With its ease of use and powerful features, the T5i is a great step from a point-and-shoot or smartphone.

Display swings out for capturing a variety of angles ; Great image quality

Live View focus seems sluggish ; Some physical controls are awkward to navigate

With its ease of use and powerful features, the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is a good choice for those looking to graduate to their first compact digital SLR—particularly if they want to shoot to video.

Canon EOS 700D (EOS Rebel T5i)

June 2013: The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i replaces the very short-lived Canon EOS 650D / T4i but is almost indistinguishable from it in terms of design, operation and specification. Our tests have found the image quality and performance of both cameras...

Comprehensive touchscreen interface that is intuitive and efficient ; High image quality with good balance between detail and noise reduction in JPEG output ; Good subject tracking AF in viewfinder shooting mode (compared to mirrorless competition) ; 5...

Slow 'hybrid AF' performance in live view and video modes (compared to mirrorless competition) ; Slightly higher noise levels than its peers ; Default dynamic range lags a bit behind its peers ; Using flash with Auto ISO enabled results in ISO 400 even...

The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i is an upgrade to the 650D almost in name only, but still combines very good image quality with a comprehensive, well-designed touchscreen interface. AF performance in live view mode and video is an improvement over early...

Canon EOS Rebel T5i Review

The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is essentially the same camera as its predecessor, and it's still a solid performer.

Meet the new cam, same as the old cam

The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is pretty much the same as the T4i, and that's a mixed blessing.

The ; retains the great articulated touch-screen implementation that's optimized for video, and delivers the same excellent photo quality and solid video as its predecessor. Plus the performance is slightly improved.

The phase-detection autofocus system is feeling its age and competitors have caught up with the Live View performance. The tiny autofocus points in the viewfinder also remain annoying to use, and the feature set remains lackluster.

While the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is -- almost literally -- the same solid camera as its predecessor, it's starting to lag frustratingly behind the competition in some ways.

Canon EOS Rebel T5i ( Body Only)

Image quality I think Canon tweaked its default settings so that still-photo colors aren't quite so out of whack, though there are still some hue shifts. JPEGs look clean up through ISO 800, which is typical for this class, and usable at full scale to...

Canon EOS Digital Rebel T5i Review

The Rebel T5i is called the upgrade to Canon's Rebel T4i DSLR camera from last year, but it's more like a very close sibling. Canon only made a few changes to the T5i versus the T4i. This fact makes it unlikely that Rebel T4i owners will want to...

Image quality is very high ; Extremely fast performance in Viewfinder mode ; Very fast start-up ; Articulated, high-resolution LCD is nice feature for shooting with a tripod ; Touchscreen LCD makes it easy to control camera for beginners ; Ports...

Not enough improvements from Rebel T4i ; Autofocus works too slowly in Live View mode, creating significant shutter lag ; Although autofocus in video mode is improved from past Rebels, it's still slow ; Autofocus illuminator lamp only works when the...

Canon EOS Rebel T5i / 700D Review

I'm going to do a lot of "borrowing" in this review. And I'll start off by borrowing the opening line from both the Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D DSLR review and the Canon EOS Rebel T3i/600D DSLR review :

Canon EOS 700D Review

The Canon EOS 700D (called the Digital Rebel T5i in North America) is a new DSLR camera that sits above the 600D / T3i at the top of Canon's entry-level EOS line-up. The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i is an extremely modest upgrade of the EOS 650D / Rebel...

The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i seems to have been released just to accompany the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens. The only other notable changes from the previous 650D / Rebel T4i model are a subtly different finish to the body, a 360-degree...

Canon T5i Review

The Canon T5i might not be significantly different to the T4i, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It retains everything we loved about its predecessor, comes with a better lens, and yet costs even less.

Excellent image quality; 9 cross-type AF points; Stereo microphones; Built-in touchscreen; Multi-shot modes; Improved kit lens; Even more affordable

Little-changed from the earlier T4i; Slow Live View and video autofocus; High ISO performance is unimproved; Below-average battery life; No dedicated AF illuminator

Canon EOS T5i review: This entry-level DSLR is particularly great for video

Among Canon's entry-level SLR offerings, the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is the strongest pick if you're interested in capturing video as well as still images. Its articulating, swing-out high-resolution touchscreen display really helps when capturing video...
