T5 or SL1 ?

[dancingdiva]

I am a hairstylist and I want to take my  client portfolio pictures to a better level than my current Iphone 6 camera.  I do have an old point & shoot canon s5is but it's been recommended that I upgrade to a dslr so I have been doing a tad bit of research and ended up at the refurbished section here on canon.  My budget allows for either the T5 or SL1.

The T5 has one either with just the standard 18-55mm lens or I can choose that plus the 75-300mm lens. The SL1 is only with the 18-55. May I ask for suggestions on which would be a better fit for my specefic use? I desire better quality images than that of my Iphone.

I will use it primarily for taking pictures of my clients hairstyles both indoor and outdoor. 

Thank you kindly.

Oops, I forgot to add ...  Do a web search for "  exposure triangle  ".  It will be a blur the first time you read about it now.  After you use the camera some, take that class, and watch the Canon videos, hopefully it will make more sense.
