Which of these cameras?

KinnegadKid

Morning All
I have a budget of around €300 for a DSLR Camera with WiFi.
Which of these would you recommend.
Canon Powershot SX430 20MP 45X Zoom OR
Nikon B500 16MP 40x Zoom.
If some body has any thoughts on these or has another camera that would be
of interest to me I would be grateful of any input. Thanks in advance.

Am I missing something or are neither of those a DSLR? For me, the main aspect of something being DSLR is having interchangable lenses.

They're fine. I bought someone a Nikon Z80 recently. Also a grand camera. They're fine if you don't want to spend a huge amount. Just commented so you wouldn't buy it thinking you could change the lens after!

These are "Bridge" cameras not DSLRs as above.

IMO thats a dead segment that doesnt make sense anymore with the exception of the likes of P1000 for entry level nature shots of birds etc.

What about stretching to a Nikon D5300.

Nikon D5300 is a good option. My first was a Sony A5000 and it was great. Was €330 with a basic kit lens. Then I slowly got a few more lenses. You could probably get a Sony A6000 for that, maybe second hand. Nikon and Canon have similar mirrorless type cameras.

That price is suspect. Looks like that seller is selling grey imports at best, and likely refurbished cameras. Something not right there.

OP, the main question you should be answering is what do you want to be use this camera for? Is there something in particular you want to shoot? Nature, birds and things like that? Or maybe you'd just like to get to know photography better in a more general sense?

There are tonnes of cameras to choose from, even DSLRs which should fit your budget.

Honestly, I would be recommending you look at a compact camera and not a DSLR. A DSLR is a big item to carry, and will not necessarily take better photos than a lot of compact cameras out there. Especially without wanting to shoot in RAW and edit your photos. In order to get the best out of a DSLR you have to shoot mostly manually and then want to edit your photos after.

Something like this:

But plenty of other cameras would suit you under this budget too.

You're right enough, just checked back and see that I paid £520 for the D5300 and that was a good deal at the time.
