Despite its age, the T4i is highly regarded for several "firsts" that made it more user-friendly than its predecessors:
: At its launch in 2012, the T4i was priced significantly higher: Body Only : $849.99 With 18-55mm IS II Lens : $949.99 With 18-135mm IS STM Lens : $1,199.00
: Combined with STM (Stepping Motor) lenses , this system provides smoother, quieter autofocus during video—a major upgrade for vloggers at the time.
