Unboxing - Canon EOS Rebel T4i (Won on QuiBids)
**The Body of the Camera: A Closer Look**
We're here to take a closer look at the body of this camera, which can be purchased on its own without the lens for $8.49. This is not too crazy, considering the features and capabilities that come with it. As we mentioned earlier, one of the main differences between this camera and the T3i is the autofocus system. However, I believe the image sensor is also better in this camera, which is definitely a plus.
**Touchscreen: A Game-Changer**
One of the standout features of this camera is its touchscreen interface. I've seen a lot of people online say that they appreciate the touch screen on this thing more than they thought they would, and I have to agree. It's not just a gimmick; it's actually very useful for adjusting settings like white balance and previewing your shots. The screen itself is soft and gentle to the touch, with a nice tactile response that makes it easy to navigate.
**The Body: A Nice Size**
The body of this camera is pretty good size, but it can be a bit hard to hold onto without the lens attached. However, I don't think anyone would complain about its weight; at least not me! If you're someone who likes a little extra grip on your camera, you might consider adding some accessories like a battery grip or a lens attachment.
**Additional Features**
This camera also comes with some nice additional features that make it stand out from the crowd. For one thing, it has an HDMI output, which is perfect for connecting to an external monitor or projector. It also has a mini USB port, which makes it easy to transfer files or charge your camera on the go. And if you're someone who likes to add some extra accessories to their gear, you might be interested in the flip-out screen, which provides an unobstructed view of the LCD.
**T4i vs. T3i: What's the Difference?**
One of the main differences between this camera and the T3i is the presence of a dedicated video button near the power switch. This is definitely a nice feature for videographers, as it makes it easy to start recording without having to navigate through menus. Additionally, this camera supports external microphones, which means you can get high-quality audio even when shooting in challenging environments.
**Conclusion**
Overall, I'm extremely excited about this camera and all the features it has to offer. From its touchscreen interface to its additional features like HDMI output and mini USB port, this is definitely a camera that will help take your photography or videography to the next level. I'll be sharing more content soon, including a demo video of this camera in action, as well as an updated tour of my gear.

site which I really really really appreciate so I try now and then for the T3i or T4i either one more so the T4i even though it's less common but it's getting more and more common andway getting to the point I was playing for this on QuiBids late last week at 4:00 in the morning I was watching the office I had my MacBook P out there on my little coffee table I kept glancing you know watching the office laughing Michael Scott all that good stuff cuz I freaking love that show and then I looked down Double Take I see a subwoofer which is my icon as you can see and there's my name David fro I

and for $625 6205 once it shipped and got here it was like $72 or maybe $70 either way this is normally $949 with the stock LS which it has but I got it for 62 bucks it is that crazy I'm just freaking out here because I cannot believe how lucky I got I have been trying for this thing for the longest time as well as a T3i again and I just can't believe it so for proof here's the auction page um I spent 0 on the actual bids as you can see right here zero real it says but I spent 53 voucher bids equaling to spending 0 but actually paying 6205 so in the end I um saved $887 194 now why am I going

it's always good to have EOS digital software instruction manual it's always pretty cool maybe I'm usually used well I am that the manual is on a dis nowadays and speaking of manual we we still get a very thick manual this is a warranty card I believe this comes with a one-year warranty through Canon which I will be doing is this is not a cheap camera uh so if something happens I want it to be covered obviously and further digging into the box this is brand new by the way as you can see from the plastic uh here's a 650d manual by the way it's called 6 650d in certain parts of uh the world but in the US it's T4i so here we go very thick check it out still taking down that water I'm not going to stop this unboxing just because of a sore throat this is a dealer record of Canon purchase now this is warranty too I have to look into this either way I'm going to register it online I don't really send these things in but we'll see what happens oh by the way um if you guys do have any recommendations for accessories or lenses or battery grips or anything like that please comment below because this will not be only used for video but I'm going to get into photography again and I'm really really excited because I don't know if you know but I used to be really really into photography but then I sold my Rebel XT years ago for money towards a T3i or T2i at the time it it just never worked out obviously but here we are okay you do get a cannon strap bam power cord nothing fancy but required battery charger a very big battery charger I should say oh by the way I am buying myself a manual a manual a tutorial guide photography tips kind of book I had the Scott Kelby tips book which is awesome but unfortunately it hasn't been updated in a few years and honestly I gave it to my mom cuz she just got a bridge camera from Canon which she's loving by the way I actually have an unboxing on that just actually click below uh the video for the link whoa battery slippage the battery for the T4i for those wondering that's already showing is the lp E8 so if you're wondering about how to buy spares just go to amazon.com search LP as in little pe's I could have gone another way there E8 as in extra eight the number eight yes I'm really going in depth in this unboxing this is a big big deal to me so I am taking my time a mini USB cable which I don't think I'll be using cuz I have an SD card reader actually which is right here speaking of SD card reader I do have an SD card coming tomorrow 32 GB class 10 um in my experience class 10 is the best kind of card to go with now is especially you know with all the data you'll be processing with video this is the stock lens very cool 18 to 55 mm which again is not amazing so don't get too excited about this um but if you're serious about photography which I hope to get into too uh I mean which I hope to be very soon and especially for video I will be upgrading to a better lens very very soon so again if you have any lens recommendations post below it would be awesome and if you happen to work with the lens company contact me and maybe I can do a product review so taking out the lens cap there's the lens very nice oh and yes I will be using this for YouTube videos I don't just mean video in general but I mean YouTube videos so expect a huge bump in quality especially the fact that I can now use accessories with this thing in terms of external mics by the way I have a road mic I think a stereo Road mic on my wish list that's just for my personal reminder to buy but I will be buying that very soon oh and I do have a bag coming tomorrow along with the SD card from lowpro I love lowpro I have one two I only have two other bags but this this will be my third one Low Pro is great all right finally I know the new viewers are probably are like who the hell is this guy why why does he talk so much because I love life that's why all right here we go this is the body which can be bought by itself without the lens for $8.49 so that's not too crazy oh in case you're wondering about the big differences from this over the T3i uh the main difference is as far as I can tell is it does have autofocus I believe the image sensor is better it has a touchcreen which is not gimmicky just a note there because I've seen a lot of people saying it's gimmicky I mean I haven't used it yet but I have a touchcreen on this camera that I'm recording with right now and I can't imagine not using it I mean to adjust the white balance and just everything being on the screen and no you don't really see the smudges once the screen is on So and I've seen a lot of people say that online so saying that they appreciate the touchcreen on this thing more than they thought they would which makes me feel good cuz I'm I'm obviously a big believer and touch screens here we go nice soft cloth nice little touch and let me move up by the way my office is almost done so I will be showing you guys a tour very soon here is the body bam pretty good size it's kind of hard to hold right now cuz the lens isn't in there but I'm not going to put it in yet I will after the video on as side we do have HDMI out as well as your mini USB port flip out screen by the way it's pretty light uh but if you do want to add grip to your DS Solari I mean if it's too light for you cuz I do like a little bit of weight um obviously you can put a lens on it you kind of have to but a bigger lens or a battery grip I've her battery grips are pretty sweet for not only extended battery life obviously but um increased weight so okay wow yes I'm having a nerd gasm already this screen is very very tight in a good way getting emails very nice this is a huge feature for me so if I'm recording myself well I can see myself and that's a huge huge deal for YouTubers like myself so let's close that again here's a shot of the back um side shot from the front here's the dial up here oh by the way T4i difference from the T3i is that it does have a dedicated video button near the power switch which is awesome there's your adapter um and that is it oh it does have external mic support obviously this is a DSLR which I'm really really excited about so that's going to be great because I know when you autofocus with a camera with a stock lens or a camera not built for autofocusing you can hear the motor unfortunately but if you use an external mic you won't hear the motor noise or you can get one one of those new lenses uh which I still to do research on which don't make M no are very little at that so if you guys can't tell I mean I am super stoked and I never say stoked I don't think I've ever said that in a video but my God I am this is going to be amazing this is going to be so freaking awesome and once again all
