5. Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera: Great for indoor shoots, close-ups and portraits. Sooo, overall a superb cam for starters!

Promising reviews:

“Great starter camera. Took amazing photos on my travels to the desert and the Arches. Autofocus is great and takes superb close-ups. It struggles to adjust to high contrast lighting and can be slow to adjust in general. It is super well made and can survive a beating- which I found out when a dog ran away with the strap in its mouth. *oops*. Happy with this purchase overall!”

Promising reviews:

“The best image quality in a beginner camera. Actually the image quality is better even from other brands high-end aps-c cameras. The overall performance is great. The focus fast and accurate. However, is not the same performance in the video. The focus on video is average but I knew that since the main reason I bought this camera is still photography. This is my third DSLR and I can evaluate how good this camera is. I bought that for teaching my daughter photography. The delivery was super fast however the camera strap was missing. Amazon took care of this.”
