Having upgraded my equipment recently, I want to sell my "old" outfit, my Canon T4i acquired in 2012,
including the kit lens (18-55mm) it came with as well as a couple of other lenses I acquired to use with it but no longer need.
The camera works just fine, even shoots 1080p video; I just wanted something more sophisticated.
I'm not certain I made the right choice, yet... but the die has been cast, as they say!

All equipment currently works perfectly, and is in like new condition.

They are all exactly the same camera.

The review of the T4i at Steve's digicam concluded in 2012:
(http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-r ... n-211.html)

Bottom Line - The Canon EOS Digital Rebel T4i is the latest (2012) introductory dSLR in the EOS line. Canon has made sure that this is one of the highest quality entry level dSLR cameras on the market with an 18-Megapixel CMOS imaging sensor, DIGIC 5 processor, Vari-Angle 3.0-inch touch screen LCD, and one of the first dSLRs to offer continuous AF video recording. These are just a few of the amazing features found within this class-leading camera. Image quality and performance are also excellent, surpassing that of the previous Digital Rebel models. With a MSRP of...US$849.00 for just the T4i body only, it is not the cheapest entry level dSLR on the market, but you will get your money's worth with it - and it's perfect for a first dSLR or for upgrading from a previous model.

This is an outstanding entry-level digicam.
Pick This Up If...
You are looking to make the jump to a dSLR or upgrade an existing entry-level dSLR camera. With a slightly higher price than most other entry level units, you will receive better performance and image quality, truly getting what you pay for.

For DP Review's assessment of the T4i and its current successor, the T5i,

and here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-e ... -rebel-t5i
According to DP Review:

"June 2013: The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i replaces the very short-lived Canon EOS 650D / T4i but is almost indistinguishable from it in terms of design, operation and specification. Our tests have found the image quality and performance of both cameras to be identical and they use the same batteries and accessories as well. Accordingly, this review is a very slightly modified version of the EOS 650 / T4i review we posted in the summer of 2012. We've retained product images of the EOS 650D / T4i where there's no meaningful change in design, and except where indicated, any comments in the body of this review which reference the Canon EOS 650D / T4i are equally relevant to the Canon EOS 700D / T5i and vis-versa."

In other words, there was very little in the T5i to make it worth upgrading to!
