Cannon EOS 1200D - A good Buy?

<p>I am looking to get DSLR Camera for Xmas. What are everyones thoughts on the Cannon EOS 1200D?<br>

Is it worth buying?</p>

<p>I tend to just take shots of Airshows, Landscapes, Buildings, etc.<br>

I am not a complete beginer but my old Camera is a Olympus FE-120. Not great for Airshows or Sports.<br>

I have not used a DSLR before but i am good with tech.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Hi Anthony,<br>

In my view, is it worth buying - well, yes, BUT....<br>

I would try to visit a store first and handle a number of cameras within your budget, to get a feel which one fits your hands best, which one has the button lay-out that fits your idea best. There is nothing wrong with the Canon (as far as I can tell), but the other manufacterers have competitive offers, and maybe they might just fit you better. How a camera handles is very much a personal thing, and not something you can easily 'learn'- it just fits, or it doesn't. <br />So, I wouldn't limit the choice to one before actually having a good look at all that is available.</p>

<p>If you're in the US, Canon is offering the 1200D/T5 for $200 with the kit lens. An amazing deal for a refurbished camera with a 1 year warranty.<br>
