"I'd look no further than used Nikon D3300 with used Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8 DX lens."

"I love my Nikon d800’s: full frame"

"Nikon d5600: crop sensor"

"-Resolution - D800/D810"

"A used Nikon D3400 and 35mm 1.8G"

"I have a Nikon d5600 with 18-55mm lens and a 35mm prime lens with 1.8 aperture."

"This camera is perfect for my 7-year-old; she loves taking pictures with it!"

"A great bonding opportunity to take her shooting with you and teach her the ropes."

"Buying a Nikon D300 with 50mm 1.8 changed my life."

"Canon 600D with Kit lens"

"Read the title and thought D40 immediately. 18-55mm or a prime lens. Would be fun!"

"The pictures taken by the child were stunning and provided a fun perspective of the wedding."

"He loves the R50 with a 70-300 ii lens, and has learned the value of better gear."

"My daughter loves it and has been really careful with it."

"It's a great idea! Parents should trust their kids with things like that."

"My daughter was pretty careful, snapped killer shots, and had fun."

"The camera was heavy enough that she treated it like it was worth millions, but light enough for her to handle easily."

"Absolutely teach them on a DSLR or something with physical exposure adjustments. Learning the relationship between shutter/ISO/aperture is much more accessible."

"My 8yo is already on his 3rd camera, started from point and shoot at 5yo, now learns 1300D he got from my sister a year ago."

"Sony a6000 with some vintage macro lens! Produces very great results for me"

"If you set it to Single shot mode instead of Continuous, it will train the kid to focus on taking ONE shot at a time."

"It's pretty dang small and it's a fantastic camera."

"I'd recommend checking out Sony Mirrorless DSLRs. There are a lot more here in China and the lenses, filters, and other accessories are easy to get."

"Sony if pro. Fuji if hobby. DSLRs are outdated."

"Sony ZV-E10. It's equivalent to the Sony a6000 series."

"I went with a Sony A7CII as I wanted a full frame sensor."

"I think you could also get good results with the Sony a6000."

"In this budget I always recommend the mirrorless Sony A6000."

"Get a used a6000 or something."

"Pretty much any entry level slr at this point will get you there."

"I made a few recommendations here: [https://www.photocultivator.com/p/best-cameras-for-live-streaming-events]"

"For the cost, I figure that buying an older DSLR, lens, and kit for scanning would be cheaper..."

"The market has moved away DSLRs to mirrorless."

Olympus

"It delivers great photos."

"They do take perfectly good photos though!"

"I'd look at say an Oly E-M10ii used and see what lens you could get used for it."

Fujifilm

"It's been a really good experience."
