Will Canon give one away together any 1D/5D purchase, so your children can play with it? It would be a great way to take them away from phones for a while.

Who would buy this when they could get a T7 or a cheap Mirrorless with much newer tech?
The only way anyone will buy this is if its like $150...
You have the point! And the promo will be: "Buy one 6D Mark II or 5D Mark IV and you get one 4000D with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens for free so your 3+ years old children can learn how to use a real camera!" And they will learn it and when they grew up they will buy a 6D Mark IX (or whaterver it will be) and will get a 40000D with 18MP APS-C sensor and Digic 4 processor and 18-55mm kit lens for free for their children (your grandchildren). And the cycle will go on until the 400 billion 18MP APS-C sensor and Digic 4 processor produced until 2016 will be out of stock. So we can wait for a Canon EOS 4 x 1090 with the same technology and specifications of the 1200D in the distant future. And we will sing the song: "In the year 2525, if photography is still alive, you can still use a 18MP APS-C sensor with a Digic 4 processor, oh oh oh ..."LDS said:Will Canon give one away together any 1D/5D purchase, so your children can play with it?

Iago said:With a plastic lens mount, the only lenses that may be safe on this would be pancake or 50 mm f/1.8. I believe in Glass before camera, but now Glass could break the camera? I have taken some great pictures with an 18MP sensor and L Glass. This camera risks giving the end user a poor experiance. Canon's entry level camera is still the SL2, at least that is what I would recomend.

You could probably count the number of eventual 4000D owners with more than the kit lenses on the fingers of one hand...
This camera is designed for one thing - and that's to give a high-profit easy sale item at the low end for the multitudes of camera shops and other stores around the world to sell to unsuspecting people who think they want an "real camera" but don't have a lot of money.
No-one who reads reviews will buy this, this camera is for those poor people who rely on store salespeople to tell them what to buy.

Kethean said:Anyone else notice that it's using the old 18-55 III? No IS has been used before to keep the cost down, but it was never very popular. Maybe they had a stockpile of those to get rid of too?

9VIII said:Ironically, this camera with the EF-S 55-250STM is better than any L glass option under $1,000, and my most used lens on the 5D2 was still the 40mm Pancake.
Besides the plastic mount there is nothing limiting about this camera, it will give absolutely professional quality results, which should be obvious with how many professionals seem to be adopting crop systems these days.

I think you're pretty safe there... There isn't a whole lot of L glass under $1,000
The 100L Macro, 200 2.8L, 70-200 f/4L, 24-70 f/4L, 24-105 f/4L, 16-35 f/4L IS,17-40 f/4L AND 135L would all beg to differ.
