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...

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...

This is Canon's basic entry level DSLR. It has an 18 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 4 Image Processor in a fairly compact and light body. The lens is of modest range and is mechanically rough and gritty. The 75mm non-swivelling LCD is low resol...
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...
