Replacing the EOS 1100D, the EOS 1200D is an 18-million-pixel APS-C-sensor size model with a Digic 4 image processor.<\/p>\n
It will cost around \u00a3350 body only and is due to go on sale in March.<\/p>\n
To coincide with the launch, Canon has announced an online \u2018companion app’ to guide users on how to use the camera and give them photography technique tips, via their mobile device. <\/p>\n
The \u2018learn, explore and inspire’ app – primarily designed for photography newcomers – is compatible with Android operating systems from today and Apple iOS in two weeks.<\/p>\n
AP asked why Canon did not make such internet-based tutorial information available in-camera, through an Android operating system, for example. <\/p>\n
Neale Conroy from Canon UK’s DSLR management team responded by saying that, to avoid sacrificing image quality, this would have required a second \u2018dedicated’ processor that would have made the camera too expensive.<\/p>\n
Features include an ISO range of 100-12,800, Full HD video, a nine-point AF system and three frames per second shooting.<\/p>\n
Its larger 3in LCD screen carries a resolution of 460,000 pixels, and Canon has introduced its ‘creative filters’ \u2013used on higher-end models \u2013 into this entry-point camera.<\/p>\n
