"Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to introduce a new flagship model to its popular EOS Rebel line, the EOS Rebel T5i Digital SLR Camera. The incredible image quality and performance starts with an 18 megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor and Canon's superb DIGIC 5 Image Processor. Combined with an extensive ISO range of 100-12800 (expandable to 25600 in H mode), the EOS Rebel T5i boasts crisp, detailed images, even in low-light conditions. With a continuous shooting speed of up to 5.0 frames per second (fps) united with 9 all cross-type AF focus points, the new EOS Rebel T5i allows photographers the opportunity to shoot with ease, even in challenging shooting situations.
When shooting in Live View mode, the Hybrid CMOS AF system enables speedy and accurate autofocus for photos and video. Coupled with Canon's new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, available in the standard kit lens bundle, the EOS Rebel T5i takes full advantage of the Stepping Motor (STM) technology, which allows the lens to smoothly and silently focus on the subject whether it is moving or standing still. When combined with the camera's high-resolution Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II and intuitive touch controls, the EOS Rebel T5i stands as Canon's most "consumer-friendly" DSLR."

Woo hoo - a new rebel
whatever happened to the new 70D or a 7D upgrade?
Briefly, they are still coming.
The 7D replacement was delayed, so Canon introduced the rather significant improvements to the 7D firmware 2.0.x series and extended the production cycle (and the 7D appears to still sell pretty well).
A tremendous amount of R&D was probably temporarily shifted towards the "professional" line and semi-pro 5D line, culminating in the Canon 1D X and 1D C, the 5D MKIII and the newly created "Canon Cinema" line with the C100, C300 and C500 bodies.
Then, almost under the public radar, the Canon stepper-motor (STM) AF technology had to be merged in to all the latest bodies, which I'm betting didn't go as smoothly as consumers assume. While some of the control signals probably use a similar protocol to the USM AF motor technology, I'm betting that the fine AF control and continuous AF control are completely different. (Stepper motors for dSLR AF control is still very much in its infancy.)
