Friend of mine is after a DSLR for his missus for Xmas. Has £500 to spend, inc lens.
She's just completed a beginner's course.
I used to have a Canon 100D, and reckon the 250D would be a decent option, especially in terms of handling. But, of course, the lenses can be big.
Friend has been looking and round-ups and notes the Nikon D3500 is well-reviewed.
I've mentioned that mirrorless may well be a better option.
As a Fuji X-T3 user, I recommended an X-T20, despite its age. But even that will push over budget with a lens.
Maybe an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III with 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses? It's just £415 at Currys. https://biSPAM/3oRtCQ6 (slow lenses though)
What would YOU recommend? Any help appreciated!
(I've suggested going to a store to try, but I think he wants it to be an Xmas suprise)
