. Burst performance results were interesting, in a disappoining way. For a nonmoving subject but with center-point AF active, the T4i clocks about 5.
However, with moving subjects -- in practice, that is -- it's far slower. In some cases it seemed to drop to roughly 2fps based on the file time stamps. Accuracy, on the other hand, is very good, with roughly 75 percent of shots locking well enough for typical nonprofessional uses for panning, approaching, and random movements. The AF system seems to work fairly well with wide apertures on fast lenses, including the 50mm f1.
But despite updates to its automatic operation, it's still making unintelligent AF choices, such as always opting to focus on the closest element in the scene. I have to admit: shooting Live View and video with the T4i is a joy compared with most dSLRs --but only with the STM lens -- because the contrast AF snaps in relatively quickly, decisively, and quietly when shooting.
Ironically, some folks used to camcorders might find that the AF moves a little too quickly if they're used to the more gradual fade-into-focus operation of those cameras. Low Pass Filter.

Older models are usually discontinued, there's no issue in getting one, the T4i is still a relatively new camera and is fully supported and the pictures it takes are just as good as they were before it was discontinued.
There's nothing wrong with buying a discontinued product. Actually, people do it all the time. Take the Canon T2i for instance. I would actually recommend buying a t4i, and then saving the extra money to buy some nice lenses. Because, honestly any photographer who knows what he's talking about will tell you this , it all depends on the lens. Okay, maybe not ALL of it, but a good portion of it. You can still squeeze some mileage out of a 5-year-old camera, and still make the pictures look great!
So, answering your question, it's fine to buy a discontinued camera. Since there's hardly any difference between the t4i and t5i besides the price then the t4i is probably your camera :. There is no issue getting a discontinued body if it meets your needs. It will still get support, there just isn't a reason for them to keep making more of them. Also, if the lens is the only reason you prefer one over the other, you may be better off buying a body only version rather than a kit.
Kit lenses are generally near worthless anyway so you are often better buying the body and then buying the lenses you want separately.
As others have mentioned, new models always replace older ones and it's not usually anything to be concerned with, the old model will be perfectly serviceable or they wouldn't have been selling it. There are also other good reasons to recommend buying a camera once it hits "end of life" and is to be retired from the shelves As a case in point, read up on the story of the Nikon D You're still getting the same equipment, just with a bit of cash left over to put towards other things like a better lens or accessory.
