What's your experience in photography? How are you going to use it?  

 

Are you sure you want a DSLR? You can get the same quality in a much smaller and easier to use format. DSLR's are really bulky and most don't have wifi to upload it through your phone. It's just i've seen a lot of people who think "Oh i'm going to get a DSLR because awesome quality, everyone will like my photos" then proceed to always leave it at home because its 1) Too dam bulky, 2) Too heavy 3) Can't upload to social media fast enough

Depends what you're using it for.

-If you still want DSLR quality then a Sony a6000 is a great choice.

-If you want something a little more stylish and compact but still has interchangeable lenses something like a Olympus M4/3 camera is cool.

-If you want a super compact pocket (jacket pocket or purse) camera something like a Sony RX100 Mk2/3 or a Panasonic LX100.

-If you want a great vacation camera I'd recommend getting a Sony RX10 or a Panasonic FZ1000 + a GoPro if you can fit it in budget. 

-If you want something idiot proof  and super portable a high end smartphones can actually take great photos. Combine with a lens kit and you can have tons of fun. 

-If you want to turn photography something more than a hobby I'd recommend going DSLR.  

 

Just remember "The best camera is the one you have on you." Find what you're willing to take and use it. At the end of the day, for people who shoot for fun/hobby it's the people in the picture, the atmosphere, and the memories that make the image.

 

From my experience I have Full Frame DSLR + 2.8 glass, but when I go out and shoot for myself or hang out with buddies I leave it all behind and pick up a small point and shoot. It's just easier to go out have fun and snap a few quick pictures. I try not to be be that dick who's carrying a full bag of lenses and always stopping the group to take a perfect photo.

Awesome answer!

I would just add that if you decide for a DSLR after reading the post from "Dw136" , go with the Nikon D3200 and buy yourself a nice fixed focal length 50mm or 30mm f1.8 aka "plastic fantastic" and you will be very happy. Recommending this because I have hands on experience.
