I really want to get a real camera before my sisters wedding in December because my iPhone zoom is just terrible and blurry. I have no idea what I am doing though so please bear with me lol. I keep seeing people talk about Nikon being the best for beginners but when I go on Amazon or Best Buy there are just so many numbers and letters and I dont even know what they mean. Like whats a DSLR vs mirrorless? Anyway since Black Friday is basically here I figured I should try to find a deal but I have no clue which stores are actually good. My budget is probably around $650 max which I know isnt a lot for camera stuff but I was thinking maybe there is a bundle with a lens included? My logic was that I could find a big box store deal but then I saw some people talking about sites like:

• B&H Photo
• Adorama
• Best Buy
• even Costco

And now I am just totally lost. Are those specialized sites safe or should I just stick to Target or Walmart? If anyone knows which specific Nikon model I should look for that might be on sale soon that would be great because I am literally starting from zero here... just want something that takes sharp photos of people without me needing a degree in science to use it.
