However, on average it is significantly more noisy at high ISO (681 ISO vs 1,338 ISO), has significantly lower image quality (61.0 vs 82.0), records higher quality movies (1080p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 60fps), has much less color depth (21.7 bits vs 24 bits) and has much narrower dynamic range (11.2 EV vs 13.2 EV).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon T5i compared to pro DSLR competitors include: it has a touch screen, has a screen which flips out, has in-camera HDR, can focus continuously while recording movies and focuses automatically while shootting video (contrast detection vs none).
However, on average it is slightly more noisy at high ISO (681 ISO vs 2,340 ISO), has slightly lower image quality (61.0 vs 82.0), has much less color depth (21.7 bits vs 22.5 bits), has slightly narrower dynamic range (11.2 EV vs 11.7 EV) and significantly smaller viewfinder (0.53x vs 0.71x).
