I want to buy a DSLR camera. This will be my first DSLR, I am willing to pay 400-500. Whats the best low end one for beginners? If there is something higher then that price range for beginners lmk.
My buddy was talking about Nikon D3100 or Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2MP DSLR

I just got the Nikon D7000 and I love it! It's amazing! But thats a little out of your price range. If I were you I would save your money and buy a Full Frame DSLR though.

Thats ridiculous for a beginner.

Ive heard the d3100 is a fine starter camera, I started with a D5000 and I loved it for a long time. Up until I felt like I had surpassed what it was capable of (which took about a year and a half or so, lots of learning before I made the switch to full frame).

Yeah, I wanted to start with something that was a bit easier for a beginner. I didn't really look at the D5100 but its only $100 more so I mine aswell pick that up.
