Canon EOS 1200D Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 III Lens

Product Information

In use, we found that the Evaluative metering mode provided fairly good exposures with a variety of subjects, thanks to the 63-zone metering sensor. When light gets low, the Used Canon 1200D boosts sensitivity to light so your pictures stay sharp and you are able to reduce the need to use flash. It may look an enticing prospect for beginners, but that all means nothing if the camera’s performance doesn’t stack up.

The difference between Canon (and Nikon) and the others is that Sony, Olympus and Pentax have opted for stabilisation via the camera body, rather than the lens, which therefore works with their entire range of lenses. The EOS Rebel T5, or 1200D as it’s known outside of North America, is Canon’s latest entry-level DSLR.The latter can be set to either raise the flash or, if you don’t plan on using the built-in flash, assigned to manual ISO sensitivity setting. That said, Nikon offers something similar in its D3300 directly in the camera, so some may find it a little frustrating that you have to download something extra to be guided through the camera and its key functionality. The EOS T5 / 1200D is capable of continuous shooting at 3fps and should maintain that rate for 69 large fine JPEGs or 6 RAW fles. Indeed the shutter release button is set into place at the top of the handgrip at a comfortably sloped angle, with a ridged command wheel sitting just behind.

The dimensions – 130x100x78mm are the same to within a fraction of a millimetre and the new model is a mere 15g lighter.Beyond some very minor design modifications and some slight re-arranging of the controls, the EOS T5 / 1200D looks almost identical to the earlier T3 / 1100D. The Canon EOS Companion is available for both Android and iOS and teaches you basic photographic concepts, such as depth-of-field composition. The Canon EOS 1200D has 2 different JPEG file quality settings available, including Fine and Normal, with Fine being the higher quality option.
