A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

for that price range my brother suggests the Canon T3 or the Canon T5.

the T5 is what he's got.

if you were willing to spend a little more he Suggests a Cannon T3i or a used 60D.

I really like Canon, had a Rebel T3. My son is still taking great pictures and video with it. I have D60 that I purchased 3 years ago and it is a wonderful camera but considerably more money and way more camera than I need. The Rebel was more than adequate for very nice pictures even in difficult settings.

I'm still amazed that it's possible to get a Canon or Nikon DSLR with basic lens for under $500.

A friend of mine bought a T3 last Christmas, and he's been very happy with it.

I have 3Ti and it does everything! You cant go wrong with any of these suggestions. For your budget, go with the 3T or 5T or used 3Ti or 60D.

I'm still using my Nikon FTN and Nikkormat with a bunch of lenses I got when I was in Japan in the 60's. Been wondering if the lenses are interchangeable with the new digital Nikons???

I think a newer phone has a sufficient camera.

Two things that pros do is 1) steady the camera, and 2) light the subject.

Do that and your photos will improve!

The other item is compression. You can have a great camera with huge file sizes but once they get compressed, they lose sharpness.
