I’m looking for a budget camera for the birthday of my girlfrind.
I have seen this one on MPB, what is your opinion guys?
Any recomendation for a begginer?
I have a Canon EOS 2000D, so i would like one wich had compatibility with the lenses

I’m no good in Canons, but from what I read, it’s pretty nice except for one thing – only 9 focus points. An equivalent Nikon has 39. While it’s not the worst thing for a beginner, I’d consider getting something a little better. Or at least, a better condition item of the 700D – it’s a birthday gift after all.
If she isn’t into animal photography, the autofocus should be good enough. If you want compatibility with your camera and have a limited budget, I guess there are not many alternatives. In some points the 700D is better than your 2000D in some worse. Have you seen, that you need to buy a battery seperately?
It doesn’t have to be the most shiny product, it’s more important that it is given wholeheartedly. 
Giving a noticeably worn camera (especially when better ones were available for a little more) doesn’t give the best signal to me 
But hey, that’s just my opinion…
Taking a look i have seen better models as u said, u are right!
You can as well buy a much more worn product. But with much better specs:

I still use a second hand Canon 7d.
The guy at the local camera shop gave me some good advice that it was a camera you could grow into, I’m still using it 10 or so years later.
Similar spec to the 700d but seems more ‘professional’.
Great for wildlife
No touchscreen but an alloy body that a tank couldn’t crumble.
It does use CF cards however
You can pick them up for equivalent prices to the 700d
For example:
https://www.mpb.com/es-es/producto/canon-eos-7d/sku-4115007
The body as I said is tough so they hold their condition probably better than the plastic 700d
Hard to say much without the budget, the goals, the use case (travel? wildlife? family?), tolerance for bulk/weight, previous experience with cameras, etc.
Don’t get me wrong, all models mentioned in this topic are very capable cameras, you can get the 7d for really cheap too, built like a tank, a very capable camera that can yield a decade of joyful shooting while learning photography. At the same time, this comes are a cost, mostly weight: the lightest kits will be around 1kg (!), and it only gets worse from there.
Yes. I found that generally with DSLRs, the older the camera, the heavier it is – D3000 was 536g, while the D3500 was only 365g, which is roughly a 32% drop.
No idea if that applies to pro bodies or mirrorless too, but most newer seem lighter. My kit is a 700g body and the lenses start at 550g-ish. So already a bit of a chonk to hold… But not as bad as telephoto primes that can easily be like 2.5kg alone 
Depends on how she would like to use the camera and what the budget is. If there’s no information (i.e. surprise gift) I would definitely look in the direction of a much smaller camera, preferably cool looking too. Something like one of the older Olympus PEN with a pancake lens, maybe in silver~leather colourway and whatnot. Depends on the person as well, whether specs matter to them or not, whether they’re already a camera geek or not, and so on
She wants to begging in photography as a hobby, mostly because she wants to show her pont of view too, as a hobby.
I’ll take a look at that camera too!
Well, women are notorious for towing around what feels like 2 concrete bricks in their bags at all times, but I think in this situation a casual point-and-shoot would be a much more suitable option.
I would be looking at something like this.

Lens option 1 (24-48mm FF equiv. zoom): https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/olympus-m-zuiko-digital-ed-14-42mm-f-3-5-5-6-ez/sku-4126689
Lens option 2 (35mm FF equiv.): https://www.mpb.com/en-us/product/olympus-m-zuiko-digital-17mm-f-2-8/sku-4070914
Overall look visually:

For the total of around $360
This is a great recomendation! Thank u very much, rlly!!
I would go with Olympus. does not matter which except em5 mk1 and em10 mk1. They both are just not up to date any longer. I was trying to replace my with FF Nikon and Sony. But fall back to Olympus after 2 years of trying
