You made no mention of budget.

While not the most weather proof, the T7i would be a good starter camera.

The EF-S 18-135 would be a good starter lens.

Your budget is a little low for a new DSLR kit.

I would instead look at buying a used T5i or T6i with an 18-55mm STM lens. You might have some money left over to buy a telephoto zoom lens like a 55-250mm STM.

But it never ends because you'll want a flash and maybe a Ultra-Wide angle lens like the 10-18mm STM. Or maybe a nice "fast" (large aperture) lens like the 50mm f/1.8 STM.

What ever you do, make sure you but the "STM" version of which ever lens you buy. Canon STM lenses are known for their excellent image quality, excellent Auto Focus, low price, and good value.

To buy a new DSLR a budget of about $1,000 is more realistic for an entry level camera and lens kit. If you make photography your hobby, you will want to add more items which can easily double that.

No camera is truly dust proof or weather proof. Higher end cameras models are dust and weather "resistant', but you also need dust and weather "resistant' lenses and that really drives up the price. I wouldn't bother worrying about it for a first camera.

Why not look at a PowerShot bridge camera?

Yes. Even so-called weather resistant cameras should have a storm sleeve if you know you will be in bad weather. At least that is what I do.

Simple solution, the Canon PowerShot G9 X Mark II Digital Camera at $450.

is this good one Canon EOS Rebel T6i Digital SLR Camera

Re: need help picking a drsl camara

ebiggs1 — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 14:55:05 GMT

Any Rebel is a good camera. The T6i certainly qualifies as one of the best. But....it is over $500 bucks.

I would avoid the T5 or T6 as they are very stripped down, and have fewer features compared to the T5i or T6i.

As I mentioned earlier, decide if a DSLR is what you really need. What is your use case? Will you be buying multiple lenses or will you just use the kit lens? What will you be doing with your images? Printing them or posting on Facebook or Instagram?

Once you and we know what your needs are we can advise better. A DSLR is not the appropriate camera for everyone.

If you want to do video, look at the T7i. It has much better video focusing than the T6i or T6s.

The 80D is a fantastic camera with all the features you could possibly want.

It is has been produced for just over 2 years and I expect the 90D should be available by the end of 2018.
