Got it for $300 with a bunch of accessories and memory cards.
How did I do?

Shut up imbecile.

You did good OP, if it came with the kit lens then get a 50mm 1.8 STM and save up for a nice telephoto prime or zoom. It's been a year since I got my T7 and I love it for stills.

Congrats, anon. You have a camera. If you don't take at least 15,000 photos in the next year, you'll have failed. Godspeed.

It seems very nice, too bad it's EF-S. The other choice is the 70-300mm III which is not as good optically but can be found for cheap, I got mine for $65.

Pretty good. Now get rid of the shitty kit lens and get a 17-55 f2.8 lens. It's basically an L-grade lens equivalent to 24-70 on a full frame camera.

Congrats. I recently got a canon eos rebel t7 as my first camera and I've been looking into getting a new lens and I've been looking at the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM. Anyone have that lens that can give more info? Good lens or look for something else?

That's an excellent lens but a bit overkill for someone who just got his first camera.

You could look into something like the 55-250mm IS STM and spend the rest on a nice 50mm or 85mm, and you'll still have cash to spare.

I just want to echo what others have said. The 55-250 is an awesome lens. It's sharp and the focus is near-instant. I used it to shoot motorsports last summer and got some great results. It's also good for birds and portraits.

You did well if you wanna drop it in 3 months.

You did bad if you actually enjoy photography. Honestly it would be best if you had read a photography basics book, try it with your phone's "pro" mode and decide to buy for image quality. Your best bet would be to invest in FF right away and a good zoom.

Keep it in manual. Only save the good ones. Don’t edit.

After a few years you’ll be good.

Exposure and focusing are neccessary but easy part of taking photos.Trying to keep it manual for manual is a recipe for misexposed and missed photos. One should learn to use manual controls when needed, but manual exposure just a tool to use when other exposure modes do not cut it.
The challenging part is taking interesting photos.

I absolutely agree that photos need to be interesting. But you really learn the camera in manual. You tune it just right with some test shots and your flowing.

I switched over to Fuji and sadly miss the ease of switching ISO on the Canon. Fuji is perfect for walking around in aperture priority and I can appreciate it and get good shots but the camera is doing most the work.

A Canon you really get to express yourself. You get the most of it in Man mode.

They call it romanesco style or somethtz it's a focaccia base. Tastes ok but I prefer a crispy base

Horrible too, alla tabula is not real pizza.
>a focaccia base
That makes more sense, it's a genoa bread without the toppings and extra cheese.
If food is too small for the plate one trick you can do is put it near the closest side and shot in a more acute/lower angle, like the pic related but with the slice nearer. That way the plate looks "more full". If it is too much food then the shot is higher.

It’s called something different here, but it’s a solid platform to learn on.
Shoot RAW + JPEG and save the good ones until you want to process RAW, it’s easier than you think, especially with current software like Luminar (software battle inevitably ensues…)
I’ll try to find something I liked off my old canon.
Ok here’s a JPEG I found, wish it was RAW now.
No real editing as such, and took it accidentally while trying to see what had my son’s attention outside.

always paying less for gear is good. it's actually using the gear and not just getting bored once the dopamine from your purchase wears off and buying more gear convincing yourself you "need it" to take good photos.

what you need to fucking do is go take photos and then come back and post them. then we can tell you if you did good.
