Canon Rumors posted what they claim are the specs for the Canon T4i, the successor to the company’s entry-level T3i. And judging from the rumored numbers, any improvements made won’t be quantifiable.

The leak says that the sensor will still be an 18-megapixel APS-C sensor, and video will still be a 1080p at 24 or 30 frames, and 720p at 60 frames. The upper end of the ISO has reportedly received a bump, going from 6400 to 12800, and the max going from 12800 to 25600, so that could suggest improved low light performance. But apparently, it still shoots natively in 3:2, still has a 3-inch LCD, and still has 9-point Autofocus.

Granted, even if the numbers are the same, performance could still be much improved if a new generation of sensors and image processors are implemented. But we’ll have to wait for the official announcement to see if that’s the case. Complete rumored specs are below, for your perusal.

Update: Canon Rumors also posted videos of an alleged Canon T4i with a touchscreen UI. Looks pretty smooth.
