I received a Best Buy gift card for writing this post. All opinions are, as always, 100% my own.
I’ll admit it. I have camera envy.
On press trips over the past few months, I’ve watched blogger after blogger clicking away on their Canon EOS Rebel T5i while I’m either lamely pointing and shooting or trying to get a decent shot on my phone.
When I checked out their photos, they were so sharp and so much more vivid than mine.
So, after my last trip, I headed to Best Buy – where we always buy our electronics – to check out the Canon.
Here’s what I found out:
The Canon EOS Rebel T5i is one of the best-selling DSLR cameras. DSLR stands for Digital Single-Lens Reflex and there’s a whole lot of complicated tech stuff I don’t really understand about it but it means you can take photos whose image quality is exceptional.
Because it’s considered a starter DSLR, it’s perfect for me – and probably for you. It makes advanced photography easy, and offers a host of features to enhance personal creative expression, including:
* Capture Hollywood caliber full HD video
* Continuous autofocus while taking HD video
* Features an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 5 image processor to ensure vivid, crystal-clear images.
* The 3″ vari-angle touch screen simplifies navigation.
Best of all, the Canon EOS Rebel T5i is $150 off at Best Buy starting today through December 20. Hint, hint, Michael.

This is a fantastic camera – I would love for this camera to be under our tree with my name on it!
I wonder if Santa is going to bring me a new Canon EOS Rebel T5i for Christmas… I have tried bieng a very good girl,… so maybe I have a chance.
I own a Canon DSLR and I just LOVE it! I can’t wait to get another because I’m planning on upgrading. Will check out Best Buy when it’s time to buy it.
If you get one before I do Amanda let me know how you like it.
This is the camera I would LOVE to get for christmas! The pictures look so real, like I was there!
We always buy our electronics at Best Buy too. Their sales people actually know about the products they sell. Something you can’t take for granted these days, alas. This is the first time I’ve seen the hashtag #hintingseason. Great idea, whoever came up with it.
I love going there because I can tell them what I want whatever it is to do for me & they show me what I want. I’m so not a techy, LOL.
I really love this camera and all the add ons, I’m in the market for one!
I want to upgrade my Ti3 to this Ti5 so badly. I just got my Ti3 last year as an early Christmas gift, so I have a feeling Santa won’t be bringing me this camera 🙁
I could so use a new camera this year. Looks like the hubs is getting sent to Best Buy! 😉
Adding to my list and telling Santa to check it twice! Thanks for the great information on this camera. I’ve looked at it a few times now.
I would love to have a camera like this one for taking pictures of my family during the holidays. It looks like it takes beautiful photos.
I just bought this camera and love it. So easy to use and get great photos.
I absolutely LOVE my Canon 3ti! I’ve had it about three years now. Considering that coupon, though, it just might be time for an upgrade!
I am not sure when I will need an upgrade for my camera but I do love the new features that these cameras have.
I need a new camera in the worst way. I hear so many great things about Canons!
I have a canon 2ti and want something new. This looks like an excellent choice!
This camera looks amazing and I’m sure that it takes some great pictures. I am looking for a great camera to take family photos with.
I need a new camera, too! This one sounds perfect.
Best Buy has such a great selection of electronics. I would love a Cannon some day
I want camera envy too! lol I want that camera for Christmas but I don’t think it will happen =( I would have to be able to take nice pictures like the ones I see other bloggers take.
I always wanted a high end Canon dslr, but when I purchased mine, I ended up with a Nikon (less cost plus additional lens) – I love it!
I have a Canon and absolutely love it! I don’t think you can go wrong with this camera.
My husband is a canon guy – so this looks intriguing.
I am hoping this camera is wrapped under our tree with my name on it! I have been hinting to my hubby!
I am pretty sure this is the camera I want. Love all the features
I have to send Santa a link to this page. I so-ooo hope I get my own from Santa this year.
I bought the newest version of my fave CAnon point and shoot and it was AWFUL. The photos were never clear and the whole process lame. My local camera shop refused to take it back, too. I am using my old one but will check this out and buy from BB…
I have a Canon G15 and I love it. I’m always afraid to take that next step, DSLR. It would become a different world for me underwater…a very, very expensive one!
I LOOOOOVE my canon camera. When I get another, it will also be a canon.
These look so great! I love best buy and checking out all the new gadgets!
I love shopping at Best Buy for everyone on my shopping list. They have everything we need, including the camera I want…
I have to admit I would be totally over the moon if I got this camera this Christmas – what a great sounding gift 🙂 x
I can’t even find my current camera, which means I pretty much need this one.
So many people are writing about this camera. Clearly, I need to get to Best Buy and check it out!
this is the camera on my wish list, no doubt about it going to check the price now.
I need a camera with wifi and a nice lens this year. Thanks for the ideas!
I am just crushing over this camera so much! I really want it!
I love my Canon Rebel! It’s super easy to use.
Best Camera EVER……and I want one under my tree!!
I so need a DSLR! I hope Santa brings me a Canon for Christmas 🙂
I love that this camera can record in HD. I will definitely look at it when I’m at the store next time
Best Buy has such a great selection of cameras and other electronics. Great place to shop!
I am a Nikon lover but this camera is a great camera too! Such a good price! Go Best Buy!!
I love Best Buy, I always got there for my electronic devices; their cameras look awesome!
i like that it maintains a continuous auto focus when you’re taking video. This is a nice looking camera too.
I love Best Buy! The offer so many great gifts for anyone of any age!
I just bought a Nikon camera a few weeks ago from Best Buy. Next, we are probably going to get my daughter a Canon camera from Best Buy also!
We seriously considered a Canon from Best Buy when we were camera shopping, but ended up with a Nikon. However, I think we would have been just as pleased with the Canon had we settled on that. I’ve seen some amazing photos online that were taken with Canon.
I have one Canon camera bought few years ago, and I really want a new one for Christmas. Checking for good deals these days.
Cameras with Wifi must be amazing. I know Canon is a superior brand and I would love to have one.
I am a huge fan of Best Buy, I always make sure to see what deals they have going on; they have great cameras!
I have been drooling over this camera! I love best buy- in fact I am asking for best buy gift cards for Christmas so I can buy one myself.
I need a new camera and this is one of the ones that I have my eye on.
I remember my first canon that I bought years ago and how excited I was because it had 8 megapixels. This is great and I love that it has great video quality too!
I have a canon DSLR….I think it might be this one. Still trying to learn my way around it
Canon’s are where it’s at. I love how user friendly they are!
Nix that apostrophe. Can you tell it’s late? Ha!
That looks like a really nice camera. I wish I would have seen this soon. I recently bought a camera and I love it. It is also a Canon.
I’m in the market for a new camera. I am hoping to get one on sale! I’ll have to keep my eye on this one.
I have added this camera to my wish list every year and every year Santa seems to forget. LOL This is my dream camera.
Sounds like the perfect gift to get me for Christmas!
Great find. My husband is a canon guy for sure.
Phew! I finally made it past all of the wonderful comments!
I loooooove cameras. My friend who is a cinematographer displays her in a showcase in her home, beginning with an old “brownie”!!
I love photos, so this camera looks perfect. Gotta run. Heading out to BestBuy. Gary’s birthday tomorrow! 🙂
