You not going to find 10 fps, maybe 7 at that budget.

I would buy used, maybe a Canon 60D. Body will run you about $500 used (max). You need to invest in the glass. A decent used lens will run you about $600-800. They do have new long reach lenses for $200 or so, but quality isn't nearly as good. You can get these used for $150. The quality is not bad if you are just looking simple images, not high quality photos.

You can spend all day reading reviews, but as a novice you'll never notice the difference between Nikon or Canon.

I recommend going to Sam's or Costco and buying whichever DSLR bundle you can afford. It'll tell you right on the box if the camera is wifi/Bluetooth enabled.

I know the Nikon D3400 comes with a great 300 mm telephoto lens.

I have the previous model, and it has a fantastic guide feature where you select the type of scene you are shooting. It sets the camera up for you and displays the settings so you can learn what you need.
