Nice! that's awesome, been wanting to get into photography for a while now. I've been doing a lot of research on cameras. It's overwhelming. Everyone has a different opinion. to be honest, I don't even know where to begin...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
picking your fist camera is a challenge for sure and I totally agree there are so many different opinions its hard to know what is good advice people tend to think the brand they have is the best
So I wont push the Brand i use as that wont help but I will say the following
I always say the best camera is the one you have with you, even if it is a cell phone camera, they have come a log way
Secondly you need to consider how far you want to get into photography, it can be a very expensive hobby, if your looking to just be able to get better photos than you could with a phone then a bridge camera might be an option for you and you may ask what is a bridge camera, its the bridge between a point and shoot small camera and a DSLR or mirrorless camera where you can change lens, bridge cameras often have a built in lens that gives you the ability to zoom in and out.
thats how I started into photography again, I was into photography in the 70's with a film camera but then with all my travels I got out of it, and started again in 2006 II think with a bridge camera
One advantage of a bridge camera is you cant change lens so it saves you money having to buy different lenses
But I should say there is nothing wrong with a point and shoot camera either, they are relatively cheap, small and easy to carry around and always have with you
I hope this hasnt confused you anymore and feel free to ask any questions
