We shopped for months and months and months....to the point of Best Buy and other camera stores knowing us when we walked in lol ...we ended up getting the Canon T4i, which we love, and takes sone pretty good photos (I think). A camera guru told us its like Chevy and Ford, just each person's preference. I think the magic is in the lens that's why they cost so damn much! Good luck with whichever you choose! 😁
