While both Nikon and Pentax have launched competing products such as cheap D3300 and K-5, the return of the Canon in this potential market segment will mark the return of the Canon to low-level DSLR market.

Sure, Canon 1200D also called the Canon EOS Rebel T5 1200D in America, will make many people excited, because this is not just a new Canon effort to attract new participants to take pictures, but also because of 2 reasons Other: cheap price $439 or about Rs. 22,890. And the EOS Companion app comes with the ability to support users apprentice a lot.

Of course, these two strengths will not mean anything if the quality of the Canon 1200D photos does not meet the aspirations of the fans. Is EOS 1200D has a product worthy of the investment of their very cheap?

Design:

Perhaps, you will feel a bit disappointed when holding Canon 1200D on hand for the first time. Polycarbonate casing made of carbon fiber covered, while the relatively small size of the EOS 1200D keeps people might mistake them was holding a toy in his hand.

The button size is quite large and quite clearly noted to increase user-friendliness. All features such as AF mode, ISO, scene modes, white balance is controlled by the D-Pad navigation keys, while the menu, exposure levels, library and screen shots are controlled by separate buttons.

In general, except for first feeling quite disappointed, the EOS 1200D is a digital SLR model compact enough for new users to take photos can be used easily and conveniently.

Canon 1200D features:

From generation to the EOS 1200D, 1100D predecessor was a series of valuable improvements with familiar elements. One of the most significant improvements to the EOS 1200D camera’s sensor has now been raised to 18MP resolution as the 1100D 12.2MP instead.

However, the size of the Canon 1200D sensor not change much compared to the predecessor. Canon has tried his best to help this cheap DSLR remain fairly stable weight of 480 grams with battery and memory card and compact body.

When used daily, the Canon 1200D AF system with unstable performance. For example, when using the viewfinder in good light conditions, the AF system cannot reproach: fast and accurate even when the changes rapidly. You can use the EOS 1200D at sporting events or animals photograph. The ability of the focus appears particularly excellent when samples between frames. In low light conditions, the AF system will be slower, but still enough to meet the needs of the user.

This does not mean that the Live View feature on the Canon 1200D is completely useless. If you’re shooting in sunlight mode frame and pictures is not moving, you can use the zoom button to enlarge the frame around 5-10 times to get the picture the most accurate image possible.

Canon 1200D is capable of 1080p Full HD video recording at a maximum speed of 30 frames/sec. 720p video recording capabilities at speeds of 60 or 50 frames/sec will also be useful for those who like to do slow motion. However, the EOS 1200D has no external microphone jack for quality sound recording.

This application is designed to guide the basic features of the camera, as well as the basic concepts of photography. EOS Companion will help you to take photos in various forms like art, exercises, video tutorials and 3D charts, EOS Companion not only very creative but also very useful.

Verdict:

It is difficult to deny that the EOS 1200D also several weaknesses-too few points autofocus, Live View Focus too low, continuous shooting only 3 frames/second and the screen resolution is too low. However, it should be remembered that the EOS 1200D is a new camera for the study of photography. When viewed from this perspective, the EOS 1200D is a really great camera.
