A tradition of inexpensive excellence continues with this fast-focusing, low-noise, 5-fps starter DSLR
Canon’s EOS Rebels have long been a safe bet for anyone looking for a relatively inexpensive DSLR with plenty of bang for the buck. The newest top Rebel, the 18MP EOS T5i ($899, street, with 18–55 f/3.5–5.6 EF-S IS STM lens), boasts ISOs up to 25,600, 5-frames-per-second bursts, and a 3-inch, 1.04 million-dot articulating LCD screen. Its hybrid autofocus system has nine traditional cross-type points, plus phase-detection points built into the CMOS sensor that work with Canon’s STM lenses, whose stepping motors allow for quiet continuous AF during video capture.
