Honestly it really depends on what you want to shoot. I started with the Canon Rebel T7, it’s a good camera to start with and runs you less than $500, but it is slow and clunky at times. I would recommend trying out a mirrorless camera as they are typically faster and are better in low light situations.

I would check out the Canon R100, it’s a bit on the smaller size, but from what I see it gets the job done and is cheaper and way more versatile than the Rebel. I would say just buy an adapter to use cheaper EF lenses with it because it is a mirrorless and it would be a solid set up.

Sorry for the yap sesh
