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

Product Information

Canon has also launched the 'EOS Companion app' to conincide with the new model, aimed at guiding DSLR beginners through their first DSLR. While the camera is clearly aimed at smartphone-savvy buyers, there's no Wi-Fi connectivity on-board - the app is purely for guidance, rather than linking up to the camera. Digital Terminal: Computer Communication, Direct Printing (Hi-Speed USB Equivalent), GPS Receiver, GP-E2 Connection The Canon EOS 1200D has 2 different JPEG file quality settings available, including Fine and Normal, with Fine being the higher quality option. Here are two 100% crops which show the quality of the two options. Fine (6.17Mb) (100% Crop) The tutorials and challenges are more interesting though, but that's something which could be used by any camera user, not just those who are working with the 1200D, so it's not particular to this model. It's a budget model that doesn't look cheap. It feels manageably lightweight in the hand, yet reassuringly solid with it.

Canon EOS 1200D - Expert Reviews

Peripheral Illumination Correction is an in-camera solution designed to reduce the effect of light fall-off in the image corners. It clearly works, as this example shows This concludes our evaluation of the EOS 1200D's ergonomics, handling, feature set and performance. Let's take a look at its Image Quality next. Full HD video recording is included, which means that the whole Canon DSLR line-up now has the capacity to record high resolution movies. You can also take full manual control of video recording, which is nice to see on an entry level model. Turn the shooting mode dial to the video setting, press the dedicated rear plate Live View button and you're ready to shoot video on the 1200D via a squeeze of the shutter release button.The biggest problem with the 1200D is that it's just not that exciting. Having waited for three years for an upgrade to the 1100D, it would have been nice to see some more audacious specs, such as built-in Wi-Fi, or perhaps a higher resolution sensor.

A flap on the left side of the T5 / 1200D’s body conceals the camera’s ports – a mini HDMI connector and USB port plus a remote control terminal compatible with the RS60-E3 cable remote, but the T5 / 1200D isn’t compatible with Canon wireless remote controllers. In terms of stills the Canon is no slouch either, with colours veering toward the warm straight out of the camera. A 'kit' zoom this may be, but it's sharp from corner to corner and the lens' maximum aperture of f/3.5 is still sufficient to achieve the professional-looking shallow depth of field effects that we'd expect of a DSLR. Canon EOS 1200D: Verdict The Canon EOS 1200D's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds and there's a Bulb mode for even longer exposures, which is excellent news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 30 seconds, aperture of f/8 at ISO 100. This being a DSLR, however, we also have an eye-level viewfinder via which the lion's share of composition happens. This smaller yet sufficiently bright viewing window, with the camera's nine AF points highlighted, offers 95% frame coverage and a magnification factor of 0.80x. This contrasts with 100% frame coverage when using the LCD; so what we see is what we get.

The T5 / 1200D’s built-in flash is popped up using a button just behind the main dial on the top of the grip. It’s not as odd a place for it as you might think because it’s programmable and can be assigned to ISO sensitivity. The flash is the same unit as on the earlier T3 / 1100D with a Guide Number of 9.2 in metres at 100 ISO. That’s a little less powerful than the Nikon D3300’s built-in flash which has a Guide Number of 12 and also offers wireless control with compatible Nikon units. With a GN of 9.2 the Sony A3000’s built-in flash has the same power output as the T5 / 1200. Both the T5 / 1200D and D3300 have a hotshoe, as does the Sony A3000, but the latter is Sony’s multi-interface shoe which can take an external flash as well as other accessories.
