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

Overall I found this camera produced great images and was a joy to control, I really think Canon's pedigree in cameras shines through with a well thought out and capable camera at a very competitive price. Very small & lightweight – I found the 1200D very light when equipped with the EF-S 18-55 kit lens, the lightness of the camera meant I could carry it all day. Can use all Canon's EF & EF-S lenses – This is great there are so many lenses for this camera from Canon, Tamron, Sigma, Tokina. Good LCD screen – Bright and sharp, easy to review your photos, daylight visible. Gets exposure right – I find the exposure/metering to be very good, rarely do I get burnt out or dark shots. Good control buttons – I found the functions I need regularly, had dedicated buttons, for example exposure compensation + or – This helps to work quickly and creatively with this camera. Good ISO (low light) performance – Image noise at high ISO was quite well controlled, usable up to ISO1600. Good auto focus (AF) – I found the auto focus quick and reliable, even in low light conditions. Great battery life – shoot all day, no problem. Fast slick user interface – All buttons and menus respond instantly with no lag, menus and controls show real thought has gone in. Sharp lens – I found the EF-S 18-55 f/3.5=5.6 III lens very sharp over the whole zoom range.

Purchased as a backup camera to use alongside my D5sr. It's a basic camera for sure. There's not much there in the way of functions. It as all the expected modes Aperture priority, Shutter priority, Macro, Manual and full auto. Without going for second hand gear (which may actually well be a very good option at this price point) this is the cheapest DSLR on the market at this time. Which is exactly why I bought it. If you're a beginner and don't need all the bells and whistles with a zillion focus points then this will be the perfect camera to learn on. APSC sensor size which will give you a 1.6 crop factor (This means when you're working out focal lengths for lenses you will need to times the focal length by 1.6 to give you a truer effective focal length. So a 50mm f/1.8 lens would be: 50mm x 1.6 = 80mm effective. This will be helpful if you are thinking about buying lenses too.) A good first choice for this camera is the canon 24mm 2.8 STM. 18 mega pixels is nothing to sniff at either when coupled with the kit lens you can get some really stunning results! Sure you'll probably want to get some better lenses and things in the future as the image quality can be further improved with optically better glass but the kit lens isn't terrible or anything it's not bad at all actually.

It's a good camera to start off with; you might want to get another lens though; this comes with a rather poor 18-55mm zoom, in that images aren't very sharp. Video footage is good; though there is no opportunity to attach an external microphone (there is on the 100D), and it's not particularly great in low light settings. I found it to produce a bit of noise at ISO 400, anything 800 and above, aren't very nice. Other than that, it's light, good build quality, easy to work and very pleasing to use. Even though I plan to upgrade, I imagine that this will still come in handy for travel - especially with a smaller lens. Canon EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera - (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens,18MP, CMOS Sensor) 3 inch LCD ^ - Comes with a marginally better lens (with IS and a quieter STM focus motor) - Digic 5 Processor vs. the Digic 4 on the 1200D - Microphone input - Greater ISO sensitivity - Full HD Film (1080p vs. 720p on the 1200D)

I decided to purchase the 1200D to get myself acquainted with the basics of photography and wasn't let down. For the price, you really can't beat it. I have owned this Camera for about 5 months and have taken it all over the world and it hasn't let me down. As with any DSLR, this camera has all that you really need to get started with photography (whether it be portraits, landscape, etc). When you buy this, do yourself a favor and take it off of auto mode and go straight to Aperture Priority as it gives you much more control of your exposures. Want a long exposure? Switch it to Shutter Priority (or Manual Mode). I use it primarily for Landscape Photography and it works good with the kit lense. There are however a couple downsides to its current design. The first being that there is no mic input so you are limited to the built-in microphone if you are making videos. Secondly, the kit lense that comes with this rotates on the end where you may be using filters. I use a circular polarizer a lot and the constant readjustment needed after focusing can be a bit tedious. Lastly, this camera body is not water sealed, so any accumulated rain/water that gets on it, should be cleared off quickly. That being said, for this price, you still get your moneys worth considering it is Canon, so you get a well built product. As soon as you start exploring other lenses, you will be really happy with your DSLR purchase. The images I have attached are taken ONLY WITH THE KIT LENSE. Take a look, and tell me that this camera isn't worth the great price to get you started in photography!

Es mi primera reflex y por el precio y modelo está muy bien para empezar. No es excesivamente grande, de hecho es manejable con una mano porque ademas no pesa nada. Es cierto que como todo, es cuestion de acostumbrarse y es mucho mas cómoda una compacta donde disparas y ya está todo hecho, aquí tienes un gran abanico de opciones para hacer buenas fotos y ademas Canon trae una guía paso a paso como APP y con consejos semanales via email.

Got a great deal on this camera as a gift for my sister who is turning out to be a superb photographer (who knew) She loves it and has already shot several hundred photos with it. Great SLR camera that won't break the bank.

meme si l objectif monte d origine est pas niveaux pro il fait de superbes photos, j ai acheté par la suite des objectifs digne de ce nom et le resultat en tant qu amateur est super bluffant excellent boitier !

Great camera I love it but only thing is the charger doesn't plug into my outlet because it only connect to outlets in Europe but that's my fault but it's a great camera buy it
