Live View remains almost unusably slow, just like the old days. While the camera can sustain a continuous-shooting rate of 3.1 frames per second for an effectively unlimited number of JPEG images but only 6 when shooting raw, the Servo AI mode (Canon's tracking autofocus, for focusing on moving subjects) and autofocus system delivers more misses than hits in a lot of situations. The flash recycles reasonably quickly, with 0.8-second between flash shots. It actually fares pretty well when it comes to a couple of consecutive shots, with only about about 0.4-second lag between shots, either raw or JPEG (at 0.45-second, raw barely misses rounding down). But when you use all the points, you run the risk of it not focusing where you want. In adequate light it's OK at 0.3-second, but in dim light it's quite slow and in practice frequently has trouble focusing on anything other than complete autofocus where it uses all the autofocus points. It takes about half a second to power on, focus, and shoot typical for Canon's low-end models and not as slow as mirrorless competitors, but still not terribly zippy. The much older Rebel T3i is about the same price and delivers identical single-shot speed and better burst performance. Is the camera fast enough for typical kids-'n'-pets photography? More or less: generally only if they're not moving really fast or really erratically, and if the light's not terribly dim. That happens with the D3200, too, but in lower light.

It does seem to have a slightly narrower tonal range than other models JPEG photos look good up to ISO 400, at which point you'll start to see blotchy blacks when lighting get low. The T5's photo quality ranks as typical for an entry-level dSLR in this respect, all APS-C sensor-size cameras at this price deliver about the same image quality.

It kills me that Canon will (or already has) phased out the T3i to deliver a worse camera at the same price, though I also understand that dropping all those useful features is the only way to preserve shrinking margins on inexpensive cameras.īut where it counts, even the last-generation Nikon D3200 is better overall than the T5 for the same money. It's a perfectly OK entry-level dSLR, but the T3i (which you can find for $500, £425, or AU$549) delivers the same photo and video quality, has identical or better performance, and has superior features, including a higher-resolution flip-and-twist LCD and a bigger viewfinder.
