Lastly, you can also consider a manufacturer refurbished cameras. This can let you get last year's higher model at a much lower price. Hope this helps, happy to answer questions on any of that.
The SL3 does however have better "iso" range which is the equivalent of film speed. Higher speed = more adaptable in low lighting conditions, but may cause staticy pictures at higher settings.
You'll get years of use out of any camera, so don't stress about having the latest and greatest.
Of the canons, the two base units T7 and SL3 are pretty similar. The SL3 has a newer sensor and shoots 4k video, but I find video to be an afterthought on a dslr and never shoot it. The T7 is a solid starter and a good deal cheaper, and you won't notice if it's not the new-hotness
The camera body itself is almost less important than what lenses you get with it. You don't need to spend a fortune, but putting a little more money into a couple lenses gives you more range. Also consider, do your friends/family have cameras too? Getting the same brand allows you to share lenses
Canon Rebel is probably the go-to these days for entry and consumer level DSLR cameras and they're solid cameras. Nikon and others have transitioned to mirrorless which is basically just the same lens setups but with a digital viewfinder instead of a mirror. Mirrorless tends to be more compact
I used to have to work "Black Thursday" when all the retailers were open on Thanksgiving. Thankfully this has faded, but my hatred of every person who came through those doors was palpable
At best, it has gotten rained on and hit with sprinklers and left to ferment like a sourdough starter on a warm windowsill. The other possibilities for what a random bus stop pillow have come in contact with are best kept out of polite conversation
The first chud who rides his incelmobile into battle will 1) die in a hail of bullets 2) get stuck on any terrain rougher than pavement 3) die again when the battery compartment ignites
The kicker is, the cybertruck is bulletproof in the way that if a cow is born in a tree, then it's a bird.
The paneling will stand up to *some* handgun rounds but are shit fucking useless against steel core handgun ammo or *any* rifle round. Also the windows will not stand up to any bullet.
Continuing evidence that tremendous skill in one area does not translate into others, and everybody needs someone in the room to say "hey, what if instead we DON'T do that"
I had a double major in history and political science and I think my thesis was 15 pages? It was on Islamic history so IDFK, they gave me the magic document and now I work in IT and I'm really good at bar trivia. Yay, college.
