Canon tries to entice first-time DSLR buyers with a solid offering that comes with its own app.
PROS
Good price; solid image quality; Companion App is helpful
CONS
No in-menu explanation; ISO not to be used past 1600; Low resolution on LCD display
VERDICT
The 1200D does exactly what you expect a R6 000 entry-level camera to do, providing one with solid image quality and a handy companion app. Having said that, it hardly pushes the limits, and if you have a R1 000 or so extra, rather go for the smaller and slightly better specced 100D.
