I second what the previous poster says. I recently compared the specs of the 100D and the 1200D for a friend. There are three things omitted from the 1200D, to keep the price down and to keep it from nibbling away at sales of the bodies higher up the line.

1. High resolution screen. Vital, as you'll realise if you've come from an older DSLR with a low res screen.

2. Touchscreen. Not so vital, but very useful and intuitive.

3. Depth of field preview button.

So the conclusion. Stretch to the 100D (SL1) - it's worth the extra.
