The editors liked
The price. This is a DSLR
With the option of fully automatic point and shoot or with full user control
At a price under that of many compact cameras. And in the important area of image capture and processing no pennies have been squeezed to reduce the m
Inexpensive entry point into the Canon digital SLR ecosystem
Good overall picture quality
Relatively simple controls
While it doesn't stand out particularly
The Canon EOS Rebel T5 does produce nice photos typical of its price class
Its performance isn't bad
And it has a comfortable design
Affordable
Textured coating
Optical viewfinder
The editors didn't like
The price! There is evidence in the quality of materials and in the feel of the controls that this is a camera made down to a price. Pentax and Nikon entry models
While a little dearer
Don't feel so much like pauper siblings
Focus performance of 18-55mm kit lens was slow and sometimes innacurate
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...

Inexpensive entry point into the Canon digital SLR ecosystem, Good overall picture quality, Relatively simple controls
Focus performance of 18-55mm kit lens was slow and sometimes innacurate, SD card slot in battery compartment
The bottom line with the EOS 1200D is that it's not a digital SLR camera to go for if you are looking for anything more than a beginner's model. Its relatively simplistic controls and no frills physical design are no match for experienced hands, but they...
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...
