Re: Need Recommendations: SL3 or T6I

I recently took a chance buying a Canon T7i (800D) camera on-line for $505, including shipping costs.  I could have gotten it a little cheaper, but I wanted to get it from a reputable seller.  Best Buy had the same camera for $699 which is more than I wanted to pay.  The on-line store shipped it via UPS and I had to sign for it.  It was a little bit of a hassle picking it up from the UPS store because I wasn't home when they delivered it.  But at least I didn't have to worry about a porch thief stealing it.  Best Buy will sell the Canon T7i (800D) camera with two kit lenses for $749, which I think is a pretty good deal.  You would have to check with them if they are both the STM version.  Both of those STM lenses are good.

Any way, I thought I would let you know of other options.  A big part of a camera purchase is the lenses.  That gets you started.

Here's a recent picture with my new Canon T7i (800D) camera and the 18-55mm kit STM lens during cloudy and rainy weather.  I just got the camera two days ago.  I had the extra kit lens, so it all worked out good.  I wish I could show you a sunny picture, but in Oregon right now we have been having lots of clouds and rain.

I have thousands of pictures with the Canon T7i (800D) camera and the 55-250mm STM lens, because I have had the combination for a very long time.

Anyway, here's one sample.  This is the "Gold Man" on top of the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, Oregon.  This is also a recent picture, taken a few days ago on February 1st.

What are the prices of the Canon T6i and SL3 that you are looking at?  Do they also include lenses?
