The editors didn't like
Fixed LCD. Pentamirror viewfinder. Slower autofocus. Burst shooting limited to 3fps. Small buffer when shooting Raw. No microphone input
Affordable, well built, capable of professional looking results for a budget price, intuitive operation
Fixed LCD screen only, no builtin wireless connectivity, maximum capture speed is modest if you're attempting action shots
Whilst the 18 megapixel EOS 1200D might not offer all the bells and whistles of models higher up the range such as a tilting and swiveling LCD screen, it is possible to get professional looking results out of it if daring to stray from the auto everything...
When compared with the Canon EOS 100D, Nikon D3300 and Pentax K-5, the Canon EOS 1200D does not exactly overwhelm in terms of specification, and neither does it excel in any given area. However, the current RRP of this camera is £349.99 body only, so it i...
Slow focusing in Live View, No touchscreen, No Wi, Fi/NFC
Canon has once again produced a reliable camera capable of creating some beautiful images. If you're in the market for your first DSLR and you're fine with a no-frills purchase, then the 1200D is a great option. If you have a little more money to spend, ...
Good stills with classic Canon image style, Good for DSLR newbies on a budget, Decent 1080/30p videos
Noisy shutter mechanism, Even though new, seems like old technology, Doesn't handle high ISOs well, No Wi-Fi
For what it is and whom it's intended for, the T5 is a decent camera. We wouldn't go out of our way to recommend it, especially since there are less expensive options available like the recently reviewed, lighter weight Sony Alpha A5000 . Sure, it doesn...

Abstract: It's been a full three years since Canon last put out an entry-level DSLR camera, but in 2014 it's back in business with the EOS 1200D. The replacement for 2011's 1100D, the 1200D is all about the balance of price to performance. Three years has seen the...
Sturdy body, Large 18-megapixel sensor, Handy companion app
Modest burst shooting speed, Non-tilting (fixed) LCD, No wireless connectivity
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 con...
Competitive price, Excellent high ISO performance, Clever and useful EOS companion app, Easy to use
Autofocus struggles in live view, Few AF points, Slow burst mode, Low resolution LCD
Despite a slightly lacklustre specification, the Canon EOS 1200D delivers a superb first-time DSLR experience. For an extraordinarily competitive price you get a lot of solid under-the-bonnet features like superb native ISO performance, a solid metering s...
The Canon 1200D SLR is a perfect entry level camera and will keep you snapping happy for years to come. If Canon had just allowed external microphones on this one it would be an industry killer but for now it still sits in that strange level between point...
