This was my first camera. Not a great fan of the quality anymore since there are better models now (though, i never switched lenses - only had the kit lense). BUT, it was a GREAT lense for getting started on photography and videography. I learned a lot with it and it was a great budget camera for me in the beginning.

I purchased this camera 5 years ago and i still have it because i wanted to have my career in photography and wich couldn't be.. Now the quality of my camera is bit down due to improper care

Thanks for the video. It was really helpful!

i was looking to take pictures of skiers, snowboarders and actually had this camera laying around. After doing my research on exposure i feel like the only limiting feature of the camera is the lens I‎t comes with. i think as long as i shoot during the day i shouldn’t have a problem with lighting. Auto focusing with AI servo might cause some issues though with fast moving objects. What do you think?

Thank you very much for the video. I have a Canon EOS 1200D and thanks to your review I have an overall idea about it. thanks a lot.

What camera is best for covering a wedding video and take photographs and also shooting a video skits and music videos for beginners at a lower price range

Hi regardless of an owned camera's quality please can you do a video on what all its buttons etc do. I bought mine second hand for £300 but have yet to try it beyond an instore check of button press and review just to see quality which looked very good. It is incredibly light compared with my other DLSRs. But apart from a very brief starter instruction, I have not been able to download a free Manual to find out what software came with the camera body and lens - I understand this camera may date from 2014.
Hence my plea for a detailed video on its settings and buttons please.
I hope you consider my request and let me know if you will consider my request and look forward to your reply.
Thanks and Regards Joe

Hi, thank you for the upload.

I'm looking for a camera, nothing too fancy.
But something to upgrade my pcutur3s from phone quality, I enjoy taking pictures of nature, bugs, flowers, food and my baby 😊
What camera can I look for that isn't too expensive but is a great overall starting out camera?

Which camera and lens do you use to record this video ?

[avcubesyt]

1:35 "theres no mic input on this microphone"

I got this as a hand me down when starting photography recently, I absolutely agree.

The pictures are pretty good but like you’ve said it’s known to have a bad reputation in low light shots.
But nonetheless, it still destroys my noisy at night iPhone 11 in that sector.

However, I always tend to avoid recording on the 1200D because of the indecisive focus and mono audio.

However, I’ve heard that when buying a camera with smoother focus for video-making, it’s much better to go mirrorless anyways

The camera is definitely outdated so it’s definitely better to get a newer camera with more features but, it’s a decent pickup for really cheap/used as a beginner (for photography)

Would you recommend this for jewelery shooting ?.... Like I don't want any high grade camera for photoshooting just for jewelery and not much use.
