Cora-Belle … there's no bias, reflected in this response, as I use both brands, and respect each, accordingly. However, something nobody has yet pointed out to you is this - you are comparing an advanced or intermediate DX camera with a rank beginner Canon very basic DSLR. Also, the Nikon D5600 is a current crop-sensor model, with a fully-articulating touch screen, and the T6 has NEITHER feature. Also, it doesn't have an automatic-sensor cleaning mechanism, so, when it comes time to clean it - your daughter will either have to figure out how to do it, herself - or - send it back to Canon, for a cleaning. Also, the Canon EOS Rebel T6 has now been replaced by the T7. So, the bundle you are seeing is on an older model, AND one which is pretty much BASIC, and in no way - a comparison to the Nikon D5600 - which is a pretty advanced camera. A fairer comparison between the T6 and a Nikon - would be the D3500, or prior D3400. However, neither of THESE models have Auto-Sensor Clean, either. You'd have to go back to the D3300 to have that feature. Also, none of the D3000 series have the F-A Touch Screen. Now, then - to compare apples with apples - the comparable DSLR in Canon's line-up to the D5600 - would be the EOS Rebel T7i - note the "i" appendix - this means "intelligent" which applies to not only the auto-sensor clean, but also to the computer technology inside - which is head and shoulders above the ones without the "i" designation. Go look at the CanonUSA web-site. You may be able to find the older EOS Rebel T6i (or T6s - same but with the top screen) at a significant discount over the newer T7. Also, take a look at any deals which might be available on the EOS Rebel SL2 - another beginner model - but with the added benefit of the F-A Touch Screen, which the Basic models lack. This model is also available in white. And, red versions of the T7 and T6 CAN be purchased, but only, directly - from Canon. The red Nikon D5500 (prior model to the D5600) can be purchased, still - look around. But, unfortunately - the Nikon D5600 was never offered in red. However, the D3000 series are ALL available in red. Happy Hunting! And, whatever you should choose for your daughter - I wish both you, and she - the best with it!

Sorry Chris, there is always bias in anyone's opinion as long as they are human. But your stable of entry level equipment from several manufacturers qualifies you to give an educated comment.
