Canon EOS Rebel T5 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens

The Canon EOS Rebel T5 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens (also sold internationally as the EOS 1200D) is an entry-level DSLR kit designed for photographers moving up from smartphones or point-and-shoot cameras, pairing an accessible camera body with a versatile everyday zoom lens for a complete, ready-to-shoot setup.

At the core of the T5 is an 18.0MP APS-C CMOS sensor (22.3 x 14.9mm) paired with Canon’s DIGIC 4 image processor, offering an ISO range of 100-6400, expandable to 12800, delivering high resolution, a wide tonal range, and natural color reproduction. Autofocus uses a 9-point AF system with a center cross-type point, and metering is handled through a 63-zone dual-layer iFCL (intelligent Focus, Color, Luminance) system offering evaluative, partial, and center-weighted average patterns. Continuous shooting reaches up to 3.0fps, with a buffer of up to 69 JPEG or 6 RAW frames.

The shutter offers speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000 second plus bulb mode, with flash sync at 1/200 second, and a built-in flash offers a guide number of approximately 9.2 ft./30.2m (at ISO 100). Exposure modes include Program AE, Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority, and full Manual, along with Scene Intelligent Auto mode and an on-screen Feature Guide to help newer photographers understand camera settings. Video capability includes Full HD 1080p recording at 30fps, with linear PCM audio recording.

Handling centers on a 3.0-inch LCD screen (460k dots) along with an optical pentamirror viewfinder. The camera connects via USB mini-B and video out, with no built-in wireless remote control sensor (compatible with the optional RS-60E3 wired remote switch instead).

The bundled EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens covers a standard zoom range giving a 28.8-88mm equivalent field of view on the T5’s APS-C sensor, well suited to general-purpose, travel, and everyday photography. Built-in Optical Image Stabilization helps counter camera shake in everyday handheld shooting, and the lens measures approximately 68.5 x 84.5mm, weighing approximately 200g, with a 58mm filter thread.

Build quality uses an aluminum exterior with a stainless steel chassis, measuring approximately 129.6 x 99.7 x 77.9mm and weighing approximately 480g (with battery, card, and lens attached; 435g camera body alone with battery and card). The camera stores images on SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards and is powered by an LC-E10 lithium-ion battery (with LP-E10 charger). The T5 uses Canon’s EF/EF-S lens mount, giving it access to Canon’s full range of EF and EF-S lenses.
