Looking for a new SLR. Advice please.

After not having an SLR for over 5 or so years it is time to get a new one. Myself and my wife like taking photos and we have only been using our phone cameras. Obviously as good as they are, they can't do lots of things that a camera can do.

We like taking photos of our son, dog and general out and about pics. Myself, I like to mix it up and do more DoF shots, maybe using light box for macro objects, flowers etc.

Having looked around and seeing there are hundreds to choice from we have seen a good offer on the Canon EOS 100D. It is from Very which my wife has an account and seems to be the cheapest offer currently at £349.99 and it comes with two lenses.

Canon 100D 18Mp Camera with Twin Lens Kit 18-55mm STM & 75-300mm

It has good reviews not just from Very but other places too. Would this be suitable for our needs? Anything that I should know about this camera?

Edit: I am quite ok at using an SLR as I have used them before and know my way around the settings and what not. My wife not so much. As this is sort of a starter camera I am guessing she won't find it difficult to use. She has used her Grandads mega SLRs over the years so she knows a little about them.

Thanks for the reply. I had a look at that site you mentioned and have no idea what to look for haha...

Does shutter count have an affect on what I should go for? What lens would I need for :
1. photos of people (portraits) and close ups of my sons face etc
2. Landscapes or varying distant photos
3. Macros, flowers rocks and stones and closeups of hands, feet and toys
4. I work in a pub and will be taking photos of staff and guests candid, I would like to achieve the focusing on tow people chatting and having the background out of focus. I know this can be done with many lenses and down to getting the settings right before shooting but is there one I should look at? Pub has lowish to warm light, cosy feel to the place if that helps.
