Have a yard sale, apply for credit, donate plasma. If you have kids don't waste your time with anything less than this. It is by far the best camera I have ever owned. I have had tons of the point and shoots, high zooms and phones with cameras (which I don't really even count, but had to mention since I see so many parents using apples to document graduations???) My kids have been in sports for years and I have been spending money on progressively more expensive cameras for 16 years. I finally decided to buy this since my kids are getting into high school and I'm running out of time to find an inexpensive camera that will take pics of them in motion.
So far I have used this to take about 1,000 pics. It is amazing. The dial on the top allows you to select many generic settings that will make all the adjustments for you and give you reasonable pics. I say reasonable like I'm a pro, not the case. I'm an leaning as I go with this. Once you get the hang of that you can switch to more advanced settings. I have played with this some and they are easy to change and do change back when going back to the auto modes. (thank goodness for that)
Compared to other cameras in its class I cannot say how it measures up. All I know is Nikon and Canon are the best. I compared features for months before deciding to go with this one. It came in just under my budget and had the features I was looking for. Plus the price dropped upon the announcement of the T5i. The T5i has better Video I think.
The 5 frames a second is spectacular. I have taken photos of my son at base ball games and it freezes the ball to the point where you can see the colors of the letters and stitching on the ball. I think if I get better at the focus you will be able to read the lettering. But I'm zoomed in with the stock lens so this may affect shutter speed.
I also purchased a 75-300mm lens and it is impressive. I went the cheap route and did not get the motion reduction one. I do not see that taking pictures in good lighting that I will need it, or I can just prop it up on a tripod.
I cannot express how much I "enjoy" taking photos now over it being a chore with point and shoot cameras. This is what photography should be. The Canon T4i makes taking photos easy and although I am new to these type of cameras I feel like a pro and my pictures are turning out like I want them to for the first time.
Of all my electronic purchases including TV's, tuners, keyboards, etc, etc this is the one item I can honestly say I am most proud of.
As a side note: If you keep a couple different lenses in your bag, you will have people asking if you can take their kids senior pics, prom date photos, blah blah blah. I may take up a few offers to off set the payments of this thing. But could not be happier with money well spent.
