Hi,

So I am getting married soon, and going to Turkey in April for a week after that.

I have been wanting to buy a camera for a long while, but never really ended up with one. I am looking for suggestions for entry level DSLR cameras.

I basically am looking for something that is easy to use, and I can gradually learn to get more advanced with it. I doubt that I will ever use for high speed photography, but something that can do well for portrait shots and good image processing is what I need.

Most reviews say the Nikon 3500 or Cannon EOS 1300D seem to be the most common starter cameras.

I know its very early but since Black Friday is 4 days (and Cyber Monday as well?) , I can keep a look out for deals, id not I can buy at new years sale, or Republic day or Valentines day sale.so no rush, but pls let me which one does should I go for and how much should it be in a sale?

I would prefer Canon, because technically they have more number lenses than Nikon. So whenever you want to learn do advanced photography, you can buy lenses according to your need. Later you can sell the body of the camera and get the new Canon Body, all the lenses will remain the same.

Buy Canon 1300D with 18-55mm and additional buy Canon 50mm 1.8 Lens (7-8K) and Sigma 70-300 DG APO Macro lens (12-14K), if you use this 3 lenses you will get better understanding about lens. Bring this lens along with you for your Turkey tour, this will help you take good pictures.

Let me know what kind of photography you are interested, i will be able to suggest you the camera and lens.

Aren’t entry level mirrorless cameras much inferior to the DSLR counterparts? I don’t want to spend a lot, so mid range is not something I want to spend

Instead of DSLR go for Mirrorless. They are much lighter and easier to operate for the ordinary user.
I would suggest Cannon EOS M100. Comes with 2 lens, 15-45 and 18-200, has great image stabilisation and is easy to use. You can start from full auto state and gradually shift to full manual mode. Extremely light weight and almost as light as a point and shoot when fitted with the standard lens. It even has selfie mode with bokeh effect.
Also has wifi, bluetooth and NFC and photos can be easily transferred to smartphone for sharing with others, while on the move.
