I don't know why stupid people try to equate opinions they don't agree with, with lies.

>>3979736Buying a Rebel for full retail is like buying a new car. You're throwing away half the value the second you open the box and it becomes not-new. You can buy a gently used semi-pro/prosumer/mid-range camera from a few years ago and get significantly a better camera that's more capable, for less money. And setting aside the better autofocus systems, better viewfinders, better shutters, better sensors and other photographic specs you'll find in a used semi-pro camera, they also have significant usability features that I consider essential, like a mini LCD screen on the top of the camera, a second control dial so you can shoot in manual and adjust both aperture and shutter speed more easily, more direct controls and weather-sealing.
The second I recommend a single camera, low-T faggots will jump out of the woodwork to find something to bitch about, which they will do for literally any model and it will just confuse a beginner like you. Use this chart and start looking up camera specs, for performance tests, and camera reviews. Any camera made after 2011, in my opinion, more than stands the test of time, but you might be satisfied with cameras from even a bit earlier. For example, the 7D is a better camera than a T7 in every single way except the old sensor, which won't be quite as good at retaining detail shooting at high ISO. It's not bad, and it's still great at lower ISO--and you can get a used 7D for an absolute bargain--but I'd only use that as a starting point and see how much more you can get as you move forward in design year with the prosumer/semi-pro/mid-range lines of cameras.
