I've been thinking about buying a Canon eos 250d with a 75-300mm. It's the perfect dslr for a beginner that never used an aps-c sensor .but I used my cousin's nikon b500. It's a pretty good camera but it does not have manual mode available which is the only downside of it. oh and nice video again that I got really helpful tips from you 💪
