A t5i already? Didn't the t4i just get here?
The big new looks like the SL1, as a true dSLR to compete with mirrorless in terms of size.
I thought the T4i was just released! No slam against the big 2, but that is one reason I stick with my manufacturer. The others just confuse me with their numerous releases. How many 18mp cameras does it take to make an image.

And pretty much the same sensor in the t2i, t3i, t4i, t5i 60d and 7d. Some tweaks but its time to roll something out that can compete with the DR of the new Nikon Sensors.
I have said it before but if i didn't have money invested in Canon glass I would switch to Nikon.
Really hope the 70d has what i am looking for.
Sorry, have to say it... Those are Sony sensors in the Nikon. Lol.
I knew that. Didnt word it correctly. the DR is those sensors are pretty amazing.
Yes, the sensors rate very well. The same sensors perform better on Nikons than Sony, due to the translucent mirror taking some of the light.
And they are also used in my Pentax'.
Although, even Sony's mirrorless NEX don't generally rate quite as high as Nikon on DXO.Yes, the sensors rate very well. The same sensors perform better on Nikons than Sony, due to the translucent mirror taking some of the light.

There may be slight differences in the sensors because different sub models of sensors have different on chip phase detect AF pixels
Didn't realize that... it goes to show that the different brand dSLRs may indeed have some different strengths and weaknesses, but the differences are not night and day.
Though I am hearing more people complain about Canon sensors falling behind... It's still not as if the difference is that huge.
IMHO, as long as you compare cameras of like capabilities (APS-C to APS-C, FF to FF, etc.), in the real world there's probably a nickels difference between them. With today's cameras, lenses and the capability of the photographer make the difference. I see images here that make me drool with envy of the talent. Again this Is just my opinion.
Wanted to add to your post that the Nikon D5200 has a sensor that's also made by a different company... Toshiba. (NikonRumors; Chipworks page isn't working right now.)The Nikon1 sensor is made by a different company, Aptina..so not all Nikon's use Sony sensors.

Although it appears that Aptina is very grateful that Sony has validated the marketplace for 1" sensors with Sony's RX100.
