Totally Awesome Camera, Highly Recommended for Beginners

The first ever DSLR I've purchased in my life is Canon EOS 1200D. I've been using this now and it has been OUTSTANDING. It performs way beyond perfection. It's even better than Nikon's entry-level DSLRs. 

You can check out my gallery here: Photographs Captured with Canon EOS 1200D

If you're a beginner and thinking of buying a DSLR, (No matter what the YouTube reviewers are saying) Canon EOS 1200Dis the one you MUST go for. It's truly Amazing!

You should try shooting in RAW or try HDR.  I think the cityscapes, the mosque, and national park you shot could have really been brought to life with some tweaking of the lighting.  Really bring out those clouds and the buildings.

Check out tony and chelsea northrup's books and youtube videos.  If you don't want to spend a whole lot, there are plenty of free youtube video's to look at for beginning lightroom.

Hi Farooq

I have been using DPP for the past few years to tweak my Raw images. Recently I tried LR5. Initially i struggled understanding it but after reading few articles on Google I am finding it much easier to use now.

Farooq,
I'm very glad that you're happy with it, but your review didn't say why, or why it's better than Nikon. Usually, a good review explains what the camera does, and what you like or dislike about it. Your camera, for example, has a flip-out touchscreen, and it would be interesting to see how you like it and how you use it.

Be happy with your T5.

I had an XTi (400D, very old), have a 6D, and wanted a new APS-C camera - as some kind of backup. Got the T5, since it was cheap and yet capable where it matters for me: IQ. Its sensor always made great images on other cameras, like the 7D and 60D.

The result: sometimes my 6D with 70-200 stays at home, while I bring the T5 with 55-250 with me, since it is very compact (but not so much as the SL1, that I find difficult) and a joy to use.

you're got some great pictures.  How many Canon shares do you own? 

I use a 600D and here are my pictures

If you want a camera that is

slower then all it's peers,

has a lower res screen,

a pathetic AF system,

tacky body,

dusty and dated sensor

old slow processor

crappy live view implementation

all to get started with this great hobby

then hey it's your money. But your better off with any other intchangeable lens camera that has some life in it.

I suggest that you start a new thread to ask this question. You should tell us a few goals you have for your camera. Is it only for family photography, do you photograph sports, have you owned an SLR camera before, what is your budget, have you ever studied photography, other cameras you've considered.... things like that.

There is more to photography than just pushing the button.
