Although it sounds like you've settled on the combo you want to get, just wanted to add in my experience as a DSLR newbie - I bought the other half a 1200d with a 18-55 kit lens for £200 2 Black Fridays ago and then this year we've added the Canon 55-250 lens for £115 and a 50mm Yongnuo that for £40, does a remarkably good job. As a step up from her Lumix point and shoot, it's been absolutely fantastic. We're well aware that we're never going to be using it for anything other than dabbling but it's been producing absolute treats of pictures even in auto mode. So, all in for ~£375 including filters it's done everything we want it to cover from a first time use DSLR.
