Currently looking at the Canon T7i with 18-55 lens and adding 55-250 lens to purchase package for total of $788.00. This will be my first DSLR camera, is it better to invest in that camera or go with a mirrorless. If mirrorless, what is a good one in that price range?? Thanks in advance for all responses and for helping out a newbie.
From personal experience, I would not recommend either of those two lenses for high quality images. For pictures, not photographs, of not very big enlargement they are fine. I bit the bullet and bought the Canon EF 24-105L lens and it has brought new life to my T1i. The T7i body would be just fine, but invest in better glass to make it shine.
