Canon has just announced a follow up to the highly successful Canon Rebel T4i – the new 2013 Canon Rebel T5i! It will retail for $749 (body only), $899 for the kit with EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS (New Lens), and $1099 kit with the EF-S18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM.
Canon also announced the PowerShot SX280 HS – why do we care? Well, it has:
12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor combined with the new DIGIC 6 Image Processor creates the Canon HS SYSTEM for improved low-light performance up to ISO 6400 and enhanced image quality.
So, Canon has put the newest processor they have in the new Powershot – but not in the Canon Rebel T5i or the new Canon EOS Rebel SL1 (see other release)
