Canon EOS 1300D Verdict
In order to continue to offer a great-value product, Canon hasn’t done anything exciting here. A better processor, which could have increased frame rate and general operational speeds, would have been nice. Wi-Fi and NFC will be welcomed by many, but if you already have a 1200D, it’s not worth upgrading unless you’re desperate for that connectivity.
