Camera recommendation on the budget

[summers98]

I used the t5i for years and loved it, absolutely loved it, but you also mentioned the t5i. If you have the cash flow to spring for something newer like the t5i, I would most definitely suggest it. Amazon actually has a kit deal with the t5i that comes with alot of extra stuff for $619.

Having shot both of the Canons I can confidently say do not buy the T1I. It is just too old to be anything other than a novelty. The T5I is a bit better but even its sensor is a couple generations old.
With the three options presented I would say the D3400 is a better choice for the following reasons.
The D3400 has a newer sensor with more pixels, better dynamic range, higher ISO capability and a bit better colour representation. This camera will do you well for much longer than the T5I.

I think d3400 it's the best option for you

For future reference adding the why will help educate. Otherwise it's just an opinion.

I agree, the Canon T5i is nice but newer models like the T7i, 77D, etc. are nicer
(mirrorless is also good)

A T7i is $850 with 18-55 kit lens. The 77D is $950 with same kit lens. Both in US dollars. So, Canadian would be higher. Neither fits his original statement for a low budget initial camera. Of the choices in his price range. The clear "IQ" winner as you like to say is the D3400!
