>>3988556The T7 was my first DSLR. It's an OK begginner DSLR. I haven't read through the thread to see what others are suggesting and Im just going to assume its already devolved into Sony vs Fuji and/or a sensor size argument.
IF you have your heart set on the canon entry level dslrs, then buying it new in that kit is retarded and you could find it used for a LOT less. Further the T7i and the T8i offer better values with higher ISO, faster fps, and flippy touch screens for video. The T8i also shoots 4k and has better battery life.
I highly suggest using cameradecision to compare the features and then KEH and/or Adoramas used section to get an idea for a fair used price.
From personal experience, the Canon T7s major drawback is that it's slow to use because it doesnt have enough wheels and buttons for all of the things it allows you to do, and doesn't supplement those lack of controls with a touch screen. To a new user, something like that may sound trivial, but its confusing have to do menu dives to find features and if you decide to upgrade to a better camera you'll have to relearn controls, whereas some of the better higher cost Canons have the exact same control pattern as their (former) flagships.
I think that you can get better (like MUCH better) cameras for around the same amount if you buy used and I think that the results will be more satisfying if you aren't frustrated by a poor user interface from the gate.
I think you should also consider FF and MFT cameras that are in that price range, with the caveat that in the case of and older FF that you dont need speed or super high resolution and with MFT that you dont think you'll be shooting in low-light.
Another thing to consider is that most of the cameras, used or new at your price point wont have IBIS, which makes a huge difference in useability. Most of the cameras at this price point will be relying on lenses that have ois built in and Sony offers the most lenses with ois that fit their e mount.
