An affordable and functional price is a formula that Canon retains to fight in the entry-level DSLR segment. Replacing the Canon EOS 1200D that appeared in the year 2014 ago, Canon is now presenting the Canon EOS 1300D with the addition of several new features. Is this DSLR camera still reliable for users who just want to learn photography?
Ideal for holiday companions
Canon EOS 1300D still retain the design of Canon EOS 1200D. The dimensions of the body is not too big, the weight when mounted with the kit lens 18-55mm is also still relatively light and ideal to travel. Overall the body feels quite sturdy and comfortable when held hands.
On the back of the body can be found an LCD screen measuring 3 inches. Display on the screen also looks pretty sharp. This screen is better than the EOS 1200D because the EOS 1300D LCD screen resolution is higher with the number of pixels to reach 920,000 dots.
This LCD screen accompanied by optical viewfinder is quite helpful to take pictures. Shift slightly to the side of the screen, here can be found a number of navigation buttons.
All the buttons are quite large. Placement is also quite good and easy to reach with your fingers. However, because all the buttons are designed almost flat with the body, the buttons are so less comfortable when pressed. While at the top of the body can be found hot shoe flash and dial to select shooting mode.
Simple features, easy to use
As a beginner class DSLR cameras, Canon does not equip it with abundant features. But, all the features that exist in the Canon DSLR 1300D is very enough to just learn to take pictures. The menu interface is also very easy to understand and use so it will not be confusing for the beginner.
New features that can be found in the EOS 1300D is the presence of White Priority feature that can be found in the White Balance settings. Although present to make it easier to produce images with a more neutral color when shooting in yellow lights lighting, but in practice this feature is quite rarely we use. Because the setting of automatic white balance or AWB of EOS 1300D is more than enough to be used in various shooting conditions.
Another new feature we can find is the presence of the Food mode. This mode is specifically designed for photo food with color tonal on the more mature looking photos. In addition to these two features, the EOS 1300D can also be found in video mode with video recording capability in Full HD resolution. Connectivity was quite complete with the presence of support for WiFi and NFC to facilitate users move the photos to the smartphone.
The photos are satisfactory
As a DSLR camera, the EOS 1300D relies on APS-C CMOS sensor with a resolution of 18 megapixels with Canon DIGIC 4+ processor support.

When testing it outdoors with a standard 18-55mm lens, we are quite satisfied with the results of his photograph. Canon EOS 1300D capable of producing sharp images with a tonal color is very good. Autofokusnya system which amounts to 9 points also feels quite fast and adequate to support outdoor shooting activities.
Like most DSLR cameras, the EOS 1300D also supports Live View mode for users who do not want to shoot by peering at their viewfinder.
In Live View mode this framing or arrangement of shooting composition can be seen directly on the LCD screen. However, unfortunately the EOS 1300D autofocus performance in Live View mode feels a bit slow. In low light conditions the autofocus performance is also not as fast as in sufficient lighting conditions. However, the noisenya control at high ISO to shoot in low light conditions.
ISO settings up to ISO 3200 numbers, sharpness and photo details can still be maintained properly. While in the ISO 6400 settings the noise is starting to look annoying but it's still quite safe if it's just for small size prints or on display to social media.
Conclusion
Although aiming for beginner segment, EOS 1300D able to show off with the quality of the image is good. In addition, this camera is very easy to use and all the features it has is quite capable to take pictures.
Canon EOS 1300D is the right choice to be the first DSLR camera for students or novice users who are just beginning to learn to plunge into the world of photography. The price is relatively affordable. The EOS 1300D is also supported with the ecosystem of Canon lens and accessories are very complete.
