Canon has announced that its new D-SLR—the EOS 1300D—wall be available for purchase in April 2016. The EOS 1300D provides complete access to Canon's range of  EF/EF-S lenses. Nearly 70 lenses in Canon's EF/EF-S range can be used with the EOD 1300D. The EOS 1300D uses an 18-megapixel CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 4+ image processor.


Andrew Koh, Vice President of Consumer Imaging and Information Centre, Canon India, said, "Photography as a hobby and sporting a D-SLR camera is quite a rage in India. So is social media, and everybody wants to share their images online with their friends immediately. We are thrilled to launch the EOS 1300D — a D-SLR camera with inbuilt Wi-Fi & NFC. The EOS 1300D creates great looking images and they can be shared instantly as well — thus meeting the requirements of first time users, social media enthusiasts and hobbyists alike."

The camera is equipped with a 9-point AF system that enables quick and accurate autofocussing.

It features a 920,000-dot LCD monitor with which users can focus during Live View shooting.

The EOS 1300D also provides five creative filters such as Soft Focus, Grainy Black, Toy camera effect, Fish-eye effect, and Miniature effect. For some of these filters, settings like strength level, colour tones and focal point can be customised.
