Hi! Just putting a post up, I am a beginner, photographer, and I mostly want to capture landscape/nature photos. I have a limit of about $500-$600 to spend. Just wondering what camera would be right for me. Thanks :)) Also, any beginner tips are appreciated.🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.

Issues with SDXC memory cards being used in Rebels seems limited to only the “entry level” ####D bodies, but not the “advanced beginner” ###D Rebel bodies like the T6I, T7I, T8i, etc.

I would recommend looking into a Canon Rebel T7. The EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 IS II lens is in both kits. You can Click Here for a new camera and lens kit. Or you can Click Here for a refurbished camera body and lens kit. Does this budget include extra batteries and memory cards too.

Stick with Full Size Class 10 32 GB SD Cards (SDHC). DO NOT USE Micro SD Cards in an Adapter these cause the most problems. Also DO NOT USE one large 128 GB SD Card. Use multiple smaller 32 or 64 GB card. Also stick with major brands such as Lexar and Sandisk. Always buy memory cards from a reputable retailer. There have been many reports of counterfeit memory cards from Amazon.

If you want a longer lens the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens is a great compliment to the EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 IS II lens. You can Click Here for the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens in new condition. You can Click Here for the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens refurbished. If you want wider the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM is a good choice. You can Click Here for the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens. When you buy Canon lenses make sure the prefix says EF or EF-S. Canon makes mirrorless cameras too. Those lens prefixes say EF-M, RF or RF-S. Those lenses are NOT compatible with your camera.

@Waddizzle thanks for the correction. I didn't know that had fixed that problem.

I have a T7 and it is good for the $$$$. Plus, the 18-55mm lens offers a lot. There are some other lenses if you decide to to widen the scope of your photos.

You can get an EOS M50 Mark II refurbished from Canon for $560 US right now with a 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 lens, which is a far more modern and capable camera than the T7 others are recommending.
