Re: 1200d Focus speed question

with lots of gear but no idea wrote:

I hope to shortly be getting back into my Birding pastime, after having sold my 500d body some time ago, I don't want to spent too much money at the moment to get going again, so my question is:- has any body go views or experience as to whether or not the 1200d would be as fast as the old 500d or even the 550d Your advise would be much appreciated

Hi,

Specs. wise I would lean more towards the Canon 100D, I dont know your locality but in the UK the 100D is only £56 pounds more expensive than the 1200D and is better equipped all round, link below for a head to head with 100D v 1200D

FPS the 1200D is slower than the 550D or the 100D 3FPS v 4FPS
