DSLR cameras for beginners. Which to choose?

My boyfriend is obsessed with DSLR cameras but has never actually used one. I want to buy one for him that isn't too expensive and is easy to use/ better for beginners. Price shouldn t exceed

Could you help me with picking one out and what brand please?

The Nikon D3300 is an excellent choice. The D3400 is newer and more expensive, but not significantly better. There are also previous models, such as the D3200 that you might find used for good prices. Just be careful with used equipment. Make sure it works and has no damage before buying. Stick with 12 mega pixels or less or plan to use a tripod. Canon T3i or t4i with a 18-120 mm lens package… He will love you forever. Ww Bsbsb Look at the Pentax K-50 dual lens kit. There's no such thing as a dSLR for beginners. They are simply categorized according to budget so we have expensive (entry-level), more expensive (mid-level), very expensive (high-end/full-frame), and sell-the-farm (medium format).

All dSLRs are basically the same. All brands are good. The more expensive you get, the better your shooting experience will be. The Nikon D3xxx series has a learning mode, and the Nikon D3400 should easily fit in your budget. Frankly, I would suggest buying up one level, the Nikon D5600 and a photography course; but that would probably bust your budget big time.

Now answer me a question. How come I never had a girlfriend that is as thoughtful as you? Get him a better specified used camera from a reliable source. That way he can start on auto mode and go all the way at his own speed.
the other way is to buy cheap new and as a result buy twice sooner than you expect,

He can take that 18-105mm lens with him when, in 2 or 3 years, he might want to upgrade. Nikon D 3300
