hi I'm Lexus avedis piscina this is a hands-on first look at the Canon Rebel t5 otherwise known as the Canon EOS 1200 Z in other markets around the world but no matter what you call it it's only the badge on the front that's going to be different apart from that all the inside and the outside are identical in the hand this is canons entry-level SLR model and it feels nice and light accordingly so if you're just stepping up from your first compact maybe even a smart phone it's not going to be too bulky to scare you away inside is an 18 megapixel aps-c CMOS sensor it's pretty much the same sensor as been seen on a couple of the other older canon models from a few years ago around the back you get a nice big 3-inch LCD screen about 460,000 dots so it's not a hugely high resolution but it's definitely enough to compose your photos and review them with speaking or composing your photos of course being an SLR you get an optical viewfinder when it comes to exposure modes the 1200 d or Rebel t5 has as many as you can throw at it pretty much the same as any other SLR on the market you get full program aperture shutter and manual exposure modes including a full automatic mode if you're not quite ready to delve into manual exposures just yet and a couple of other scene modes such as portrait landscape and no flash when it comes to video recording this camera definitely has the chops to keep up at 1080p however there is no external microphone jack so if you do want to get better quality external audio you're out of luck with the internal mic this camera comes in a couple of different kick configurations depending on where you buy it but the 18 to 55 millimeter lens is pretty standard however you have the option of getting it with or without image stabilization I strongly suggest you get image stabilization on this lens especially if you want to be recording video because otherwise you're going to be really shaky and the camera is going to pick up every single vibration you definitely notice the difference between and is lens and a non is lens especially if you're shooting video so check out seen it very soon for the full review in the meantime I'm Lexi city cnet this has been a hands-on look at the Canon Rebel t5 or a US 1200 day
