Canon EOS 1200D is steal the attention of photographers, as did the Nikon D3300 has unique features and great color depth, but the Pentax K-500 could be a real alternative for novice photographers who are looking for best entry-level camera.
If
you want to have a new entry-level cameras in the DSLR category is not only a
monopoly Canon or Nikon. You can still glance at mirrorless cameras with DSLR capabilities,
you can even enjoy the unique comfort, because mirrorless cameras are generally
smaller than DSLR cameras, and of course lighter, so convenient to carry go anywhere,
also for a long vacation. Meanwhile, prosumer cameras are also interesting to
be a concern, because prosumer camera has been equipped with a super zoom lens
or ultra-zoom, so you do not have to bother with additional lenses, then
wherever you go is definitely more fun.
Well,
if you still insist on choosing a DSLR camera, then you can compare the Canon EOS 1200D or Nikon D3300; you can
even compare the two cameras with Pentax
K-500. All three cameras have great features,
fantastic
processor and
lens support or interesting features, and all cameras have APS-C sized sensors. The Canon’s is just a millimeter or so smaller
than the others, but it's not enough to make any significant difference. Is the

Is the resolution size, or the size of the sensor will also make you
confused when choosing a new digital camera?
Nikon D3300 has 24 megapixels, the Canon EOS 1200 reinforced with 18 megapixels, while the Pentax K-500 "only" equipped with 16 megapixels. Please note, the size of the resolution is in fact not everything, because many digital cameras only have 10 MP or 12 MP, as well as modern smartphones have been able to provide good photographs with a resolution of 5MP or 8MP. If you are not going to print your photographs or posters in giant size, then a camera with a resolution of about 10 MP has been very good to produce interesting photographs with the sharpness and brilliant color.

There
is always a logical reason when you choose Canon or Nikon. In the famous website
versus.com, Canon 1200D
gets credit because has a two-stage
shutter is good for taking photos like a pro; apply pressure to the button in
order for the lens to focus, and then press it fully to capture the photograph. Meanwhile, still according to the same website, one of the main reasons why
many people choose Nikon D3300 because D3300 has 2 more focus points, 11
points, while the Canon 1200D is only 9, and Pentax K-500 has the same number of autofocus
points as the Nikon, but 9 of them are superior cross-type sensors.

Just for
your information; The
more the focus points more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus
on. They also give the image sensor is a better probability in identifying the
right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
Nikon D3300 or Canon 1200D will make you calmer because these cameras use
lens-based image stabilization systems. Both kits come with stabilized lenses,
and many of their lenses that have been reinforced with stabilizer technology,
so you do not have to worry when photographing moving subjects or take pictures
in low light conditions, even under certain conditions you can ignore the
tripod, so you are more comfortable when on holiday.
Although Nikon and Canon are gigantic and superior in terms of marketing,
but Pentax is an alternative worth considering. Nikon D3300 and K-500 have
921,000-dot screens, though, where the Canon's screen has 460,000 dots.
Basically the sharpness of the screen on all the cameras already quite bright,
but displays the Nikon and Pentax will look crisper. If you are fond of
photographing objects in fast motion, then the Pentax K-500 can shoot at
1/6000sec while Nikon D3300 and Canon 1200D at 1/4000sec. Meanwhile, the Canon
EOS 1200D can shoot continuously as much as 3 frames per second, and as an
entry-level camera Nikon D3300 turned out to be 5 frames per second, but the
Pentax K-500 was able to take pictures in 6 frames per second in a single snap.
