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

Product Information

Essentially a more extreme version of the well-established Picture Styles, this offers nine options including Standard, Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, Cool, Brighter, Darker and Monochrome, all of which can be interactively tweaked to suit your taste. It keeps the cost down, but makes it impossible to change the card with the camera mounted on a tripod. Before you start filming, you need to focus on the subject either manually or using auto focus as described above. It’s worth noting that thanks to its 100% electronic composition, you can use the screen or the viewfinder to frame movies on the A3000, whereas on DSLRs you can only use the screen for movies. This being a beginner's DSLR, control layout on the rear plate falls between the busy-ness of a 'grown up' DSLR and the simplicity of snapshot camera.

A grid line display and very useful live histogram can be enabled to help with composition and exposure, and you can zoom in by up to 10x magnification of the image displayed on the LCD screen. That said, it’s better than the Nikon D3300 in this regard, which offers no exposure bracketing at all.In Continuous Shooting mode, the camera can take pictures at a speed of 3 frames per second for up to 69 Large Fine JPEGs or 3fps for up to 6 RAW files. This is still too slow for anything that moves - use the optical finder and the regular auto focus module for that type of shooting - but it is perfectly OK with still subjects. Canon has also launched the 'EOS Companion app' to conincide with the new model, aimed at guiding DSLR beginners through their first DSLR. All of the buttons are clearly labelled but, with some of them being flush to the body, can be a little hard to press at times.

Indeed the shutter release button is set into place at the top of the handgrip at a comfortably sloped angle, with a ridged command wheel sitting just behind. second auto-focusing, a 16 megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, 1080i HD video, and a touchscreen interface.

The maximum time per file remains 29 minutes and 59 seconds, but if the file size reaches 4GB a new file is created and recording continues. Canon have significantly increased the megapixel count from 12 to 18, but thankfully it hasn't negatively affected image quality, with the camera continuing to offer a a very usable ISO range with only the fastest settings of 6400 and 12800 really suffering from objectionable levels of noise.The quality of the 300MB/min video is excellent, but the lack of image stabilisation on the 18-55mm f3.
