Hello! I have the Canon EOS 80D. I highly recommend it! But before you invest in a pricey digital camera, you should know that starting on a manual film SLR camera is a great way to learn. You can pick one up at a pawn shop for around $50. Once you get the basics on exposure, shutter speed, and aperture, then you should invest in a nice camera. And when you're ready for that, I recommend Costco. :)
