I purchased this with 18-135mm STM kit lens.
The seller was Okay Enterprises from Bangalore, delivery was to be made in Delhi and the purchase was fulfilled by amazon, which took 6 days to deliver. Unit is manufactured in Taiwan and imported to be sold in India. I registered it on the canon edge website and got 2 years warranty. Beauty was in the STM lens with pin drop silent and fast autofocus. Current canon price of just this lens is 36k and market price is 32k. This one lens is good enough and having it you won't need the duo of 18-55 and 55-250 which often comes with the pain of bulkiness and the need to switch between the two.
I will refrain from putting camera picture quality reviews in detail as those can be better found out on other websites and YouTube. Let me put my experience related to my purchase with Amazon and a little bit about the bundled memory card and carry case as very few websites have reviewed them. Overall packaging was shock proof with lots of air cushion sacks and bubble wraps, committed delivery time adhered to(though with ecommerce standards these days 6 days is too much). The bundled 8gb card is just fine(not too bad) Lexar platinum II class 10 with 30 Mbps write speed(Market price is about Rs. 320 today). The jpegs clicked at full size highest quality are typically 4-6 Mb heavy so a burst of 5 fps was handled with a minor lag. If you shoot RAW continuous then this is just not the right card for you. Thus I would recommend replacing the card with 45mbps or higher write speed and capacity of at least 32gb. The included branded camera strap is not very comfortable given the weight of the piece and left red marks on my neck when held for an hour or so in round neck tee. The included EOS branded bag just serves the purpose with compartment for the main unit and one side soft partition for one kit lens. Though up to 3 small lenses can be accommodated by cramming them all together.(The alpha bag given with Sony's cheapest dslr is much better looking and has good functionality). I also recommend buying screen guard for the touch screen and lens filter for the protection of front element immediately upon purchase. I will buy these things offline soon.
The included camera firmware was 1.1.3 which can be upgraded to 1.1.4(though not critical) by downloading and transferring it on the memory card.
Overall it is a good product at this price and value for money is more than that with the basic 1200D because of the kit price with the 18-135mm STM lens. I am happy with the purchase but I haven't yet used it extensively. I guess a vacation or two would let me feel more at one with my purchase.
