The Nikon D7100 with an FX 28-300mm lens if you can swing the cost. I got the lens used mint condition for $760 and the body is about $1000
Sweet deal!

My heartfelt suggestion...when my son was 12 years old he wanted his own horse...so being parents..we bought him one..even tho we had several of our own..that lasted almost 11 months before he went on to other things.
So I continue to suggest a bridge
Wildlife with a bridge...sx 50 and sx 60 (canon)
Here are a few examples of what the little cameras can do

Please keep in mind Nikon has better sensors than Canon - either way go with the Tamron SP 70-300 VC lens as a starter.
Thank you, I will pass this on to her.

Thank you for your suggestions, I will pass them on to her. I do believe she eventually plans to shoot BIFs. Sad that there is any hand slapping on this forum.

The Nikon D7100 is likely the best DSLR crop sensor camera available judging from comments on the Hog for the past year. A D7200 is rumored to be coming soon which will drive the 7100 prices down. That might leave more money available for GLASS which is the most important part of the whole deal. Try to buy an FX lens which can be used on the inevitable full-frame sensor upgrade when she buys the next camera body.
Thank you for your comments, they will be passed on to my niece.

Unless you are in to sports or wildlife. Then the new Canon 7DII wins hands down.

Thank you for your suggestion, The Nikon she is think about comes with a 55-300 lens and is on sale now, so is the Canon; she is having a hard time deciding and I hope comments and suggestions from everyone will help her make a decision

My niece is getting her first DSLR and wondered if the Canon D70 with 4-5.6 55-250 lens or a Nikon 4-5.6 55-300 would be a better camera for wildlife photography and for a DSLR beginner.
The Nikon 55-300mm Lens is one of the better Kit Lens on the market.
I assume you're talking about a Nikon DX Format camera, probably the D5500???

Thanks so much for your input; Christmas took care of her problem with a Canon.
