• Do you have any photografic experience?
    If not, your pictures probably won't be any better on a DSLR - however, if it encourages you to take more pictures and practice then by all means go for it.
    You really can't go wrong with anything from Canon or Nikon.

  • So it’s sort of backwards I know, but I’ve got an Olympus OM-10 that I’ve been using for a year or so and my phone for anything digital, and I’d like something that takes nice photos but doesn’t involve the faff of getting film developed all the time.

  • You could get a grey market D3300 body new on eBay pretty cheap and use the 35mm 1.8.

    A word of warning though ... I swear my iPhone actually takes better pictures in low light (maybe because of the shorter focal length lens and therefore less shake?).

  • What do mean by "nice photos"?
    I'd argue that a DSLR will not let you take nicer photos.
    You'd getter more shallow depth of field, depending on the lens you use and high iso-performance might improve, but it will not make your photos any better, that's up to you.
    I'd invest the money in a nice prime for your Olympus instead. Something like the 17mm or 25mm f1.8.

    But if you're hell bent on a DSLR a Nikon D3XXX with a 35mm f1.8 is great bit of kit.
