I have zero idea about photography. She has zero idea about photography. Her mom has some kind of Canon DSLR that both of us like, but I couldn't tell you what it is, or what lenses she has for it.
So what are we looking for? No idea. I'm not thrilled with the idea of getting a full size DSLR, but not entirely against it either. I quite like the idea of the smaller ones (mini DSLR?) that have a full size sensor, and you still have the ability to swap out different lenses, etc.
Not a specific budget in mind... looking to prioritize good value over low price. Not looking to spend $4k on something though either.
Looking forward to hearing anyones 2c on this topic, so at least I have a direction to start googling (aside from Best DSLR 2018 haha)
