Which Canon DSLR camera fits me best?

My 18th birthday is coming up and I really want a Canon DSLR camera. But I'm too confused. At my high school, in grades 10 and 11 we had a mandatory photography class so I actually know a bit about it but there are too many cameras to choose from. I want to take pictures of nature, places and occasionally normal friend pictures. I'm going to England after my 18th birthday and That s where I'm planning to take a lot of nature pictures. I usually take pictures with my friends using my iphone but If let s say I'm spending a vacation abroad, Id take pictures using the Camera. But it's mainly nature and video/vlogging focused. Also, I don't want to break the bank since this would be my first camera and I'm not a pro. So Id like it to be under 1000$. And a camera with good focus. I've used a Nikon camera before since my cousin owns one (don't remember the model) and I liked it but not as much as the canon. I've used a canon EOS 600D (i think it's the rebel t3 in America?) For my photography class, Our class was based on it. I loved it and that was my top choice for picking a camera but I d like to know if there are other Canon s that suit my purpose better.

I don't really think you can go wrong, here. Canon is a very high quality brand of cameras. Even the cheapest ones have fantastic quality in comparison to an iPhone camera. So, just go with whichever one you like the most.

Any entry level DSLR camera would do.

NOBODY MAKES ANY BAD DSLRS. You can safely choose any one you want.

Only three manufacturers make entry level DSLRs. Those are Canon, Nikon, and Pentax.

As price will probably be an issue almost any Canon will give you good results.

Why only Canon? Pentax and Nikon use superior Sony sensors, and Sony's SLTs shoot better video.

Look at All the alternatives, and choose the camera that feels best in your hands - it may well be Canon, but it may not.

Canon can be a good choice. Some reviews give Nikon a little advantage on high ISO noise in stills. Some give Canon the advantage in video features, if you spring for the 700D and not older or cheaper models. The Canon may have the advantage in a reasonably priced telephoto with the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM--reputed to be better than the Nikon 55-200mm AF-S VR or 55-300mm AF-S VR. Some say Nikon left itself at a disadvantage in lens design clinging to the Nikon F mount, whose flange is narrower than the Canon EOS mount that was designed after being willing to abandon its older FD mount.

The Canon 600D would be an excellent choice, but why not go with their latest and greatest, the Canon 750D or 760D? It has all the latest bells and whistles and will last you for the foreseeable future.

It's more about the lenses than the camera body. Any contemporary entry level dslr is capable of great images, canon do however have an extensive and versatile lens system, inckuding sone excellent budget lenses, a 100D or 700d with an ef-s trio of the 10-18mm, the 18-55 and the 55-250 is going to cover almost every scenario you will face.

All dSLRs are basically the same. You can use any dSLR to shoot anything. Just set a budget over $400 and get the most expensive you can afford. The higher the model, the easier it will be to take the shot if you know what you are doing.

Any DSLR will be more than adequate for your needs and wants right now. I'd look at the Canon Rebel series (T3i, T5i, T6i, T6s). However, to get more for your money and to end up with a more affordable kit without sacrificing features or quality, then I'd look at the K50. It's a mid-level body selling for an entry-level price. It's got features like in-body image stabilization that isn't found on any Canon or Nikon at any price. This allows you a lot of freedom and better low-light capabilities than Canon or Nikon.
