Canon EOS 1200D is a perfect camera for first-time DSLR users. A very lightweight and small beginner camera with a stainless steel chassis and all-aluminium exterior Canon Rebel T5 is absolutely a match-winner.
For someone who has taken Photography as a new-found hobby, EOS 1200D is strongly advised since it is more affordable and easier to use than ever. To go through the specs, the Canon 1200D has an 18 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, Digic 4 processor, 3-inch LCD screen, 3fps continuous shooting, 9-point auto focus module, ISO 100-6400 sensitivity, 1080p HD video capture having full control over exposure, focusing and sound levels and a better grip than the predecessor EOS 1100D.
Canon EOS 1200D or just Rebel T5 is also compatible with the manufacturers whole line-up of lenses, including both EF and EF-S glass.
To conclude, EOS 1200D is an affordable, solid, efficacious and worthy camera. Go get it!
