What camera should a noob like me get?


SHORT VERSION:
I m willing to try any of the following:
- Pentax Q-S1
- Canon EOS1100D
- Nikon D3200

I m mostly in to taking:
- Macro shots
- Landscape
- Portrait

Note:
- Limited choices are due to my budget limit
- I would like to start taking nice raw photos via Manual settings

LONG VERSION:

To start off, I wanted to take awesome shots. I just take photos from my phone (Sony Xperia Z1 then the Z3+. I even considered getting a DSC-QX100 before but the cost is too much for me!) so, going back, I started to feel like it s not enough. Don t get me wrong though, I ve gotten compliments for the photos I take. As I progress, I felt the need to step it up a bit. (i honestly do not prefer a digicam)

I ve always wanted to get myself an entry level DSLR, but I prefer something within the budget. I saw the Pentax Q-S1 (I know, it s not a dslr, BUT IT S CUTE!) and have seen and read good photos and reviews about it (I m considering it because of its interchangeable lens and quality. Im literally a noob, so I cant really base this on specs)

On the other hand, I was able to have seen some DSLRs which levels within my budget: Canon EOS1100D and Nikon D3200. (As much as I wanted to get a Canon 100D, it s over my budget. And I m a girl, so, I m kind of into the smaller stuff)

I just wanted to start appreciating my raw photos as is, basically.

I would appreciate any insight:)
