Camera questions
 

I'm looking for some advice on a new camera. As is indicated by my lousy gun and grip photos I need to upgrade to something easy to use yet somewhat flexible, possibly interchangeable lenses. Not sure what to look for. Would like to be at no more than $400. Suggestions would be appreciated...

i'll ask my brother, he's an amateur photographer and is really into cameras so he may have some ideas.

The last camera I bought was a Canon T3i two years ago,it will run you around $550-$650.I know that's a lot higher than $400,but it's a hell of a camera.I'm just scratching the surface on how to use it properly,but I think it's hard to beat.Canon has newer models out now,you can probably catch a deal on one somewhere.

Canon EOS Rebel T3

The last 2 or 3 weeks I've been using my Iphone 5 for pictures here,don't judge by that.

Agreed!

for that price range my brother suggests the Canon T3 or the Canon T5.

the T5 is what he's got.

if you were willing to spend a little more he Suggests a Cannon T3i or a used 60D.

I really like Canon, had a Rebel T3. My son is still taking great pictures and video with it. I have D60 that I purchased 3 years ago and it is a wonderful camera but considerably more money and way more camera than I need. The Rebel was more than adequate for very nice pictures even in difficult settings.

I'm still amazed that it's possible to get a Canon or Nikon DSLR with basic lens for under $500.

A friend of mine bought a T3 last Christmas, and he's been very happy with it.

I have 3Ti and it does everything! You cant go wrong with any of these suggestions. For your budget, go with the 3T or 5T or used 3Ti or 60D.
