Abstract: Get a grip. The last notable change to the T5 is an exterior upgrade. Unlike the T5i (and the other Rebel Txi models before it), the T3 did not have a rubberized grip covering on the handgrip or thumbrest. This has now been rectified with the Canon T5, an...
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 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
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
It is hard to make an assessment of a camera like the Canon 1200D. If it were a car we would say that it will get you from A to B every time, but it is not a Jaguar. It is aimed at amateurs of modest ambition, but do they need the bulk of a DSLR? On the o...

While it's a perfectly fine camera when you're making the jump from a point-and-shoot, there are better choices than the Canon EOS Rebel T5....
Canon has done a good job of producing a DSLR camera for novice users. The EOS1200D is easy to operate, works well in auto mode and, with the aid of the Canon EOS Companion app, capable of providing the assistance novice users need to ease them from simpl...
Slow focusing in Live View, No touchscreen, No WiFi/NFC
Probably the most interesting thing about the new EOS 1200D is the accompanying app for iOS and Android. That said, Nikon offers something similar in its D3300 directly in the camera, so it may be a little frustrating to some that you need to download so...

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...
