Ameliaz,

Congratulations.

Buy yourself a spare battery. You will need it.

Would you suggest I get a canon brand battery or do you think an off brand would be alright? The camera comes with a battery and charger, but a few reviews said the charger wasn't good. A lot of the batteries on amazon come with two of them and a charger.

Amelia,

I personally would stick with the name brand from Canon.

If you haven't done so yet, you might also want to download the User Manual.

You can find a copy here in pdf format:

https://www.camerauserguide.net/canon-eos-rebel-t7-dslr-user-manual-instruction-manual-user-guide-pdf/30752

It will have all the specs for your camera like what batteries and which chargers to use, etc

I have found that the search tool in Adobe Acrobat to search inside pdf's to be invaluable.
