First buy 1200D or 500D

Looking to buy first dSLR. Have looked at 1200D in currys, fits nicely in hand and feel comfortable.

But someone mentioned to me, the lens is comes with is not great, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 iii. So have been looking at used camera's and cam across the 500D body only, seems to be similar specs.

So question is, would the 1200D new be better or the used 500D with a 50mm prime lens.

thanks in adavance

Canon EOS 1200D (EOS Rebel T5 / EOS Kiss X70) Canon EOS 500D (EOS Rebel T1i / EOS Kiss X3)
