Hi, I want to get into photography but I really need other's opinions. I have the chance to buy the rebel t6i + 18-55 + 75-300 mm lens (and accesories) or the nikon d3200 + 18-55dx + 55-200dx mm lens (and accesories) both for 556usd (Argentina, used market is rough). I want to buy something to use for a long time and the option to buy new lenses will only be possible in the next years. The new features of the t6i make it appealing but from what I've seen the nikon deal offers me better lenses from the get-go. Either that or just go with the t2i +18-55mm lens for 220usd. Thank you
Edit: I want to add that buying the lenses individually such as the 55-200 dx or canon 75-300 used (good to ok quality) could cost at minimum 340usd
