Canon's 18 megapixel APS-C format sensor incorporating EOS 1200D is an imaginative update of its 12 megapixel 1100D predecessor. The obvious pitch is that first time DSLR owners will be able to achieve more professional results straight out of the box, and with more pixels to do it with, via a...

Affordable; well built; capable of professional looking results for a budget price; intuitive operation

Fixed LCD screen only; no built-in wireless connectivity; maximum capture speed is modest if you're attempting action shots

The entry-level DSLR market has slowed in terms of product releases in recent years. Indeed it's taken three years for Canon to out the 1200D - that's Rebel T5 for our American friends - and while we don't mind waiting for the right kit to come along we do question whether the market has changed...

Decent viewfinder-based performance for entry-level product; impressive image quality throughout; huge range of EOS lenses available; competitive price

Live view is poor; JPEG processing is a little harsh; plasticky build; compact system cameras may undermine its existence; kit lens limitations

The 1200D is a superb option for photographers wishing to make the jump into the world of DSLR photography. The controls are simple and accessible, with a range of fully automatic shooting modes, and the EOS Companion app helps users get to know their camera.

I'm a big Canon fan ans have 3 eos cameras, photo qaulity is the best way to describe the 1200d like all the EOS range it is great. For beginners the hwlp guid for your mobile is unique. The downside is the video recording is slow in auto and best used by switching the lens to manual.

Down Load The Help Guid; Durable; Good In Low Light; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

Another Different Battery; Low-Quality Recordings

I bought this as a hobbie item and must say it lived up to my expectations. with no previous photographic experience i found it very easy to use. Picture quality great. now all i have to do is save up for some other lenses for it to feel like a real pro.

Great item; easy to use

I have been using this camera since 7 months now. It has been a great dslr for a beginner like me - super easy to use and maintain. Highly recommend.

I recently bought this camera using some of our wedding present vouchers from Peter Jones on Sloane Square and it is truly excellent. I've done quite a lot of photography and wanted to take it up a level, so I needed something easy to use, shooting high quality images of places, spaces and people.

excellent product for a very reasonable price the operation is also very convenient. Works great does exactly what it meeds to do, and you cant beat the price.Bought it for my mother. She loved it so much that she bought another for a friend. I am completely satisfied.

Canon's EOS 1200D camera is designed to get you started in the world of digital SLR photography, and is a sensible step up if you haven't used such a camera before and want to upgrade from a compact or phone device.

Inexpensive entry point into the Canon digital SLR ecosystem; Good overall picture quality; Relatively simple controls

Focus performance of 18-55mm kit lens was slow and sometimes innacurate; SD card slot in battery compartment

Canon's EOS 1200D, which was announced in February, replaces the previous entry-level DSLR model, the EOS 1100D . Although it's a relatively modest upgrade in most respects, most potential purchasers will welcome the increase in sensor resolution and support for Full HD movie recording at 30, 25 or...
