There's hardly a bad camera, just bad photographers.

In short, yes it's good. A guy I worked with had the previous model, the 1100D, and the photos that he took with that looked very nice.

Let me put it this way: do you consider your mother or father or whoever cooks your meals for you to be a good cook?  I guess he/she must have a wonderful set of pots and pans and a fantastic stove to be able to cook such delicious food. If it wasn't for those fantastic pots, pans, utensils, stoves, he/she would probably be a bad cook.

 

There are a variety of cameras on the market, each with similar features and at the same time different features.  All of them are capable of taking photos, that's what the manufacturer designed them to do.  Buy the camera you are comfortable using and can afford and go out their to take photos.

Which 75-300mm? There are some really bad lenses with this focal range.

 

A Nikon D3200, D3300 would offer a higher image quality.
