Bery, or other ST photography buffs, I'm beginning to get the urge to upgrade to a DSLR. Any thoughts on the Canon Rebel T7?

Posted by Meg (aka Mojave) Feb 27 '22, 21:54

Somewhere I have a full-on 35mm rig but it got too heavy to carry, so for years I've had a series of Canon PowerShots.

I want to start "making photographs" again, rather than just taking snapshots.

A top of the line cellphone is a damn good camera. -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 27, 22:27 2
- Sensor and algorithm wise, totally. Some of the glasswork ... not so much. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 27, 22:29 1
  - And I have a bottom-of-the-line cell phone :) -- nm - Meg Feb 27, 22:31
The industry is moving to mirrorless, which means good deals could be had on old DSLR gear. T7 sounds Ok, but T7i or T8i might be better. - Beryllium Feb 27, 22:08 6
- I've had some good shots with my PowerShot but I have some great trips planned and would like something better. - Meg Feb 27, 22:34 5
  - Well, the trick with DSLRs (in my experience) is to decide ahead of time what kind of photos you want to get. - Beryllium Feb 27, 23:00 4
    - And by ahead of time, I mean for each outing, not for buying it -- nm - Beryllium Feb 27, 23:00 3
      - This is one I was looking at. -- (link) - Meg Feb 27, 23:22 2
        
        I could be wrong but it doesn't look like the 75-300 lens has image stabilization. So getting good zoomed shots may be difficult without a tripod. - sycor Feb 28, 05:43
        
        Looks like a good kit. Might be nicer to have a flip-out display viewfinder, but not mandatory. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 27, 23:26
