First camera - Thinking of a DLSR?

Hi guys,

Been looking for a decent camera now to start learning and getting much nicer shots. We are expecting in a few weeks so would like to get one before then to take better quality photos than i would with my S7 Edge.

I have a budget of around 250-350 and at the moment thinking of either a Nikon D3300 or a Canon 1300D.

I have no experience with DLSRs but have been warned off a bridge camera. What do you think of the the two cameras above? Also would you recommend any others? With the new baby the lower end of the budget the better

Cheers chaps.

As above if only for your new baby. However if you're thinking of it as a new hobby with the added benefit of better baby photos then a d-slr makes sense.

This is pretty much it. The baby photos are just an added benefit although having to buy a new lens for indoor quality does put me off that slightly with money being tight. I may stick with your advice and stick with the camera phone for baby shots and if i want to start doing landscapes i will make the plunge once all the baby purchases are done haha.
