Starter Camera

Greetings,

I am currently looking to purchase a DSLR camera, and I think I have settled on a Canon EOS T5 (or maybe a T5i, I haven't decided yet). I have used a 35mm since I took a photography class a number of years ago, and while I love film and the developing process, I want to move past the 35mm (and my iphone camera, haha). I was wondering if anyone had experience with a T5/T5i and if you all had any other recommendations. The reason I am looking at this camera is its more affordable price for a grad student, relatively simple interface, and positive reviews for a "beginner" camera. Any thoughts are really appreciated!

Thanks!
