Product Information

The latter can be set to either raise the flash or, if you don’t plan on using the built-in flash, assigned to manual ISO sensitivity setting. This camera produces noise-free images at ISO 100 up to ISO 800, with some noise appearing at ISO 1600. That said, it’s better than the Nikon D3300 in this regard, which offers no exposure bracketing at all. The T5 / 1200D’s LP-E10 battery provides enough power for 500 shots under CIPA standard conditions, that’s a significant drop on the 700 shot capacity of its predecessor, and, coincidentally, also 200 short of the Nikon D3300’s 700-shot capacity. The Canon EOS 1200D / Rebel T5 is a solid, if unspectacular, upgrade of the 3-year-old 1100D / T3 camera, principally adding a new 18 megapixel sensor, bigger LCD screen, more control over movie recording, a point-and-shoot Scene Intelligent Auto mode, and a tougher body with a better handgrip.

Also, menu, quick menu, exposure compensation, playback and display have their own button close to the D-pad. The now established Feature Guide option in the EOS 1200D’s menu system usefully provides a brief description of each setting and its effect. It’s also worth bearing in mind that framing for continuous shooting is much easier with a DSLR’s optical viewfinder than the A3000’s EVF which lags one frame behind the action. It would have been great to see more than nine AF points, to shoot more than 3fps and to have a higher resolution screen, but these are not essential to many amateurs.
