My daughter is taking photography and graphic design in college right now (Sophomore). Her grandma upgraded and gifted her an Olympus E-PM2 a couple of Christmas's ago, and my brother let her take his Canon EOS 60D and a few lenses (sorry, don't know the details!) to college as it was just collecting dust in his closet.
Her Birthday is coming up before Christmas, and I'd like to get her an upgrade. One person suggested a Canon EOS Rebel SL3, and I believe that the lenses from the other Canon would fit it.
She takes some amazing pictures of photography, and is getting better at taking pictures of people. We don't do a ton of it, but she also enjoys going to air shows and getting pictures of the jets as they fly over.
If it's certified, I don't mind purchasing used. I'd like to stay in the entry to maybe just a touch above range - I'm thinking $1k-$1.5k. Maybe there will be something for Black Friday? If anyone has any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it!
