Canon EOS Digital Rebel T4i 18MP SLR Camera w/ 18-135mm STM Lens $799 + Free Shipping w/ V.me by Visa Checkout (expired)

Being that this is an EF-S lens, I believe there is no crop, am I correct?

Tempting... hope these drop another hundred or so over the next few months.

no crop, and this is the new lens with improved video focus tracking.

This is s good deal... bought this at amazon 3 weeks ago came with 16 gb sd card, amazon bag 100$ for canon classes? Also bought Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II for a total of $954.00.

think that's possible? i'm showing $400-450 for the lens by itself. i definitely haven't seen any t4i bodies for $400...

The lens it comes with us worth the admission! No noise on AF what so ever

Doubtful. The current instant rebates end Jan 5th, but Canon is always doing new ones. The camel shows that usually by Feb. prices start to rise back up. Each year they fall for the holiday season.

Possible? Yes. Likely? Maybe not. This is a great deal, don't get me wrong. If this had happened in November, I probably would've bought it and told my wife she was getting it for me for Christmas. As it stands, though... I already did that with tools, so I am stuck with my T1i for the time being.

Quote from artful_dodger : no crop, and this is the new lens with improved video focus tracking.

Yep... I don't really see the point of getting the T4i without STM, honestly. Continuous autofocus for video is pretty great. On my T1i I try to do it manually, but it is hard to keep up with a running toddler.

i'm on a fence here. we have vacation plans next july for hawaii. i picked up a gopro during those ridiculous BF sales because i know they don't really mess with MSRP on them. $320 is reasonable.

i have passed on all these t3i/t4i deals so far (kit lenses mind you) because i have this gut feeling it might be cheaper closer to july next year, but it seems these entry dlsr's hold their retail value for a while and only get discounted certain times of the year.

then again i need time to play with it and get used to all of the features. ahhh.. decisions!

good price.. + pancake was $900 some time back..

but live-view AF sucks

everytime I see this Camera greater than $656(what i've bought it + goodies for) , It's a SD' ish feeling . Nice camera though... Loved its video and AF capabilities so far....

huh it was suposed to be $704, i bought it when it went up to $721, but I returned the canon class for $81 refund, so mine is only $640 for the whole package like yours w/o canon class card.

Quote from purificada : best price i could find on the T4i bundled with the 18-135 STM lens must checkout with v.me by visa use promo code VMEPROMO at buydig [buydig.com]

This is a great deal. I bought the same camera and lens a couple months ago and it's been great. I was surprised at how big of an upgrade it was over my old Rebel XT (350D). I was surprised at how useful the 18-135 STM is. The IS is excellent - it legitimately gets 4 stops of stabilization, sometimes more - and the STM is essential for video. I already have a 17-55 f/2.8 IS, which is a great lens, but it's terrible for video because the autofocus in live-view mode is very loud.

Also, this is a crop (APS-C 1.6x) body, and the 18-135 is a crop lens. Those who say otherwise - maybe they misunderstand what cropping is in the context of DSLRs? The idea is that the traditional 24x36mm full-frame is the baseline size, and anything smaller is "cropped". Using an EF-S lens (designed for APS-C) on an EF-S body doesn't make it non-cropped. For example, if you put a 30mm full-frame lens on a body with a APS-C cropped sensor, the image would look exactly the same as if you put a 30mm EF-S lens on that body. (The difference is that the full-frame lens has a larger image circle, but all that extra image area is unused by the small APS-C sensor. In that sense, the image from the FF lens is more "cropped" than the image from the EF-S lens, but that's not what the term means in the context of DSLRs.)
