Not recommended for all beginners, as DSLR was so outdated. Get the mirrorless Refurbished EOS R100 at $299 instead, which is a direct upgrade of the Rebel T7. They have the exact same spec while the R100 is a lot lighter and it has the function to let you transfer images from the camera to pc.
No they all just disappeared off of the face of the planet because you forgot about them.
Thanks OP - repped. If you buy it with the Refurbished EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III there is another discount that took my total down to $288 before tax...

Thanks for the heads up, went with this and the zoom lense for $400.
I had the t6i but someone stole it out of my wife's car.
Family photos and recording kids activities don't look nearly as good on a cell phone, even the high end ones especially once you zoom in it's just all noise with the tiny cell phone sensors.

I respectfully disagree. Photo and video look pretty awesome with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra even while zoomed.

This is a decent beginners camera. I work in a college photography department and we loan these out to students. The kit lenses are all serviceable or trash, depending on your perspective and experience. Fine for beginning through intermediate photo classes which just require manual controls and RAW.
One thing to consider is the Canon T7 cameras we have were hobbled with a blanked out center flash hotshoe pin, What that means is any generic off-camera or studio radio triggers you use will NOT work with this camera. Ours have a black plastic disc instead of a metal hotshoe to keep you (we assume) from using anything but Canon flash products on the camera.
Anecdotally, one of our students bought a T7 from a gray market (Adorama?) source and their version has an active center flash pin. So YMMV.

I don't know much about lens as I only shoot product photography indoor, but I feel like the kit lens not doing well with stabilization as most of my images are blurry while shooting in manual mode handheld. So I think any lens that has a better stabilization feature would always be better.

I bought this camera last year as a gift for someone and it did in fact have the center pin. I had to double check because I got them a hot shoe adapter for some external Alienbee flash units and it needed the center pin to fire.
Although now I'm debating getting the R100 as a upgrade.

Strange! We bought 10 of these new several years ago from B&H and they all came this way - no hotshoe center pin. We rolled with it but as I said others have not gotten this weird version. It only affects students when they want to shoot in the studio here.
For what it's worth, mirrorless is the standard camera we suggest folks buy, not DSLR. There is no going back and the lenses are finally available for mirrorless.
Really good intro camera, cheap don't gotta worry about it getting damaged .
Best thing is good lenses are cheap .
Hell the early mirrorless use the older sensors . [Rp and the r6]

Canon is great since it has good backwards compatibility. And with a 150 adapter u can use them in mirrorless when your ready to upgrade.
the mirrorless hype is a damn lie for the most part show people 2 photos from 2 different cameras they can't tell [unless your doing advertising for billboards but then your using a larger format sensor]
I respectfully disagree. Photo and video look pretty awesome with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra even while zoomed.
The main sensor only has 70mm of surface area and the 10x zoom sensor is even smaller, might be good enough in a pinch but there's a ton of noise low light.
For example the t7 has 332mm which is over 4x the surface area which means it has the ability to pick significantly more light in a low light situation.
Don't get me wrong the ultras zoom capability is crazy in a cell phone package but it just can't compete with a DSLR or slr camera.
That being said I still use my phone for most pictures out of sheer convenience but it's nice to be able to take professional photos without paying someone $100 a pop to do so.
