Re: What about the lens?

Did anyone tell you you will also need at least one good lens to go with that camera, and that the lens is often more expensive than the camera itself?

Of course, you could use the kit lens and produce washed-out looking images... Similar with what your phone produces.

Photography isn't cheap.... I learned that the hard way. Wish someone had told me that around 15 years ago.

The 18-55 kit lens with this T7 is excellent and will serve the OP very well. It may be the STM version which is a bit improved over the EF-S II version. The poster can add the inexpensive and outstanding 55-250 for $200 new if more reach is needed.
