Canon T5i Sample Images

The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is In Stock at H and B Digital

Here are some sample images taken with the just-released Canon EOS Rebel T5i with the all-new 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit lens.  The T5i is now available in several configurations at HandBDigital.com.  All of the below photos are JPEGs taken right out of the camera with minimal post-processing (crops are noted).

You can read more about the T5i at www.camerastorenyc.com.

Canon T5i with 18-55mm STM Lens Sample Image
Very good and accurate colors right out of the camera, with very good metering.  Canon T5i with 18-55mm IS STM lens.  1/500 sec. at f/5.6, ISO 100, in Av mode, minimal crop, no post process. 

Canon T5i with 18-55mm STM Lens Sample Image
Excellent colors directly out of the camera.  1/200 sec. at f/5.6, ISO 100, at 50mm, in Av mode, no crop.

Canon T5i with 18-55mm STM Lens Sample Image
Minimum focal distance is less than 10 inches; this taken at one foot away.  Very good color representation and contrast.  1/640 sec. at f/5.6, ISO 100, at 55mm, in Av Mode.

The STM lens is very quick focusing.  1/1250 sec. at f/5.6, ISO 200, at 35mm.

Canon T5i with 18-55mm STM Lens Sample Image
You'll want to consider another lens if you're expecting to zoom in on subjects.  Consider the excellent Canon 55-250mm AF-S IS.  The above was cropped about 60%, and detail is not bad considering such crop.  1/200 sec. at f/9, ISO 100, at 55mm.

Canon T5i with 18-55mm STM Lens Sample Image
Very good metering considering the bright light and difficult yellows.  1/640 sec. at f/4, ISO 400, at 32mm.

The T5i and the kit lens are capable of taking some very sharp images!  1/800 sec. at f/5.6, ISO 200, at 55mm, about 2 feet from the flower.

Canon T5i with 18-55mm STM Lens Sample Image
Bokeh (background blur) is pleasant enough with the 18-55mm STM kit lens.  1/400 sec. at f/5.6, ISO 200.
Canon T5i with 18-55mm STM Lens Sample Image
Another nice sharp shot, and excellent handling of the difficult bright red colors.  1/125 sec. at f/5.6, ISO 100, 1.5 feet from subject.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm Zoom Lens Spring Sample Images

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Spring Sample Images

Below are several sample images taken in Central Park, New York City, on Saturday, April 6, 2013, with the excellent Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens.

On a APS-C sensor body, such as the Canon 7D (with which the photos were taken) or a Canon Rebel, the 55-250mm becomes a versatile 88-400mm (35-mm equivalent).

As you will see, the lens is capable of producing some fantastic results, particularly given its relatively low price of $299.  This is a great and economical way to get nature and animal/birding photos or to zoom in on portraits.
