Kind of have my heart set on this, but don’t know why..lol.

do you think this camera would take good coral pics for a beginner?

I like canons, you should be able to take very good pics, might want to get some filters to see which ones you like best

Seems that as long as certain parameters are met the brand does not matter.

I bought my partner a flipper flip kick for Christmas, she uses it with a iPhone 11 and I think the quality is amazing. Don’t think it will have anything on on a professional camara but for £50 it was a good investment

Here's a list of what I think is very important--

RAW capability
View screen that swivels/angles
Custom White balance

That 18-55mm lens is very nice...........takes crisp and detailed shots.
I wouldn't add that 75-300mm lens till you get a feel what can be accomplished with the 18-55mm.

I opt more for a 90-100mm lense for macro shots as an extra lens.

I'd check around with other vendors and you can get better prices than Bestbuy and also no tax.
