There's a lot of excellent replies here. Only get the Canon T6 (1300D) if you want an entry level DSLR camera that does not have in-camera dust sensor protection. I would not do it for any price.

Didn't realize about the dust protection, and I'd want that too. The T6 is out.

Also consider a newer STM lens with your upgrade. Both the camera and the lenses together make for the better performance. If you are on a real tight budget I think a used Canon T2i (550D) or Canon T3i (600D) camera (that is excellent with low shutter clicks) would be better than a new Canon T6 (1300D) camera.

I can get a used T4i for $350 and a used T3i for around $280, but none of the sites that sell used tell you shutter count. I'm not even sure how to find out how many clicks my XSi has.
