This site is the first simple, low-end, cheap: entry SLR Canon EOS 1300D

Found Zhang Da Ma, no one sun 1300D, it seems worth mentioning. In fact, the camera is not as bad as you said, but there are many slots, especially the COMS...................

I like to use SLR, I want to buy a starter SLR as a preparation machine, looked at the Canon 100D, a battery can only shoot eyepiece viewfinder can only take 380 photos, there is no WIFI and NFC. Looking at Canon's low-end SLR this year, it was only 1300D. Looked at 1300D, is about the 650D configuration, using the 2014 launch of the DIGIC4 + chip (at the time the card machine dedicated chip), a battery can eyepiece shot 500 shots, think it is OK.

Because it's cheap, it won't be too painful to use a crash. My friend never said that it was a toy, but the toy was also much stronger than a card camera that plundered a few thousand dollars—except for the volume. The lowest-end SLR is such a thing, and it is required not to be so high.

I also concisely do the comparison between 100D and 1300D, you can see 1300 is much larger.

In fact, upgrading the 100D to 24 million pixels, plus WIFI/NFC, other parameters are not upgraded, and it is also very popular as a second generation. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Canon EOS 1300D entry SLR

I bought a parallel 1300D on a certain treasure, the body spent about 1550 (price and 100D parallel imports almost). Yes, I only bought the fuselage.

The front is very simple and there is no preview button for the depth of field. The small lamp between the shutter button and the lens is not a focus lamp, it is a countdown lamp.

To use the depth of field preview, go to the menu settings. This feature will not be available on other low-end brands.

920,000-pixel LCD screen works well, but it cannot adjust the angle and cannot be folded. You can see the right side of the screen, there are more buttons on the body, it looks professional.

But looking at the shoulder on the left, bare, it was very low. In addition to the lens mount button, there is no button to the left.

The flash start button is also integrated next to the dial. It can be said that the right hand has operated all the functions. There is no left hand.

Starting from the left: HDMI, MiniUSB, shutter cable jack

The battery and memory are stuck together.

Canon 40MM STM Lens

Another 510 full-frame cookie shots were made using 510 Canon 40MM STM white lenses on a certain treasure. (White models are specially produced for 100D, but black models will be more expensive than white models 160)

In order not to let the white of the lens be too prominent, set two lens protection rings, anyway, I only use AF, without the need to toggle the AF/MF switch. Because the STM is electronically focused, fixing the focus ring does not affect the focus during AF. Nikon's LOGO on the protection ring, note that there are also SONY's LOGO on the shoulder strap.

Use evaluation

Due to the absence of mixed focus, the live view focus is slower, so the touch focus function is not.

The high flash pop-up height prevents the lens from blocking the flash. The flash supports strobe light and is used as a focusing light.

Antique 9-point focus, eyepiece can only display EV, shutter, aperture, ISO, flash data.

Using the millet 5S PLUS phone to pat pat 1300D's NFC position, it snaps. The response time is a little slow, and it may be that the compatibility between the two is not very good. The success rate of NFC is only 60%, and it often prompts me to slow down. The millet 5S PLUS and the Sony A6000 use NFC without any problems and they respond quickly.

In general, this article says that the use of NFC is not very effective, nor can it be touched on the screen of the mobile phone.

After A6000 sets of leather bases, NFC becomes insensitive, and the camera prompts you to use a mobile phone to scan the QR code.


1300D and Nikon D750, compare the size of the shape. Although the 1300D is seen to be smaller than the D750, it is not necessarily a very small 1300D, and there is still a lot of compression space for the 1300D. (This Nikon D750 is a problematic batch, but I have not yet replaced it).

A comparison of A600+18-55MM.

Then use the M/P file to shoot some. My technique is poor and it doesn’t look like it. Because the machine was found to be a bit problematic, the sample shot was not much.

Purple is not obvious.

What is this thing? Just peeled? Do not scare it.

Come to a conclusion: the lens is not mirror.............

Look at the battery again and use the E10 battery, the same as the 1000D/1200D, without the latest 760D battery E17. Electricity can only support the shooting of 500 photos, I feel that life is not long enough.

Look at veteran Nikon this year to introduce a more compact and lightweight D3400, using the EN-EL14a small battery, but already support the shooting 1200 photos. So if you want to travel for a long time without charging, Nikon D3400+35MM1.8 is also a good entry option.

I also purchased the necessary artifacts for this photo studio. The resident of the power station will not change the battery from now on, although it is inseparable from a long row of plugs.

As the current low-end SLR of Canon, it still supports EOS Utility software. Other brands of low-end cameras do not support this feature and the software they support is also charged. Use this software to connect the camera on the computer, you can adjust the data on the computer, photos are stored directly into the computer, while shooting and selecting pictures, Taobao gangage weapon. And this software is genuine and free, so it is one of Canon's SLR's welcome in the studio.

1300D is also on the support list

(Standard does not provide a CD, the software must be downloaded on the official website, the size of about 100MB. Digital Photo Professional, 180MB or so)

Unexpectedly: When I was about to use the EOS Utility software for the first time, I found no response to the USB cable and the HDMI cable. Without the two functions of USB and HDMI, for me, the value of this camera is half of its value . Do not think, and quickly find a treasure to return the goods (have confirmed receipt)..... Sure enough, there is no such a refreshing East, negotiate, package, fill in express orders, called express, and spend a lot of time.

Use my personal understanding to sum it up:

The advantages of SLR now: Fast start-up time, long standby time, optical viewfinder, convenient operation, large lens group and high quality and low price

The current disadvantage of SLR: large size, can not USB charging

I think SLR has only two ways to go: one is more mini, and the other is more professional.

(Against this USB issue, I blamed me for buying parallel imports)

to sum up

1300D advantages: cheap, WIFI, NFC, convenient operation

Disadvantages of 1300D: New technology can not be decentralized, bulky, can not turn screen, the old battery model is not universal

Not professional, then the mini bar. I think the biggest disadvantage is that it is bulky. If it is small (100D is as small), I will forgive you for the shortcomings of the new technology.

This 1300D is suitable for photographers to take passport photos, Taobao small studio shots, or people who have only three minutes of hot shooting........................ ..............If you really like photography from now on, you have to upgrade, and you need to spend 1550 dollars to start tuition is not expensive.
