Absolutely spend the extra tiny bit of money to get a Canon T3i (600D) or Canon T5i (700D) instead of the lesser Canon T5 (1200D). Check the reviews! I have been using two Canon T2i (550D) cameras for almost three years. I wanted another DSLR camera for another lens, so I recently purchased the Canon T3i (600D) camera. I did what I say to do.

I didn't need the kit lens that came with it, but it was only $50 (USD) more; I got that also. Then I could test it (and play around with it) until I get my telephoto lens.

Here's one of my first photos with the Canon T3i (600D) camera. Unfortunately, we had cloudy skies in Oregon (which is normal this time of year). It would have looked better with blue sky.

A little edit: For us where I live, the Canon T5 (1200D) camera is $499.99 with a kit lens. The Canon T3i (600D) camera with also a kit lens is $549.99 in a local retail store. For us, it's only a fifty dollar difference. Maybe the difference is more where you live, but either of the better Rebels would still be my choice. The Canon T5 (1200D) camera is missing too many features.
