I upgraded from the Rebel XT to the Canon Rebel T5 for the increased resolution but got much more! With image stabilization, live view in both still and video mode, better auto focus will allow me to get back in photography! Due to eye sight, I could not always get a sharp image but now I can! Using the image preview in live mode, I can really get a sharp focus! The new lens are sharper than the older ones and with the higher resolution, I can crop/zoom images to get a larger print! Bottom line. This was money well spent and at $150 less than Sam's Club price makes it even better!!

I have a few Nikon cameras and that is what I have been using in the past, but I thought Canon was an excellent camera due to I never used it before and the recommendation I was given from friends. However, this camera the Canon EOS 1200D Rebel T5 + 18-55 SLR is not worth my money. The color, the menu, and everything about it far inferior than Nikon. I'm sorry to say, I wasted my money.

I already had an 18-55mm version II EF-S lens from an older Rebel so all I needed was the body. Great price ... inexpensive way for me to upgrade to 18.2 megapixels and HD video and better light sensitivity! Only real drawback is in video mode, the lens does not continually autofocus while videoing. You can autofocus onto your subject then start videoing, but if the subject walks towards the lens then you're forced to focus manually. But that's just the way the T5 works. The T6 series does better at continuous video autofocus but you have to shell out a lot more money. For my needs the T5 is great! Great low-light performance, decent battery life, easy to use, sharp photos, the bonus of a second HD video camera without buying another video camera, solid audio recording from the built-in mic (no mic input for external mic). It's light and compact for a DSLR. If you've used a Rebel before then the learning curve is shallow and fast! Fast response when shooting as an SLR so you don't miss any shots. Built in flash doesn't overpower pictures. Shutter priority and aperture priority modes work very well and exposure compensation function is solid. All in all for under $270 ... super happy! And I got it with free shipping a day before estimated delivery date. I'm a happy camper!Read full review

This is my first DSLR camera. I have owned a lot of digital point and shoots, and there has always been things about them that made me not want to use them for the very reasons I wanted a good camera to do. Having owned several very nice SLRs, I'm rather critical of cameras and the end results they provide. That said, I haven't used this particular camera a lot yet, I've only had it for about a month now. But here is what I like about this camera. It is probably the best choice for an entry level DSLR buyer like me. It wasn't difficult to get it up and running, I had good results with my first efforts, and it wasn't all that expensive to try. The only bad thing is the instruction manual. It was helpful, but too much gobbledegook. If you buy this camera, get a good after-market book such as "David Busch's Canon EOS Rebel T5/1200D". As I stated, I haven't owned this camera long. I'm still learning about it and the creative possibilities that are there. And just a note to prospective buyers. If you've owned cameras before, you probably already have a lot of the stuff in bundle deals. This particular one was the best bundle I found without paying for things I did not need. Happy shooting!Read full review

This is an awesome camera with great picture/video quality...It has many creative features but can also used as a point-and-shoot. To get the most out of the T5, the 342 page instruction manual can be downloaded/printed from Canon. It is easy to read and well worth the effort. The camera/lens combined weight is very comfortable for all day shooting. The only thing I added to the outfit was the vertical hold as it allows the use of 2 batteries for extended time, which is especially valuable when shooting Videos. The only drawback for me is that the LCD monitor is fixed to the camera and can be an issue when shooting overhead. For what is included in this outfit...You can't beat the price...
