Hi guys, I'm fielding a question for a non-technical Canon shooter about a camera upgrade, but don't shoot Canon myself so wanted to run my thoughts by you guys here.
They have an entry level Canon currently - probably something like a 1100D or 1200D maybe - and looking for an upgrade. By their own admission not for any particular reason. This will be a bit of retail therapy or trying to inject a newfound interest in taking photos. They're keen to get another dslr, not interested in mirrorless.
Budget is around £300 (For non-Brits, the 1300D falls in this budget).
In the Nikon world the newest version of the entry-level camera is the D3500, but I'd also throw in a suggestion of a D7000 for the money, which is an older camera but still has good image quality and is from a more serious range where you'd start to feel the difference in quality and get a nicer viewfinder, autofocus etc.
I think the 7D would be the equivalent in the Canon world - so I'm thinking of offering the suggestions of a new 1300D or a 2nd hand 7D. What do you guys think of these models? Do you have any better suggestions/compromises I could look into? Any caveats or pitfalls to watch out for?
Thanks!
