Ranked by T3 magazine as the best DSLR on the market, the Canon EOS 650D has only been released in the market for 2 months, but here’s your opportunity to get your hands on this sought-after DSLR and twin lens kit, thanks to Group Deal!
You may not notice many physical differences to the EOS 600D at first glance. They’re both equipped with 18MP CMOS sensor, a 3” LCD and is of similar weight and size. However, Canon has installed many high-end features into the Canon EOS 650D like never before. You will be so impressed by its new powerful features that you may be enticed to upgrade your camera.
First Entry Level DSLR with DIGIC 5
The Canon EOS 650D is the first Canon entry level DSLR that is equipped with the DIGIC 5 processor. It is said to be 6 times faster and has 75% more noise reduction than the DIGIC 4 (in 600D). This means by comparison, the 650D is more capable at taking pictures at a 5fps burst rate while simultaneously sustaining the image quality. In addition, it also analyses four times more image information to record more details and colour.
AF 9-point Cross-type System
The 650D has inherited this AF system from the higher end Canon EOS 60D SLR that many people loved. Although the numbers of AF points are identical to the 600D, the Canon EOS 650D uses a Cross-type system. This enables a much better focus which allows the centre AF points to gain sensitivity even with apertures up to f/2.8.
Hybrid AF System
Canon has taken great pains to make this camera not only a high performer in still shots but also a high performer in video recording. The Canon EOS 650D uses the Hybrid AF system that enables continuous auto-focus tracking while recording. This feature is made possible via a new sensor technology by which some pixels are dedicated to phase-detection AF (used in SLRS) and others to contrast detection AF (used in video cameras). The Hybrid AF function is available in all lenses and can be further enhanced by Canon’s STM lens.
First DSLR with Touch Screen
Apart from the 3” vari-angle LCD screen like its predecessor, like its predecessor but with touchscreen features! It enables you to control the settings without fiddling with buttons. This feature provides user a degree of convenience especially when in playback mode. Users can zoom in and out just like using their smartphones.
The Canon EOS 650D has a number of fantastic features and upgrades. The camera’s high performance would enable a beginner to take pictures and even videos like a pro. For those who wants to kick-start with SLR cameras or even if you are only looking for an upgrade, this is your only chance! Don’t pay up to $1,499 in some places. For just $890.00, you can have this Canon EOS 650D 18-55mm IS II kit with an additional Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS II telephoto lens delivered to you. Delivery is via express courier from Hong Kong and should take between 3- 5 working days after full payment is received.
