To recap

In the wide world of cameras the 1300D couldn’t be described as an especially exciting camera to use - as it doesn’t push any envelopes and it’s lacking in the kind of headline-grabbing trick shot features that you’ll find on more expensive models - but it’s a really solid performer and an accessible way to start taking better photos. Can’t say better than that.
