Canon introduces a new entry-level dSLR today. It is called Canon EOS 1200D.
We have the opportunity to check it out and also show to you.
The EOS 1200D is an updated version of the EOS 1100D both externally and internally.
The first thing that meets the eye is the plastic covering the body - it is matte
and feels quite nice, quality material. Additionally some of the grip surfaces
are rubber coated. This gives much better grip and overall ergonomics.
Button layout has also been changed to make it similar to other EOS system cameras.
The number of buttons remains the same but locations have been changed.
These were the major external changes concerning the EOS 1200D.
There are no radical changes but they enhance overall ergonomics and usability.
What has changed internally?
There are 3 main changes in the EOS 1200D. The first one is the sensor.
Instead of 12 MP it has now 18 MP.
The second one is the larger display with 3 inches of real estate.
It has 460,000 dots compared to 230,000 dots on the EOS 1100D.
The third change is the sensitivity range. The EOS 1100D had maximum sensitivity of 6400.
The EOS 1200D has maximum setting of ISO 12800.
These were the 3 main changes the EOS 1200D has to offer.
This was a quick and short overview of Canons' new entry-level dSLR, the EOS 1200D.
Although we had the chance to check this camera out and show to you, it won't be available
in retail before March this year.
So, get ready to order.
