Seems a pretty solid camera to me! Though I think 600D is a better deal, you can get it so cheap these days that buying this over 600D doesnt make much sence. :)
Thanks for the comment PeeHooo - the 1200D is in store in a couple of months, be great to get your feedback once you see it in action in person. What is it about the 600d that you're liking? Any ideas or feedback are always valuable too!
Ismael Cousillas Couldn't you give a simpler answer? anyway, i got this one on google. But can't find exact comparison between DIGIC 4 AND EXPEED 3. Can you help me with this? Actually im confused between nikon d3200-nikon5100 and canon 600D. :(
okay, as a replacement for 1100D the only difference I assume is the 18 MP and rubber grip. although I would also assume that this is going to be more expensive. =(
Probably an Panasonic G6 with an 7.5mm fisheye from rokinon/samyang/bower You get full manual control and good framerate options. It will create better footage as an gopro.
Hey there, just wondering if someone could tell me if this camera would be any good for getting into short films or if they could recommend anything else?
+Adronator98 Its not great for video due to the need to "refresh" the auto focus it doesn't track the subject like you might expect. The fixed screen is a limiting factor too.
The D5200 has An more advanced AF system with 39 AF points from which 9 are crosstype. This Canon has 9 AF points and only the centre is an crosstype. So it will not track movement well. An relatively new 24MP Sensor made by Toshiba. One of the best Apsc sensors these days.The 1200D has an ancient 18mp Canon has been using for 5 years. The D5200 has an articulated screen and the 1200D screen is fixed. The D5200 screen is also double the resolution. It's really no contest. Be aware that the D5200 is more expensive and is competing with the 700D
+Shazib Javed Very similar for image quality. The 3200 has a faster burst rate for sports. For these two cameras its a choice of Nikon or Canon really. They are both good and great value. I chose the 1200D because they offered a deal with a 75-300mm zoom inlcuded.
Any news yet on the long awaited 7dmk11 ? Is it true prototypes were sent to the Winter Olympic Games for photographers to use as beta testing prior to release?
isn't this camera also called the 'rebel t3i' or something like that?? Please answer someone:) also, is it good at taking videos that are super high quality?
This is not a review and this is why. The first pic which showed the blurred background was taken with an high-end prime Lens. Like an 85mm F1.4 for instance. The 18-55 IS will not give you these blurred backgrounds. The second picture is unlikely to be taken with this camera. or they had many tries. The subject is on the left of the picture. This camera has no sensitive crosstype AF sensor besides 1 in the middle. The Nikon entry-levels do not have this either though. Praising an "improved Digic 4 is just a joke. Digic 6 is already coming to some compacts and this still holds the old Digic 4 that was already in an mid-end Canon 550D in 2010. The 18MP sensor is indeed found in higher models. However this sensor is showing it's age since it was introduced in 2009 with the 7D. It was an remarkable performer back then but time moves on. Praising 3 Fps is another laugh i did not get in days. All entry-levels i am aware of now have at least 4 FPS. The Pentax K500 for instance shoots at 6 Fps. 9 AF points ain't bad. If Canon decide to pick the system found in the 650D/700D However this isn't that system. It only has 1 crosstype which are more sensitive. While the others have 9 crosstypes. The Nikon D3XXX share the same weakness. Iso range to 6400 native is not that great. many offer 12800-25600 and some even 51200. However this does not say anything what matters is how it will look at 1600-3200 becouse that's about as far as you would want to push an Apsc. Again the 2009 18mp sensor is showing it's age here. That shot at night was not taken at High Iso. The photographer used an tripod and long shutterspeeds. You can see the obvious light trails on the highway. HD video is an proper strength of Canon camera's in particular. And i have no doubt that the video out of this entry level will be good.
Dam that's good for entry level. I imagine it's the 18mp CMOS found in the 7d 60d and the rest
i have a 60d and i feel so bad when i see these new entry level dslr :/
Why do yea feel bad?
Seems a pretty solid camera to me!

Canon Australia which one is better processor? digic 4 or the digic 5
Sugata Kundu which one is better processor? Intel Pentium III or I 7?...
Ismael Cousillas Couldn't you give a simpler answer?
anyway, i got this one on google. But can't find exact comparison between DIGIC 4 AND EXPEED 3. Can you help me with this?
Actually im confused between nikon d3200-nikon5100 and canon 600D. :(
and btw, your cover picture in Google+ is just awesome. #supercool_ISO
Can you out your own fisheye lense on it? Or any lense
would this camera be good for filming youtube videos?
okay, as a replacement for 1100D the only difference I assume is the 18 MP and rubber grip. although I would also assume that this is going to be more expensive. =(
Hi, I'm a train spotter, and hopefully get my first cannon dslr....
Is this 1200D good?
Enterprising Rail Films Hey, I'm also a train spotter and want to get my first real camera for day and night shooting, any thoughts?
Since I've asked that question, I have a canon 1100D now & highly recommend it for railway photography....
can you put a mic in it so it records from that mic instead of the in built camera
no you can't
Can anyone recommend small compact digital cameras for best HD 1080p quality filming? looking for GoPro type quality footage
Probably an Panasonic G6 with an 7.5mm fisheye from rokinon/samyang/bower
You get full manual control and good framerate options.
It will create better footage as an gopro.
What the 600d have more than the 1200d ? Are they really the same ?
No the 600D is better.
It has an sharper articulated screen that this one lacks.
Is this camera phantom powered?
can i use Canon Lens EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III or Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens in this 1200D?
yeap
Hey there, just wondering if someone could tell me if this camera would be any good for getting into short films or if they could recommend anything else?
+Adronator98 Its not great for video due to the need to "refresh" the auto focus it doesn't track the subject like you might expect. The fixed screen is a limiting factor too.
Thanks for replying. Are there any cameras you would recommend for short film?
The best for video is the Lumix gh4, however almost all of the Lumix G series are good for video. You get great deals on the G3
Ian Gibbons I'll check them out, thanks dude.

It's really no contest.

which have better image quality Canon 1200d or Nikon d3200??
+Shazib Javed Very similar for image quality. The 3200 has a faster burst rate for sports. For these two cameras its a choice of Nikon or Canon really. They are both good and great value. I chose the 1200D because they offered a deal with a 75-300mm zoom inlcuded.
Any news yet on the long awaited 7dmk11 ? Is it true prototypes were sent to the Winter Olympic Games for photographers to use as beta testing prior to release?
Does it have external mic input ?!
Abdelrahman Farghaly No it doesn't, the 700D/ T5i has it.
is the NIKON Kit D3200 better??
Awesome review
70D for the win :)
isn't this camera also called the 'rebel t3i' or something like that?? Please answer someone:) also, is it good at taking videos that are super high quality?
rebel t5i
+zackery john rebel t5
Thanks
i just came from a 1dx markii video advertisement and the whole music change makes this camera look and sound like a toy,, but an affordable toy

I've got one yesterday , and this is my First DSLR . And i don't use it till now cuz i don't know where to start . Argh
Digic 4 ???... that's a 550D with effects.
1300 d cannon best tell me friends??
Holy Sh*t !!! It's DSLR, not "*DLSR*" !!!
mistake even in the title and nobody figured it out after 5 years!
looks like you made them change it
when canon gives better fucks on the 1200D than the 1300D
i feel fucking betrayed for buying the 1300D
good
can it take a shotgun mic?
digit 4 processor ? Serious? at least a digit 5
lol you put dlsr insted of dslr!
Seriously, Canon?
My K-500 kicks the crap out of this thing from a photography standpoint for about the same money.
The same as the rebel series! They just want to make more money 😒 -_-
You can't review something you made yourself, this is not a review
Why was this even made.
I can smell poo
