The Canon EOS 1300D is the company's latest entry-level digital SLR camera. It has quite a lot in in common with the more expensive except that it omits various extra features that the 750D and its predecessors has accrued over the years.
That's not the only camera in the Canon range that the 1300D is similar to, though. The 1300D’s 18-megapixel sensor, fixed LCD screen and nine-point autofocus mean it also shares a lot of features with the, a camera that's now nearly seven years old. Time moves on, however, and there is one big thing that’s included with the 1300D that you didn’t get with the 550D — or with the that this camera replaces, in fact — and that's Wi-Fi.
It’s a feature I increasingly rely on when I want to share photos via a phone or tablet. It's much more convenient than having to grapple with a card reader on a PC or laptop and it's very welcome here.
The Canon EOS 1300D’s Wi-Fi system uses NFC for easy connection with Android devices. The idea is you tap your phone to the left side of the camera and the two devices are instantly paired. In practice, it isn't quite that simple, but after a few goes at it I managed to establish a connection. The companion app, which supports both iOS and Android devices includes remote shooting, image file transfers and GPS tagging.

I found that remote shooting was a little on the unresponsive side, both to update the remote viewfinder and to respond to input, but it did the job. I like the ability to star-rate photos on a tablet, giving you something useful to do during long journeys home, but video isn’t supported over Wi-Fi, either for transfers or remote shooting. Another upgrade here is the in the display department. The Canon 1300D's 3in display resolution is up from 460,000 on the 1200D to 920,000 dots here, which is welcome, but I was never troubled by the resolution of the 1200D anyway. I’d have preferred it if Canon had upgraded the size of the optical viewfinder instead. Its 0.8x magnification (equivalent to 0.5x on a full-frame camera) is one of the smallest on the market and isn’t as rewarding to use as the larger optical and electronic viewfinders offered on other camera models.
The viewfinder, for instance, has a magnification of 0.85x. The controls have been tried and tested on many EOS cameras and on the whole they’re well designed. There are quite a few labelled buttons, and while the labels might not be familiar to newcomers, I always prefer a camera that encourages people to learn the ropes rather than hide useful features out of sight.
One of the exceptions to this rule is that Manual white balance is much harder to access than it should be. Hitting the WB button brings up various white balance presets but calibrating it using a white or grey subject involves jumping through lots of hoops. Tapping the Q button reveals various functions on the screen, which can be navigated using the four-way pad and adjusted using the command dial.
However, when making adjustments via the main menu or the labelled buttons, settings must be saved by hitting OK. Adjusting a setting and then pressing the shutter button means the adjustment is discarded. I was often caught out by this and can’t think of any reason for it. The EOS 1200D did the same thing. Otherwise, it’s responsive and straightforward to use, with nippy autofocus contributing to a shot every 0.4 seconds in normal use. However, it’s worth noting that Canon sent me its 18-55mm STM lens for testing, whereas the 1300D is normally sold with the 18-55mm IS II lens, which may behave differently.
