Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens

The Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens is a world-first touchscreen DSLR kit, pairing an advanced, feature-rich consumer camera body with a versatile everyday zoom lens for a complete, ready-to-shoot setup. Positioned as a meaningful step up from the T3i, it’s aimed at photographers who want faster, more responsive autofocus along with genuinely useful touchscreen control.

At the core of the T4i is an 18.0MP APS-C “Hybrid CMOS” sensor (22.3 x 14.9mm) paired with Canon’s DIGIC 5 image processor, offering an ISO range of 100-12800 (expandable to 25600). The Hybrid CMOS AF system incorporates on-sensor phase-detection pixels, enabling continuous autofocus with subject tracking during both Live View photography and video recording, a notable advancement over the contrast-detection-only systems in earlier Rebel bodies. For viewfinder shooting, the camera uses a 9-point, all cross-type autofocus system inherited from the EOS 60D, with the center point sensitive to f/2.8, and a 63-zone iFCL (intelligent Focus, Color, Luminance) metering sensor supporting evaluative, partial, spot, and center-weighted average patterns.

Continuous shooting reaches up to 5fps, and the shutter offers speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000 second plus bulb mode, with flash sync at 1/200 second. A built-in pop-up flash offers a guide number of 13m (ISO 100) with E-TTL II control and wireless flash capability, letting the T4i’s built-in flash trigger other compatible flashes. Video capability includes Full HD 1080p recording with built-in stereo microphones and a 3.5mm external stereo microphone jack.

Handling centers on a 3.0-inch, fully articulating, touch-sensitive Clear View II TFT LCD (1,040,000 dots, 3:2 aspect ratio) supporting touch shutter and touch autofocus point selection, along with an optical pentamirror viewfinder offering approximately 95% coverage and 0.85x magnification. The camera includes GPS receiver compatibility (via the optional GP-E2), HDMI mini output, and remote control compatibility with both the RS-60E3 wired remote and RC-6 wireless remote.

The bundled EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens covers a standard zoom range giving a 28.8-88mm equivalent field of view on the T4i’s APS-C sensor, well suited to general-purpose, travel, and everyday photography, with built-in Optical Image Stabilizer helping to counter camera shake for sharper handheld shots.

Build quality measures approximately 133.1 x 99.8 x 78.8mm and weighs approximately 575g (with battery and card), powered by Canon’s LP-E8 battery pack rated for approximately 440 shots per charge (CIPA, 50% flash usage). The camera stores images on SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I compatible) cards, and the T4i uses Canon’s EF/EF-S lens mount, giving it access to Canon’s full range of EF and EF-S lenses.
