While it doesn't stand out particularly, the Canon EOS Rebel T5 does produce nice photos typical of its price class, its performance isn't bad, and it has a comfortable design
The feature set is limited, even by entry-level standards
While it's a perfectly fine camera when you're making the jump from a point-and-shoot, there are better choices than the Canon EOS Rebel T5....
Canon has done a good job of producing a DSLR camera for novice users. The EOS1200D is easy to operate, works well in auto mode and, with the aid of the Canon EOS Companion app, capable of providing the assistance novice users need to ease them from simpl...
Slow focusing in Live View, No touchscreen, No WiFi/NFC
Probably the most interesting thing about the new EOS 1200D is the accompanying app for iOS and Android. That said, Nikon offers something similar in its D3300 directly in the camera, so it may be a little frustrating to some that you need to download so...

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
The bottom line with the EOS 1200D is that it's not a digital SLR camera to go for if you are looking for anything more than a beginner's model. Its relatively simplistic controls and no frills physical design are no match for experienced hands, but they...
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 cam...
Abstract: While you would probably attach the neck strap for those occasions when you are wandering around for hours taking images I preferred it without it when I was removing it from my bag to take images and then moving on.The hand grip on the right side is comf...

Over the last few years the camera industry has undergone some turbulent changes. Though most of Canon's competitors have been desperate just to stay above water, Canon has been leveraging its advantage as the top selling brand by keeping things steady. H...

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 Canon EOS 1200D holds enough weight to keep the entry-level DSLR market relevant, although with compact system cameras adding an additional option it's not as cut and dry as it once was. If you want to use the rear LCD screen to take pictures t...
