Despite this higher resolution, the 1200D’s new sensor only represents a very small increase in dimensions from that of its predecessor, allowing Canon to keep the size of the camera to a minimum (it weighs in at a pokey 480g with battery and card included). The use of the Quick mode briefly interrupts the live view feed as the mirror is momentarily lowered so that the AF sensors can be engaged, and it also involves a lot of mirror slapping for the same reason. As a DSLR, the 1200D uses Canon's EF/EF-S lens mount, which is compatible with hundreds of different lenses. Canon's Picture Styles are preset combinations of different sharpness, contrast, saturation and colour tone settings.

On a practical note, the eye relief for the optical viewfinder doesn't jut out that far from the body, meaning that every time we pressed our eye close to it, our nose inadvertently bumped up against the LCD directly below. Creative Auto offers nine options including Standard, Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, Cool, Brighter, Darker and Monochrome, all of which can be interactively tweaked to suit your taste. Canon’s Digital Photo Professional editing software is bundled with the 1200D – a nifty raw editor that allows for a wealth of adjustments.

Beyond some very minor design modifications and some slight re-arranging of the controls, the EOS T5 / 1200D looks almost identical to the earlier T3 / 1100D. The Canon EOS T5 / 1200D has a lot to recommend it in handling terms as an introduction to DSLR photography.Amy was once part of the photography testing team for Future Publishing working across TechRadar, Digital Camera, PhotoPlus, N Photo and Photography Week. While compact cameras continue to suffer in the wake of the ubiquitous smartphone, the DSLR market remains fairly strong. The top row shows the Standard, Vivid and Intense settings with tinted monochrome options on the bottom row. As the camera doesn't use the most recent image processor, it will be interesting to see how well it copes with noise in high sensitivity and low light situations. You can tweak these Picture Controls to your liking, and there are also User Defined styles so that you can create your own look.

Like all screens it’s an effort to use in bright sunlight, but it coped better than the Sony A3000’s screen which is very difficult to see in bright sunshine. It’s still perfectly adequate for manual focus in live view mode, thanks to the ability to magnify the image by up to 10x.Both the T5 / 1200D and D3300 have a hotshoe, as does the Sony A3000, but the latter is Sony’s multi-interface shoe which can take an external flash as well as other accessories.

Summary Canon's EOS 1200D, or Rebel T5 as it's known in North America, is the company's latest entry-level DSLR. The D3300 is very similar with etched illuminating AF points – 11 in this case – and exposure information, in green, rather than red, along the bottom. In terms of stills the Canon is no slouch either, with colours veering toward the warm straight out of the camera. Auto Lighting Optimizer performs in-camera processing to even out the contrast and correct brightness.is still sufficient to achieve the professional-looking shallow depth of field effects that we'd expect of a DSLR. In short you can quickly be up and shooting sharply detailed, colour rich images that require little if no work straight out of the camera. If continuous AF for movies is a priority for you the Sony A3000 makes a much better job of it out of these three; if you want really good continuous AF during movies, I’d recommend upgrading to the Sony A6000. It also lags compared to an optical viewfinder, but provides more of a what you see is what you get view; for example under or over-exposure are immediately apparent and you can preview effects, frame movies and enjoy 100% coverage.
