Shop at B&H: bit.ly/CanonEOS... The Canon EOS Rebel T5i takes its place at the top of Canon's Rebel line with 18 megapixels and a fully articulated touchscreen.
I don't often respond to reviews as the purpose is to be informative so it borders on redundant, yet many fall short of this goal. However, I am compelled to compliment the speaker on an excellent presentation. This was by far one of the best reviews I've seen on this camera, since I am considering a purchase, I have watched several up to this point. Mr. Becker displayed superb knowledge of the T5i and is equally fluent in his vocabulary on the subject. I liked the review style and consider it very informative, so for this 7:31 minute investment on my part, I have decided to commit to purchase. Thank you Mr. Becker and B&H for your effort, kudos!
I was given this as my very first DSLR and I absolutely love it!!! My mom gave it to me because she upgraded and I was blown away. I can't put into words how lovely this thing is and how easy it is to learn on. I love Canon and don't see myself ever needing to upgrade this body for many many years yet. If anyone is wondering if this is worth the money. I can guarantee that it most certainly is and will be worth every penny. You will learn fast on it if you're making the jump from point and shoot's to DSLR's if you put a few hours in to getting to know your new gadget and asking questions from any family or friends who are photographers, or just by simply surfing the net and joining up on some forums and watching YT videos. Anyways, happy shooting!!! CHEERS!!! =D PEACE!!!
Wow! I've been making movies and doing photography for almost a year now and the focus sound has always been something that's bugged me a lot. Thanks for informing me about what an STM lens is :)
This is the most explanatory video I’ve watched! I have a t5i coming in the mail, and I’m going to watch this again when I get it. You made this so easy to understand! Great job!
In the P, TV, AV, and M exposure modes you have the ability to select the AF point and use it to focus on the subject. In the other exposure modes the camera is designed to focus on the closest subject to the camera. Page 100 of the camera?s instruction manual details how to set the camera so you may select the focus point. - Yossi
Just like the T4i and the SL1, under the 3rd Setup menu you have the option to Disable Touch Control. The great news is that traditional menu navigation with the Quick Control button and Cross Keys, works perfectly and touch control isn't necessary to operate the camera or access menu items.
Hi Charles, we're aware that the T4i and the T5i are very similar, including the touchscreen. In fact, when Larry enumerates the few differences between the two, you'll notice that the touchscreen is not mentioned in any way. Our goal is to be clear and complete with information always, and never misleading. Thanks for watching.
+Natalia Valente Yes it will if you have the AF set on the lens. When depressing the shutter button to take the self-timed photo, a half-depression of the shutter button will deploy the AF, and once your satisfied with the focus you can then fully depress the shutter button to activate the self timer. - Yossi
Hi, that was a feature that Canon had planned but never actually implemented on the T5i. Our apologies for the inaccuracy, and we're working on a fix for the video. Thanks for watching.
I'd put my money towards the Canon. Not only does it have better image quality, but you also have a much larger selection base of lenses and accessories for the Canon then you would for the Samsung. Canon has almost 10 times the lens options available for it. Thats worth considering when investing into a camera system. - Yossi
as much as i love Canon, they've been essentially pushing out the same Rebel camera since the T2i. yeah, the flip out touch screen and STM kit lens is definitely a plus, but when you look at the specs that really matter, and if you can do without all the fancy features that dont improve your photos, i'd suggest just going with the T2i, if you can find one.
I bought my camera 1 month ago, today i took a picture and as soon as its about to flash the whole camera turns off, and wont turn on again unless i take the battery out and then insert it again :( any suggestions? Battery is new and fully charged
I am sorry you are having this issue. From what you've reported it sounds as if you possibly have a defective battery or some other issues with the camera's electronics system. You would need to contact Canon USA directly for their technical support agents to diagnose, and they would also give you instructions for submitting it for repair if need be. You may contact them directly at 1-800-ok-canon. Yossi
Touch screens are great.I frequently use and enjoy it.Especially shooting in macro,it is so useful.If you want to get all benefits of touch screen, it needs some practice of course.! My 7D does not work well with 500mm f4 , but T4i does so well.(My 7D great with 600mm f4L II)
I'm a film maker and I'm upgrading from an old Cannon VIXIA HF R10 to this camera very soon. This video really helped in getting me to understand the camera and I do plan on doing a lot of low light shooting in my next film. So thank you! But since my old camera is so basic, any tips on ajusting to the upgrade?
You might checkout the HDSLR Educational Series on the Explora section of B&H's site. While the episodes are demonstrating features of the 5D II, there are still many helpful tips on shooting video with a DSLR in general. This could help with starting out with video on the T5i. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com bhpho.to/1z3tyhi
400x speed card does not help when taking images... class 10 would be the fastest speed, etc. The 400x speed would be transfer to your computer... just adding. And, I love your videos. ty for always sharing and feel free to delete this comment.
Ya I'm not sure if I should get this or the sony a6000 I like how small it is but I like how the canon has a touch screen it's easier to focus and I like changing the Manuel settings on the screen

I am heavily debating between the t4/5i and the Nikon 5200/5300,,Reason for the Nikon,,More mp,,reason for the Canon,,camera setting when changed can be seen in real time in live view,,I am thinking this may be helpful as a first dslr...Probably will not get the kit and get 2 lenses,,40mm 2.8? For Jewelry photos, and a lens for mostly out door landscape photos mostly "stills"...I'd like to call tomorrow afternoon,,,who should i ask for? Thanks
Both Canon and Nikon make excellent cameras, and it would be hard to go wrong with either the T5i or D5100. If you are leaning towards the T5i, I would suggest looking at a macro lens for Jewelry over the 40mm pancake lens. As for whom to ask for over the phone, any of our agents in the Pro Photo Department would be able to assist you. Christina- askbh@bandh.com
See the links below for recommended portraiture lenses as well as sports lenses to consider for use with your current Rebel as well as any future Rebel you may upgrade to (the first two are for portraiture, the second two for sports). - Yossi bhpho.to/1lgeCDM bhpho.to/1osnclc bhpho.to/1kzifd1 bhpho.to/1kzijcE
touch screen?? UGH!!! I HATE touch screens. please, camera makers, STOP with the touch screen stuff. use d-pads for navigation. Going to buy the T4i, Glad I watched this. I LOVE B&H. Great place to shop. they have just about everything.
The T5i has a much improved video auto focus system. Unfortunately, it is not as quick as a regular consumer camcorder. If you are unable to get the AF to perform to your satisfaction, I suggest getting an optical or electronic viewfinder in order to facilitate you being able to do continual manual focus. One example. XIT Elite Series Locking LCD Viewfinder for 3" DSLR Screens B&H # XIXTLCDMVL DennisL ask@bhphoto.com
Very clear explained! Helpful. But what do you mean at 1:19 that it can zoom digitally while recording? You mean with buttons on the camera instead of turning the zoom ring? (I'm probably going to buy this one but I only saved up for 1/3 of the budget so far :) )
Nikon D5200 is Excellent in low light performance (both video and still) compare to T5i and Panasonic GH3 (See eoshd{dot}com website). Xlent image quality for D5200 compare to T5i, DXO mark Sensor rating for D5200 is 83 and for t5i is 61. You have full manual control in video for T5i where as D5200 has manual control in LiveView but cannot change aperture in liveview mode. To change Aperture u have to exit from liveview and change aperture and go back to liveview.
Would you recommend the T5i and its 18-135mm lens kit for student filmmaking? To me that range sounds like it would cover quite a variety of shots am I right?
+tash babii If stills are your main concern I would still be leaning towards the T5i. The T5i would have a more expanded ISO range for better low light performance. Additionally the tilt and swivel screen of the T5i would also allow for more varied compositions, and the slight faster frame per second rate would give it the advantage for any kind of fast paced/action shooting. *Andrea
Your video was great and very informative. Quick question, I am looking to purchase this camera to shoot video. Is their a limitation to the length of the video that can be shot?
nicole gradeless Yes, continuous shooting while in movie (video) mode is limited to about 29 minutes 59 seconds. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com >Mark
Yes, the LCD screen can be flipped around to the side of the camera so that you could be in front of the camera's lens and still see yourself on the LCD screen. - Yossi
Geraldin Garber The Canon Rebel T5i is a great camera to use for this type of work. It's easy to learn on and will stay relevant as you grow/learn more about the camera. It's compatible with a nice range of lenses so as you carry on you can always opt for different lenses as the job requires. - Yossi
Overall, most features of the cameras are very similar to one another. Between the two, the T5i would be my choice. It is the newer model of the two, and has a better sensor used in it for image capture. It also has a faster burst rate of 5 frames per second vs 4fps in the Nikon. - Yossi
They both share the range between the 18mm through 55mm focals, the 18-135mm lens simply has a longer focal range to work with, in this instance giving a nice telephoto aspect for subjects further away. 18mm is considered wide angle in this format, and 55mm is the beginning of the telephoto focals roughly. Below is a link to a popular lens manufacturer?s website (Tamron) specifically linked to their Focal Length Comparison Tool. This tool will allow you to view the same image taken at any focal with a slider so you may compare them and understand each?s setting and purpose through a visual means. Hope this helps. ?

Hello may i know whether we can select the single point focus in view finder? I mean like choosing the point we want to focus when looking the viewfinder like how nikon can
I just bought the RODE videomic pro and was told I have to lower the internal volume on the camera, I'm having an issue finding where to do that. Can you explain where I find the volume settings to lower the internal mic? Thank you!
The audio settings for video recording is under the Movie Menu in the Canon T5i?s camera menu. The camera must be in Movie Mode before you press the MENU button to access the Camera Movie Menu settings. You would have to change the Sound Recording from Auto to Manual. Follow the instructions listed in your camera?s instruction manual on page 198 (though you may read pages 196-199.) If you do not have your instruction manual, you may download one from Canon USA?s website.
***** My best advice is to shoot a lot, when you think you've shoot enough, you've not yet begun, shoot more. The more you shoot (both stills and video) the more experience you will gain both in the field and in processing/editing. Make mistakes, its digital so its very forgiving if you do make mistakes, just make sure to learn from them. The more you shoot, the more you will start to develop a personal style, of which you can then start to hone in to a marketable product to offer your future prospective clients. If you would like more focused advice, feel free to email us at askbh@bhphoto.com with any type of question, and our agents there can reply with all types of advice. - Yossi
I've been into photography since 1972, and these two cameras are great. Shoot a lot, learn from your mistakes. Develop your "eye". It's just like learning to play a musical instrument, practice, practice , practice. Put your time to good use. And by the way, the guys at B and H are very reputable, I've been a customer for years. Good luck to you.
The Canon EOS Rebel T5i and the 700D are the same cameras actually. The Canon 10-22mm lens is fully compatible with both. In addition to the 10-22mm lens Canon now offers a more affordable 10-18mm lens which has proven to be a great option with very nice image quality. As a separate recommendation, Sigma brand also offers a very nice 10-20mm lens which is sharp with nice contrast as well. See the links below for details on each lens. ?

I just bought the Canon t5i for Christmas. Just before Christmas actually. When I take pictures it will allow me to take 3 pictures then it won't take any more pictures. When I press the button it does nothing. I press it halfway, it focuses and then... nothing. it's been this way since I bought the camera. When it first started happening it used to have a busy word flash real quick every time I tried to take a picture. any ideas what this might be or is my camera broke?
+404now Could be the speed of the memory card you are using. Slower cards will stop the camera from shooting if they are still writing information to the card. I would make sure you are using at least a Class 10 speed card. *Andrea
Maybe you can help me out with this or someone can help me out. I seen a person taking a photos with a canon rebel t4i i believe, maybe it was a 5 but no more. Here in thailand he was taking pictures of the temples on the boat, i seen him taking pictures and the pictures would change color from the light aim at the temple. He showed me how to do it and i can no figure it out at all, i even have spent hours trying to look it up online and no one has it. So let me give you maybe a better example if you do not understand me quite well. When the picture was taken of having a light in the photo he could get it to change colors, almost like a 3d or maybe a holygram picture. He showed me in setting what to do but i thought i could remember but i didnt. I hope someone doenst think im crazy and can help me out and then can also make a video of it because i have yet to find one on you tube. It looked very awesome and it seemed it was almost like a live picture off apple but instead it changed colors also and it was pretty badass. He just had his camera and nothing else.
Most likely you were shown how to use the Creative Filters selected while using the Live View screen. See pages 152 and forward of the Canon EOS Rebel T5i owner's manual for instructions: bit.ly/2GHpizf >Mark
this is my first dslr, I haven't got a tripod yet but will be needing one for stationary vlogging soon. do you have any tripod recommendations for this particular camera?
The Magnus VT-4000 Tripod System with Fluid Head (B&H # MAVT4000) is a stable, sturdy video tripod made from anodized aluminum that can support loads up to 8.8 lb. Overall, this tripod offers many features usually only found on more expensive models. The two-way fluid head provides smooth operation, and features a half-ball mount with a diameter of 65mm, with left and right pan bar mounts. It comes supplied with one pan bar. In addition, unlike most other heads in its class, all the head controls are positioned on the left side of the head, which leaves your right hand free for the panning handle. The VT-4000 tripod system weighs 7.9 lb. bhpho.to/1f6vRbT Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com>Mark
Hello. I'm a beginner in photography and an enthusiast of night sky pictures and city lights. ¿Is this camera a good choice for that kind of pictures? Thank you.
Yes, the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is definitely a great camera overall, and can be used to take night sky pictures and city lights etc. For those types of shots use of a tripod and remote shutter are recommended. - Yossi
Yes, the Canon EOS Rebel T5i offered a flip out LCD doe shooting selfies. However, it has since been replaced with the Canon EOS Rebel T8i DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens , BH # CAEDRT8I1855. bhpho.to/3rXRFzb
+Dewain Audiss - Unfortunately, you cannot use the T5i’s viewfinder when shooting video as the mirror is up during video/live view. You could look at getting a loupe for the LCD such as the Hoodman HoodLoupe 3" Glare Free LCD Loupe. *Christina* AskPhoto@bhphoto.com bhpho.to/1CXNUd5
Hello I have one question: I have a Canon Rebel T5i that I bought 3 months ago and I shoot wedding shot short videos with it in HD but the problem is that everytime I move my camera to another point it makes blury!! I always videoshoot on auto and servo on and autofocus on because things happes so fast in the wedding and I have no time to set all this things manualy! What do you suggest me to do how should i set my camera settings to get FULL HD and not blury at all ?!! Thank you. Albion.
The T5i is a very small upgrade over the T4i. It adds real time preview of the creative filters in live view. The T5i new mode dial moves 360 degrees and it has a new up-market finish. The EOS Rebel T5i also features new lens correction tools that compensate for lens characteristics that can affect overall image quality. Dana G. askbh{at}bandh{dot}com
Debating between the Powershot SX60 and the Rebel T5i. I know they are very different cameras. I am a beginner but I would like to advance in taking different photos. I work from home as a fitness coach / marketer and I do a lot of video trainings on TH-cam and self photos. I also will use the camera for personal use. I like the SX60 because of the zoom and easy transfer of pictures to smartphone via wifi for social media posts but I like the creativity the T5i give you also. A friend said the SX60 may not function well in low light compared to the T5i. Just wondering if you can highly recommend one over the other? I really like the wifi feature of the Powershot. It is hard to pass up. My max budget would be about $700. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
Both are excellent cameras, and it would be hard to go wrong with either. The T5i will have the better low light performance. That being said, if you feel like you really want to go with the SX60, you could get away with it for your needs. And with what you save in the difference in pricing, you could look into picking up a decent external mic for your videos, a solid tripod, or a small video light (things that could really help in the quality of your videos). *Christina* askbh@bandh.com
Hi Could you please upload a video how to find Canon rebel t5i factory setting? I look at to to reset my camera there is not such video I cannot find the factory setting on T5I
Unfortunately, we don’t have a video for reverting the camera to the default settings. Though, you can find the step by step instructions for doing this on pg 214 of the camera’s manual. *Christina* AskTH-cam@bhphoto.com bit.ly/1yrSgsU
+Shedivastatus All day The Canon T5i does not have built in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. However it is fully compatible with a variety of Wi-Fi SD cards. These cards create their own Wi-Fi signal allowing you to connect via the card’s proprietary App on your smartphone or tablet for wireless transfer of photos. The card would need to be in the camera, and the camera powered on, to do so. Here is a link to the current Wi-Fi cards available:bhpho.to/1HRw3pJ *Andrea
I want to go far in youtube and get a very very very GOOD camera to film with! Do u recommend cannon EOS rebel t3i or t5i? And if I get one of those should I get the kit with the extra lens?
+Christian Santizo Still image quality between these two cameras would be remarkably similar and give great results either way you go. Video performance, specifically autofocus during video is what makes the T5i stand out. The Hybrid CMOS AF in combination with Canon’s STM lenses provides smooth and silent autofocus while recording video or shooting stills with the live view screen, outperforming the D3300 in the area. For the best of both worlds, I would suggest the T5i. *Andrea
Wondering if it's possible to remove the Rebel t5i badge on the left side and replace it with the 700D badge used in Europe? If so, where can I get the badge and how would I do this?
+SmpTecHD That isn’t designed to be removed/interchanged. While you might be able to get the T5i decal off with a bit of force, I don’t know where one would find a 700D decal. I’m also not sure what method might use to keep the new decal securely attached. *Christina* AskPhoto@bhphoto.com
+CalebSkates The Canon is years newer and offers the more advanced features. Video recording options are wider as well: Frame Rate: @ 1920 x 1080: 30 fps, 25 fps, 24 fps @ 1280 x 720: 60 fps, 50 fps @ 640 x 480: 30 fps, 25 fps Mark S
+Rishabh Pandey - The D5200 would have the better overall color depth, dynamic range, and low light performance. Though, keep in mind that what lens you are using will have as much impact on overall image quality as the camera itself: light has to pass through the lens before it reaches the sensor. *Christina* AskTH-cam@bhphoto.com
Khang Vang If you are referring to the "STM" designation (I am not familiar with TSM), STM indicates a Canon lens with a Stepping Motor built into the lens, designed for smooth and silent autofocusing during video capture with cameras equipped with their Movie Servo AF capability. For newer Canon cameras that provide Movie Servo AF, these lenses will focus much smoother and more quietly compared to non-STM lenses, though non-STM lenses will still autofocus with these cameras.
If I'm going to be using an slr for primarily video recording, is this camera worth the extra money over the 100D or Sl1? Its over $170 au more expensive than the SL1 and I don't get paid much, and I've heard that the sl1 is as good if not better than the t5i when it comes to video
In comparison to the SL1, the T5i has the better autofocus system and has a flip-out LCD. Both of these would give the T5i an edge over the SL1 in terms of video. I would likely lean towards the T5i. *Christina* AskTH-cam@bhphoto.com
- The Canon T5i is compatible with any Canon EF or EF-S lens, and any lens made by other manufacturers for Canon EOS DSLRs. *Christina* AskTH-cam@bhphoto.com
The Canon 700d and the Rebel T5i cameras are the same/identical model. Unfortunately neither model happens to incorporate Wi-Fi feature built into them. I double-checked that by downloading the instruction manual for both and it confirmed there that they do not have built-in Wi-Fi. You could consider purchasing either model, and using an Eye-Fi brand Wi-Fi enabled memory card which would then allow you to shoot and transmit the images to either a computer or smartphone/tablet. See the link below for details on the Eye-Fi brand memory cards on our website. - Yossi bhpho.to/17Rvq3C

Touch screens are great.I frequently use and enjoy it.Especially shooting in macro,it is so useful.If you want to get all benefits of touch screen, it needs some practice of course.! My 7D does not work well with 500mm f4 , but T4i does so well.(My 7D great with 600mm f4L II)
I'm a film maker and I'm upgrading from an old Cannon VIXIA HF R10 to this camera very soon. This video really helped in getting me to understand the camera and I do plan on doing a lot of low light shooting in my next film. So thank you! But since my old camera is so basic, any tips on ajusting to the upgrade?
You might checkout the HDSLR Educational Series on the Explora section of B&H's site. While the episodes are demonstrating features of the 5D II, there are still many helpful tips on shooting video with a DSLR in general. This could help with starting out with video on the T5i. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com

I would of liked more a low light demo and it's capabilities
400x speed card does not help when taking images... class 10 would be the fastest speed, etc. The 400x speed would be transfer to your computer... just adding. And, I love your videos. ty for always sharing and feel free to delete this comment.
Ya I'm not sure if I should get this or the sony a6000 I like how small it is but I like how the canon has a touch screen it's easier to focus and I like changing the Manuel settings on the screen
Bought a panasonic video cam from you guys for weddings....record malfunction during a wedding ....dont think I ll order again.

I started a TH-cam channel called Will It Sandwich and we're looking for a better camera right now. Definitely need full HD video but I'm not sure whether to get a camcorder or DSLR. I have a budget of $500 - $650 total so with the camera and accessories like an external Mike and lighting. Any suggestions?
+Archy_1953 This budget does not allow much room for accessorizing with a DSLR - so go with a camcorder and an external microphone and a lighting kit or an on-camera light if you are working close to the subject:

I vlogged about this camera and I like it so far
I am heavily debating between the t4/5i and the Nikon 5200/5300,,Reason for the Nikon,,More mp,,reason for the Canon,,camera setting when changed can be seen in real time in live view,,I am thinking this may be helpful as a first dslr...Probably will not get the kit and get 2 lenses,,40mm 2.8? For Jewelry photos, and a lens for mostly out door landscape photos mostly "stills"...I'd like to call tomorrow afternoon,,,who should i ask for? Thanks
Both Canon and Nikon make excellent cameras, and it would be hard to go wrong with either the T5i or D5100. If you are leaning towards the T5i, I would suggest looking at a macro lens for Jewelry over the 40mm pancake lens. As for whom to ask for over the phone, any of our agents in the Pro Photo Department would be able to assist you. Christina- askbh@bandh.com
Good video, Thanks B&H
You guys have the best reviews

touch screen?? UGH!!! I HATE touch screens. please, camera makers, STOP with the touch screen stuff. use d-pads for navigation.
Going to buy the T4i, Glad I watched this.
I LOVE B&H. Great place to shop. they have just about everything.
The T5i has a much improved video auto focus system. Unfortunately, it is not as quick as a regular consumer camcorder. If you are unable to get the AF to perform to your satisfaction, I suggest getting an optical or electronic viewfinder in order to facilitate you being able to do continual manual focus. One example.

Awesome review for new beginners like me!. Thanks for sharing.
How good.. is the shooter speed... some cameras shoot very fast and neat pictures but mines is like ergggg...
Fantastic video!
Omg I love this video so much Larry thank you so much
Very clear explained! Helpful. But what do you mean at 1:19 that it can zoom digitally while recording? You mean with buttons on the camera instead of turning the zoom ring? (I'm probably going to buy this one but I only saved up for 1/3 of the budget so far :) )
Charles was responding to dancedj2k2 not BHPhoto
Nikon D5200 is Excellent in low light performance (both video and still) compare to T5i and Panasonic GH3 (See eoshd{dot}com website). Xlent image quality for D5200 compare to T5i, DXO mark Sensor rating for D5200 is 83 and for t5i is 61. You have full manual control in video for T5i where as D5200 has manual control in LiveView but cannot change aperture in liveview mode. To change Aperture u have to exit from liveview and change aperture and go back to liveview.
incredible video. Thank you!
Would you recommend the T5i and its 18-135mm lens kit for student filmmaking? To me that range sounds like it would cover quite a variety of shots am I right?
Here's some nature test footage shot with the Canon T5i Streams of Spangler: Fall Edition | Canon T5i Nature Film
I am deciding between this camera and the Nikon D3200. I mostly want to take great still images. Which would you recommend?
+tash babii If stills are your main concern I would still be leaning towards the T5i. The T5i would have a more expanded ISO range for better low light performance. Additionally the tilt and swivel screen of the T5i would also allow for more varied compositions, and the slight faster frame per second rate would give it the advantage for any kind of fast paced/action shooting. *Andrea
would this camera still be good for TH-cam videos and some photography
Saul Valles I'd say so!
Your video was great and very informative. Quick question, I am looking to purchase this camera to shoot video. Is their a limitation to the length of the video that can be shot?
nicole gradeless Yes, continuous shooting while in movie (video) mode is limited to about 29 minutes 59 seconds.

The scene flips to the opposite direction so that you could film yourself and be able to see it?
Yes, the LCD screen can be flipped around to the side of the camera so that you could be in front of the camera's lens and still see yourself on the LCD screen. - Yossi
Thank you!
I dont have enough money for the 18-135mm lens, so should I just buy the 18-55mm lens? or should I just buy the base and get a different lens. Help?
Im starting a clothing line & wanting to take photos of my products & models in my products, what camera would you suggest? I really like this one...
Geraldin Garber The Canon Rebel T5i is a great camera to use for this type of work. It's easy to learn on and will stay relevant as you grow/learn more about the camera. It's compatible with a nice range of lenses so as you carry on you can always opt for different lenses as the job requires. - Yossi
I still shoot film with my old Minolta / Rokkor gear, but want a dslr and video combination back-up, 5200 or the 5Ti ? Thanks.
Overall, most features of the cameras are very similar to one another. Between the two, the T5i would be my choice. It is the newer model of the two, and has a better sensor used in it for image capture. It also has a faster burst rate of 5 frames per second vs 4fps in the Nikon. - Yossi
Great video. Thanks
I'm a beginner photographer and I want to know what's the difference between 18-55 mm and 18-135 mm? I just want to know the general difference(:
They both share the range between the 18mm through 55mm focals, the 18-135mm lens simply has a longer focal range to work with, in this instance giving a nice telephoto aspect for subjects further away. 18mm is considered wide angle in this format, and 55mm is the beginning of the telephoto focals roughly. Below is a link to a popular lens manufacturer?s website (Tamron) specifically linked to their Focal Length Comparison Tool. This tool will allow you to view the same image taken at any focal with a slider so you may compare them and understand each?s setting and purpose through a visual means. Hope this helps. ? Yossi

The audio settings for video recording is under the Movie Menu in the Canon T5i?s camera menu. The camera must be in Movie Mode before you press the MENU button to access the Camera Movie Menu settings. You would have to change the Sound Recording from Auto to Manual. Follow the instructions listed in your camera?s instruction manual on page 198 (though you may read pages 196-199.) If you do not have your instruction manual, you may download one from Canon USA?s website.
***** My best advice is to shoot a lot, when you think you've shoot enough, you've not yet begun, shoot more. The more you shoot (both stills and video) the more experience you will gain both in the field and in processing/editing. Make mistakes, its digital so its very forgiving if you do make mistakes, just make sure to learn from them. The more you shoot, the more you will start to develop a personal style, of which you can then start to hone in to a marketable product to offer your future prospective clients. If you would like more focused advice, feel free to email us at askbh@bhphoto.com with any type of question, and our agents there can reply with all types of advice. - Yossi
I've been into photography since 1972, and these two cameras are great. Shoot a lot, learn from your mistakes. Develop your "eye".
It's just like learning to play a musical instrument, practice, practice , practice. Put your time to good use.
And by the way, the guys at B and H are very reputable, I've been a customer for years. Good luck to you.
Hi sir.. What is the nice/best wide angle lens..??? Canon efs -10-22mm was compatible for canon700d.. Thanks sir
The Canon EOS Rebel T5i and the 700D are the same cameras actually. The Canon 10-22mm lens is fully compatible with both. In addition to the 10-22mm lens Canon now offers a more affordable 10-18mm lens which has proven to be a great option with very nice image quality. As a separate recommendation, Sigma brand also offers a very nice 10-20mm lens which is sharp with nice contrast as well. See the links below for details on each lens. ? Yossi

I just bought the Canon t5i for Christmas. Just before Christmas actually. When I take pictures it will allow me to take 3 pictures then it won't take any more pictures. When I press the button it does nothing. I press it halfway, it focuses and then... nothing. it's been this way since I bought the camera. When it first started happening it used to have a busy word flash real quick every time I tried to take a picture. any ideas what this might be or is my camera broke?
+404now Could be the speed of the memory card you are using. Slower cards will stop the camera from shooting if they are still writing information to the card. I would make sure you are using at least a Class 10 speed card. *Andrea
Maybe you can help me out with this or someone can help me out. I seen a person taking a photos with a canon rebel t4i i believe, maybe it was a 5 but no more. Here in thailand he was taking pictures of the temples on the boat, i seen him taking pictures and the pictures would change color from the light aim at the temple. He showed me how to do it and i can no figure it out at all, i even have spent hours trying to look it up online and no one has it. So let me give you maybe a better example if you do not understand me quite well. When the picture was taken of having a light in the photo he could get it to change colors, almost like a 3d or maybe a holygram picture. He showed me in setting what to do but i thought i could remember but i didnt. I hope someone doenst think im crazy and can help me out and then can also make a video of it because i have yet to find one on you tube. It looked very awesome and it seemed it was almost like a live picture off apple but instead it changed colors also and it was pretty badass. He just had his camera and nothing else.
Most likely you were shown how to use the Creative Filters selected while using the Live View screen. See pages 152 and forward of the Canon EOS Rebel T5i owner's manual for instructions: bit.ly/2GHpizf >Mark
this is my first dslr, I haven't got a tripod yet but will be needing one for stationary vlogging soon. do you have any tripod recommendations for this particular camera?
The Magnus VT-4000 Tripod System with Fluid Head (B&H # MAVT4000) is a stable, sturdy video tripod made from anodized aluminum that can support loads up to 8.8 lb. Overall, this tripod offers many features usually only found on more expensive models. The two-way fluid head provides smooth operation, and features a half-ball mount with a diameter of 65mm, with left and right pan bar mounts. It comes supplied with one pan bar. In addition, unlike most other heads in its class, all the head controls are positioned on the left side of the head, which leaves your right hand free for the panning handle. The VT-4000 tripod system weighs 7.9 lb.

how do you use the view finder during vidio? this would make it MUCH easier to find the object being shot,
+Dewain Audiss - Unfortunately, you cannot use the T5i’s viewfinder when shooting video as the mirror is up during video/live view. You could look at getting a loupe for the LCD such as the Hoodman HoodLoupe 3" Glare Free LCD Loupe. *Christina* AskPhoto@bhphoto.com

Hello
I have one question: I have a Canon Rebel T5i that I bought 3 months ago and I shoot wedding shot short videos with it in HD but the problem is that everytime I move my camera to another point it makes blury!! I always videoshoot on auto and servo on and autofocus on because things happes so fast in the wedding and I have no time to set all this things manualy! What do you suggest me to do how should i set my camera settings to get FULL HD and not blury at all ?!!
Thank you.
Albion.
Thank you very informative
So they took the T4i, packaged it with a new lens and slapped T5i on the body, hmmm, ya I'll keep my T4i thanks
The T5i is a very small upgrade over the T4i. It adds real time preview of the creative filters in live view. The T5i new mode dial moves 360 degrees and it has a new up-market finish. The EOS Rebel T5i also features new lens correction tools that compensate for lens characteristics that can affect overall image quality.

Debating between the Powershot SX60 and the Rebel T5i. I know they are very different cameras. I am a beginner but I would like to advance in taking different photos. I work from home as a fitness coach / marketer and I do a lot of video trainings on TH-cam and self photos. I also will use the camera for personal use. I like the SX60 because of the zoom and easy transfer of pictures to smartphone via wifi for social media posts but I like the creativity the T5i give you also. A friend said the SX60 may not function well in low light compared to the T5i. Just wondering if you can highly recommend one over the other? I really like the wifi feature of the Powershot. It is hard to pass up. My max budget would be about $700. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
Both are excellent cameras, and it would be hard to go wrong with either. The T5i will have the better low light performance. That being said, if you feel like you really want to go with the SX60, you could get away with it for your needs. And with what you save in the difference in pricing, you could look into picking up a decent external mic for your videos, a solid tripod, or a small video light (things that could really help in the quality of your videos). *Christina* askbh@bandh.com

Can you send photos via Bluetooth to smartphone
+Shedivastatus All day The Canon T5i does not have built in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. However it is fully compatible with a variety of Wi-Fi SD cards. These cards create their own Wi-Fi signal allowing you to connect via the card’s proprietary App on your smartphone or tablet for wireless transfer of photos. The card would need to be in the camera, and the camera powered on, to do so. Here is a link to the current Wi-Fi cards available:bhpho.to/1HRw3pJ *Andrea

I'm looking into the Nikon D3300 and Canon T5i and want to take stills and video. Which would be best of both worlds?
Thank you!
+Christian Santizo Still image quality between these two cameras would be remarkably similar and give great results either way you go. Video performance, specifically autofocus during video is what makes the T5i stand out. The Hybrid CMOS AF in combination with Canon’s STM lenses provides smooth and silent autofocus while recording video or shooting stills with the live view screen, outperforming the D3300 in the area. For the best of both worlds, I would suggest the T5i. *Andrea
Wondering if it's possible to remove the Rebel t5i badge on the left side and replace it with the 700D badge used in Europe? If so, where can I get the badge and how would I do this?
+SmpTecHD That isn’t designed to be removed/interchanged. While you might be able to get the T5i decal off with a bit of force, I don’t know where one would find a 700D decal. I’m also not sure what method might use to keep the new decal securely attached. *Christina* AskPhoto@bhphoto.com
Should I get the canon t5i or Nikon d5100 for filming skateboarding
+CalebSkates The Canon is years newer and offers the more advanced features. Video recording options are wider as well:
Frame Rate: @ 1920 x 1080: 30 fps, 25 fps, 24 fps
@ 1280 x 720: 60 fps, 50 fps
@ 640 x 480: 30 fps, 25 fps

Does the T5i have a headphone/microphone port?
The Rebel T5i has a standard microphone port but none for headphones. - Yossi
how long of a video can the t5i record in one sitting?
Maximum continuous recording is just under 30 minutes. >Mark
this one or d5200 ?
which has better image output quality?
+Rishabh Pandey - The D5200 would have the better overall color depth, dynamic range, and low light performance. Though, keep in mind that what lens you are using will have as much impact on overall image quality as the camera itself: light has to pass through the lens before it reaches the sensor. *Christina* AskTH-cam@bhphoto.com
What is the difference between the tsm lens and the one that is not tsm?
Khang Vang If you are referring to the "STM" designation (I am not familiar with TSM), STM indicates a Canon lens with a Stepping Motor built into the lens, designed for smooth and silent autofocusing during video capture with cameras equipped with their Movie Servo AF capability. For newer Canon cameras that provide Movie Servo AF, these lenses will focus much smoother and more quietly compared to non-STM lenses, though non-STM lenses will still autofocus with these cameras.
If I'm going to be using an slr for primarily video recording, is this camera worth the extra money over the 100D or Sl1? Its over $170 au more expensive than the SL1 and I don't get paid much, and I've heard that the sl1 is as good if not better than the t5i when it comes to video
In comparison to the SL1, the T5i has the better autofocus system and has a flip-out LCD. Both of these would give the T5i an edge over the SL1 in terms of video. I would likely lean towards the T5i. *Christina* AskTH-cam@bhphoto.com

hi., i really like this camera., is this with wifi? i saw a video canon 700d . with wifi., but most review not showing the wifi.
The Canon 700d and the Rebel T5i cameras are the same/identical model. Unfortunately neither model happens to incorporate Wi-Fi feature built into them. I double-checked that by downloading the instruction manual for both and it confirmed there that they do not have built-in Wi-Fi. You could consider purchasing either model, and using an Eye-Fi brand Wi-Fi enabled memory card which would then allow you to shoot and transmit the images to either a computer or smartphone/tablet. See the link below for details on the Eye-Fi brand memory cards on our website. - Yossi
