Limitations

The 1200D’s DIGIC 4 processor is relatively outdated compared to newer models, resulting in slower processing speeds. Its autofocus system, while adequate, may struggle in low-light conditions or fast-moving subjects. The camera lacks built-in Wi-Fi or NFC connectivity, limiting wireless sharing options. Its ISO range tops at 6400, which might not be sufficient for very low-light scenarios. The LCD screen is fixed and not touch-sensitive, restricting flexibility and ease of use.
