Canon EOS 1200D review

This 18 megapixel EOS is a beginner's model that an expert wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with, or use. Yes, it's intuitive from the get go, so won't tax the uninitiated. At the same time it's easy to access manual settings and exert a bit of hands-on control over your shots rather than rely on the...

Sturdy body; Large 18-megapixel sensor; Handy companion app

Modest burst shooting speed; Non-tilting (fixed) LCD; No wireless connectivity

good for beginners

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

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

Stunning deal

I love my Canon. The bag is sturdy and attractive. I'm taking photography lessons from January 2015 to enable me to learn and get more out of this camera. Yet, I've taken about 500 photos up until now and only about 3 of them needed to be cropped in Photoshop.
