The Canon EOS Rebel T5 – also known as the EOS 1200D – was a fine entry-level DSLR. And you may well find it at great prices I have always been fascinated with good photographs and have ever since college, wanted a DSLR that would do justice to the moment I am having the opportunity to indulge in.

As on its predecessor, you can focus before recording, you can also refocus during a shot by half-pressing the shutter release, providing you first enable the AF w/ shutter button feature from the movie menu, but it’s a single-shot process which can take a few seconds at a time and is quite distracting if recorded in the video. As well as a pop-up flash, the EOS 1200D also features a hotshoe. This allows users to attach any of Canon’s current flashguns as well as third-party alternatives.E-TTL II automatic built-in pop-up, 13m ISO 100 guide number, 27mm (equivalent in 35 format) lens focal length coverage; compatible with Canon EX Series Speedlite external hotshoe-mount flashes Whereas at one time the cheaper DSLR in any manufacturer's range involved investing in a quartet of AA batteries to slot into its handgrip, even this cheapest Canon offers a rechargeable lithium-ion battery off the bat, and a standalone LP-E10 charger to replenish it with. On a practical note, the eye relief for the optical viewfinder doesn't jut out that far from the body, meaning that every time we pressed our eye close to it, our nose inadvertently bumped up against the LCD directly below. Inevitably you'll be rubbing the screen free of smears and prints after a while.
Historically, Canon has produced some fantastic entry-level DSLR cameras tailored to the first-time buyer. This type of camera is aimed at someone who is upgrading from a compact camera or smartphone, who may find the functionality of a DSLR a little daunting, and the new Canon EOS 1200D has been targeted at these photographers. Interestingly, shortly after the camera’s announcement at CP+ in Tokyo, Japan, a new EOS Companion app was released that is designed to be a learning aid for users of the EOS 1200D, so it’s clear that Canon is committed to helping people make the step into the world of DSLR photography. The main upgrades over the previous EOS 1100D is a new 18-megapixel processor and improved full HD video, while the excellent nine-point AF system and powerful DIGIC 4 processor are retained. Any attached lens is subject to a 1.6x magnification factor with Canon, thus we're provided with the 35mm equivalent of a 28-88mm focal range.
Main Rivals
Overall, the EOS 1200D preserves excellent detail in the shadow areas and I found that, providing the ISO sensitivity wasn’t set too high, I was able to maximise the dynamic range by shooting slightly underexposed and lightening the shadow in post-production.
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. Canon EOS 1200D: Battery Focusing Brightness Range EV 0 - 18 Center AF Point, EV 1 - 18 other AF Points with One-shot AF at Room Temperature, ISO 100, Brightness Metering Range EV 1 - 20 at Room Temperature, ISO 100 This is my first DSLR camera. I have owned a lot of digital point and shoots, and there has always been things about them that made me not want to use them for the very reasons I wanted a good camera to do. Having owned several very nice SLRs, I'm rather critical of cameras and the end results they provide. The EOS Rebel T5, or 1200D as it’s known outside of North America, is Canon’s latest entry-level DSLR. Launched in February 2014 it replaces the three year old T3 / 1100D. Three years is a long time in this industry, during which time mirrorless cameras have really gone after the budget DSLR market. So what’s new on the T5 / 1200D to attract entry-level buyers?
