So Prime Day is literally happening right now and I feel like I'm totally missing out because everyone says this is the time to buy electronics but I am so incredibly lost. My younger sister is graduating in two weeks and I really want to get her a real camera because she's always using her phone and it's fine but she keeps saying she wants to be a real photographer one day. I keep seeing Canon stuff popping up on my Amazon feed but I don't know if they are actually good deals or just marketing fluff to get me to click.

I saw one that was like a Rebel T7? Or maybe it was a T100? I honestly can't tell the difference between them at all and I feel so dumb looking at the specs. My logic was that if it has a higher number it must be better but then I saw some that had EOS in the name and now I'm just spiraling. I have about $550 saved up from my summer job but if I need to spend more to get something that actually works for a beginner I might be able to stretch it to $600 but I'm really pushing it.

I tried looking at the deals page and there are all these bundles with tripods and bags and like 5 different lenses and it seems like a great deal for the price but then I read a comment on a random site saying those bundles are garbage? Why would they sell them if they're garbage? I'm just really stressed because the timer on the deal says it ends in a few hours and I don't want to buy a paperweight. Are any of these actually worth it right now or am I better off just waiting for another sale? I live in a really small town so I can't just go to a camera store and ask someone and the internet is just a lot of people arguing about megapixels and sensors which I dont even understand anyway. Is there a specific Canon DSLR I should look for that is actually a steal today or am I just looking at the same price they usually are? I am so sorry if this is a basic question I just really dont want to mess this up for her...
