If you can afford the higher price, buy the Canon 800D. If you want to save money, the Canon 18-55mm STM kit lens, would be good lens to use. I'm still using my kit lenses. In my opinion, since you are a beginner learn how to use the camera first with the kit lens before spending extra money on more expensive lenses.

+1 Agree with Digi'.

The Dual Pixel Autofocus is IMHO absolutely worth it.  For Live View and Video, the DPAF combined with the touchscreen is sheer magic.

I too would get one of the STM kit lenses.  The autofocus is very well behaved, and completely silent.  A must for video.

Happy shopping!
