I had a great chat with @scylla_r34 recently and we talked about what sort of gear to get as a beginner photographer. And my response might surprise some of you.
For me, when you’re just starting out it doesn’t matter what camera body you get. Most cameras made in the last 10-15 years will be a great starting point! You don’t have to feel intimidated about making the perfect decision on what to get as your first camera. And there is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ camera or a ‘perfect’ time to buy one. My recommendation is to just get something that fits your budget, can shoot in RAW and manual mode, and allows you to change the lenses.
From there, you will see massive improvements if you just get out there, start taking photos and practicing! 😊 And once you have saved up a bit more money, upgrade your lenses. You will see a more improvements to your images and in the image quality of any camera when you pair it with good lenses!
So just go onto Facebook Marketplace, or eBay, or whatever, pick up a camera that fits your budget, and get out there and start shooting.
