Model overview based on user reviews  
The Canon EOS 1200D kit 18-55 is a digital SLR camera designed for beginners, offering intuitive controls and numerous automatic modes that make it easy to learn photography. It features an 18-megapixel sensor that delivers excellent photo quality, especially compared to compact cameras, and performs well even in low-light conditions. The camera is lightweight and comfortable to hold, although some users find it a bit bulky with additional lenses. While it lacks a touchscreen and has a slow continuous shooting speed of 3 fps, it compensates with a simple menu and the ability to use a wide range of Canon lenses. The battery life is decent, supporting up to 500 shots per charge, but some users recommend having a spare due to its relatively weak capacity. Overall, the Canon EOS 1200D is a well-made, user-friendly DSLR ideal for amateur photographers looking to improve their skills.

A good camera for a not too demanding beginner enthusiast))
25 January 2016 
When choosing, I wanted to get an inexpensive yet modern DSLR camera that would delight with plenty of manual settings and fast shots in AUTO mode. I bought the EF-S 18-55mm IS II lens and I'm completely satisfied with the camera choice.)))
You experience the first pleasant impressions when holding the camera. The high-quality plastic with rubber inserts feels comfortable and secure in your hand. The camera is very light (for a DSLR), weighing less than half a kilogram without the lens, and with the EF-S 18-55mm IS II lens, it weighs about 700 grams. The dimensions are also quite moderate.
The photos turn out excellent, with good detail and color reproduction. The white balance is almost always accurately determined, with rare issues under artificial lighting, but thanks to the 14-bit RAW format, most mistakes can be corrected during post-processing. In the dark, at high sensitivity, noise becomes noticeable only at 1600 units. You can shoot at higher ISO levels, and with noise reduction during post-processing, the problem is fully resolved.
It can shoot full-fledged and quite high-quality Full HD video.
The diopter adjustment was very useful, otherwise, with my nearsightedness, using the optical viewfinder would have been difficult.
Weak battery. Had to buy a second one almost immediately. Fairly slow continuous shooting, no more than three frames per second. Slow focus in Live View mode.

The camera is designed for beginners and is easy to learn!

I took it on the recommendation of a friend. In short, the advantages of this camera are that with good photo quality (the sensor costs 18 megapixels), it was designed taking into account the requirements of beginners in photography. That’s why it has intuitive, simple controls with numerous prompts. This camera helps you learn photography. In addition, you can install any lens from Canon’s huge range on it.
Helps to learn photography, light and small
For me - only advantages

Perfect camera designed for an inexperienced photographer!

I am a photographer with a little experience (I used to shoot with a Canon PowerShot A650 and also had a Nikon Coolpix). So there was no point in getting something professional; I first need to learn how to shoot. For this purpose, you won't find anything better than the 1200D. It was created specifically for beginners. The menu is simple, understandable, and even with tips explaining what and why. The mode dial has several automatic settings, so if you get confused and don't know how to set up the camera, you can use them. And the image quality is superb. Especially at dusk: without a flash, point-and-shoot cameras weren't capable of capturing anything. But the 1200D can :)
Ease of control
Many automatic modes
Well made
I would like a movable screen and also a touchscreen :)
