Hola K! I started my photography career with a Canon Rebel, and I just love them! They're small and practical. If you choose to buy one of those, also buy a 50mm f/1.8 lens (for a short telephoto), or a 35mm f/2.0 (for a "normal" lens), you'll get the most image quality out of the camera that way. Those lenses, along with the 18-55mm lens that comes standard with the Rebel Kit, would make your photography adventures so much more interesting Hope it helps
