Quote from mitchel : I'm glad you're happy with the Nikon, but comparing the Canon T4i against the Nikon D7000 is ridiculous!

The D7000 body only can be had for $100 - $200 more - new body from Amazon only retails for $899.00. It is a much better camera. The D5100 > T4i in low light and dynamic range, and can be had for cheaper on a regular basis - http://www.cameta.com/Nikon-D5100...-59259.cfm

See http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon...ikon-D5100 for comparison between D5100 and T4i... look at the low light / image quality difference. Canon sensors cannot compete with Nikon sensors at the consumer level. Canon does make a wider selection of lenses but for 99.9% of the consumer level buyers out there, it shouldn't matter.

Still thinking whether I should buy it or not.

But yes, great deal. specially NO CA TAX

Quote from jhansla85 : Hoping that Amazon price matches so I can use my gift cards. This is a great deal!

I would love Amazon to Price Match this... I would return my T3 in a heartbeat. Does anybody know or have a linky to send amazon a request to PM?

Why is it ridiculous? The t4i with the 18-135 and 55-250 set up is pretty close, price-wise, to all the black friday 7000 deals.

The pricing of these things keep dropping and dropping. Hope amazon PMs so I can use my 10% off coupon

Sony or Nikon - don't care who makes them. They're way better than what's in the t4i.

Should I return my T3i bundle I bought from them earlier on Black Friday for $650 and get this instead? Any opinions?

T4i is a better camera (so return and buy this), but if you haven't invested in Canon lenses yet, look at Nikon/Sony offerings too.

Yes and Sony sensors > Canon sensors, thus, Nikon consumer level > Canon consumer level in low light/image quality. I do think Canon has slightly better WB but Nikon has better colors (I am a big fan of the saturated look)

No, my name is not Ken Rockwell.

That's a nice site, but they don't say what lenses were in use, and the fact that ISO's listed are different will of course create more noise. I own a 1.4 50mm and have rented the 1.4 28mm for Canon. Have shot in extremely low light situations on my 8mp Canon Rebel XT and had very little noticeable noise. Canon vs Nikon all seems to be a brand flame war. Like PS3/XBox and Windows/Mac. Use what you know, are comfortable with, and what makes you happy.

I missed all the T3i deals, and am kicking myself over. Will be in for one, thanks OP!

Did you add the Tax that Amazon now charges?

Quote from tvguy710 : been waiting to get in on the t4i missed the black friday and didn't buy from adorama b/c of tax. Should I jump on this or wait?

Time to Jump

This deal is the best ever, better than that rootless ebay seller that even till now has not shipped the camera to may buyer (Last month's deal). And better (Bag, filter) than Adorama.
Then you are buying from a reputable USA seller that is authorized dealer and you have no worry about your surprises if anything goes wrong during first year of warranty.

Wait no more and have fun.
