 📷 If you want to get into photography , you don't need to spend a fortune immediately. For a first camera, I'd look at three routes : Used camera — best value A used Canon, Sony, Nikon, or Fujifilm can give you much more camera for your money. Something like a Sony a6000/a6100 , Canon EOS R100 , or an older Nikon/Fujifilm can be an excellent starting point. Buying used can be especially attractive if you're not sure yet how seriously you'll pursue photography. New beginner mirrorless — my recommendation The Canon EOS R50 is currently one of the strongest beginner choices: compact, relatively simple to operate, good autofocus, and a 24.2MP APS-C sensor. The Canon EOS R100 is the cheaper, simpler option. If you like beautiful colors and a more artistic/retro feel, consider Fujifilm X-M5 . Compact point-and-shoot — easiest If you want something you can simply put in your bag and photograph with, a compact camera makes a lot of sense. C...
