Product Description
Full Description and Break Down of 1200D Camera Spec
Shoot photos and video with a quality and character all of their own. 18-megapixel images from the EOS 1200D are packed with detail and are large enough to be printed at sizes up to A2+. Videos have a professional look and feel that looks great played back on your home HDTV.
Canon has a long heritage of producing some of the very best entry-level DSLR on the market, with a combination of ease of use and comprehensive functionality that made them a hit with those making the step up to DSLR photography.
In recent times, however, Canon's entry level DSLRs have come under increasing competition - firstly from an increase in both quantity and quality of entry-level DSLRs from other manufacturers, but also from a growing number of compact system cameras which offer similar feature sets in increasingly smaller bodies.
On the whole Canon has held its position near the top of the entry-level tree thanks to continuous innovation, and the Canon EOS 1200D looks like being no different.
The model features an 18MP CMOS sensor and 1080p HD video capture, as well as debuting with Canon's new EOS Companion app. But is it enough to cement the range's impressive entry-level status?
Canon EOS 1200D Review - front view
Canon EOS 1200D (EOS Rebel T5) Review - Features
The camera's predecessor, the Canon EOS 1100D, was - and still is - one of the most popular entry-level DSLRs going, although however good it was there were certainly areas for improvement.
One such area was the rear of the camera, with the 1100D featuring a 230k-dot 2.7in display that was dated even at the point of launch.
Canon has addressed this with a new 460k-dot, 3in TFT LCD now featuring. Unfortunately the LCD screen doesn't feature touch functionality, nor vari-angle technology, although for a DSLR in this price range that's not hugely surprising.
One of the major benefits of opting to go with Canon for your entry-level DSLR comes in the form on the accompanying optics. The 1200D forms a off-the-shelf kit with Canon's 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens complete with built-in image stabilisation.
The kit lens is just the start of the story, however, as the main benefit is the sheer amount of lenses in the Canon eco-system - from affordable ‘next-step' optics, to bargains, all of which will be available to you should you opt for Canon.
Canon EOS 1200D Review - sensorSensor improvements
Another area that sees the 1200D make a major improvement on its predecessor is with regards to the camera's sensor. The model features a new 18MP chip that builds substantially on the 12.2MP count of the 1100D.
Although the megapixel count is higher, the physical size of the sensor remains the same, while the 1200D also retains the same DIGIC 4 image processor.
