The argument over full-frame SLRs is heated but conceptually clear - Canon vs. Nikon.Such a rabbit hole for what may be the best beginner camera.
I had a D90 and a D7000, and they took excellent images and videos. They aren't full frame though.Any opinion on brands? Brains shared briefly. I’m looking at Nikon d series and Panasonic LUMIX.
It looks like you are headed to the used market. While ebay is a source for used cameras, I don't recommend it for novice camera buyers. B&H Photo, Adorama Photo and MBP camera are three companies I recommend. All of them grade their used equipment fairly. In fact usually their gear is better than the claim. One thing you need to be sure of is that any Nikon gear is the US model and not the grey market or "import" model. Nikon will not service any but the US models and I don't blame them.
Quoted for truth. I wish I couldn't say I knew this from experience.One thing you need to be sure of is that any Nikon gear is the US model and not the grey market or "import" model. Nikon will not service any but the US models and I don't blame them.
This thread has turned into a huge amount of information for me.This thread is making me feel bad about the Rebel T3 my wife had been using for close to 10 years now.
Might have to try to swing a Christmas upgrade for her.

I will buy my camera after the new year. I don’t like crowds. 4 day weekend and stores will be filled with people. I’ll be buying from a store so I can look at product in person. Best Buy has almost identical prices to Amazon and the mail carriers are terrible lately.Thanks to this thread I decided to upgrade my wife from a Rebel T3 to an EOS R6.
Got her a lens adapter for her current EF lenses and one lens on order. Hopefully I can work on getting her a set of L series Lenses over the next couple years.

That R6 is their latest mirrorless correct?
Upload some pictures.
Wow Lightroom does a lot.Well, had to run up the road and meet someone so I perfectly missed those few magical minutes right at sunset. I tried to grab a few pics of my nephew on the zipline afterwards but didn't balance the shutter speed and ISO very well, and stupidly shot close to F6 so not fair, lol. Will try again tomorrow.
Got this on the front porch on my way in though.

Probably should have shot it a litter darker and brought the light up instead of vice versa. But this is with around 5 minutes of experience with the camera...and I had dirt in my eye, and slept wrong last night. Crap, that's my list if excuses for the range...anyways.
