Canon EOS 1300D is best DSLR for entry level for photographers Canon has a lot of better DSLR than this but I will tell you this is decent if you are going to use DSLR for the first time it takes very good quality of pictures and especially this DSLR is made for video recording. This is very lightweight so I can easily take some good pictures with it so I think that it is somewhat user friendly because if you are using DSLR for the first time you may take some time to get use to it this is gives you great value for money it is great camera in this price. When using this camera in sports mode or higher shutter speed you need a good lightning condition otherwise the photo becomes very bad I am happy with the battery life of this DSLR it gives better battery life compared to better version of Canon EOS because it consume less power Thank you
