Best Bang For Buck DSLR?

Go to solution Solved by TheGrapeEscape,

Hey, I've been wanting to advance my photography for a while but trying to get a nice, clean photo with a "point and shoot" is a bit hard, I have done it but it took me the whole day to get one nice clear photo out of it, my budget is around 500 but I might go over but not by much depending on how much the performance is increased, if it is a lot I might consider but if it isn't I wont. I have been looking at the Nikon D5200, The Cannon T3i and the Cannon 600D, Right at this moment I think the Nikon is the best buy for me but if you could give me any more that are equal or better to these I would be extremely grateful.

 

Note: This should be in AUD.

 

Cheers.

I have a canon Rebel T3i and yes it is more expensive, but for my first DSLR the layout of menus and settings makes a lot of sense. If you have any questions about it let me know.
