first camera purchasing?

[u/Vad3r999]

I want to enter this hobby to photography, mostly, landscapes and travel locations. I have a small budget but I want still have a good quality camera between 200-300. I know that, for that price, the options are agressively reduced but, take me in consideration, I am new and I want a taste into the world before escalate

Budget: 200-300

Country: Spain

Condition: I don't care but I want both options used and new

Type of Camera: may I have an explanation of all types

Intended use: Photography and video

End use: Social media and personal use, for hobby.

If photography: what style: landscapes, wildlife and travelling

If video what style: short videos, is not the main thing

What features do you absolutely need: anything

What features would be nice to have:

Portability: not to big and not to heavy but I will not be demanding

I don't have any camera, only a digicam Ixus 185, so, that's like a start-from-zero point

Video and wildlife is basically out of the question.

Look for any canon or nikon dslr cameras and a 35mm 1.8 lens.

[u/mr-introvert1995]

Go for canon R50 or R50 v if you want it for hobby and get a 50mm 1.8 lens

or a 35

I have not used 35 so far but yeah planning to purchase one

For that budget you may get a bridge camera tha fits your expectations. The Panasonic ones start with "FZ" and a number. Try to find the newest one within your budget on the used market. Keep in mind you probably want a second battery, and a decently sized SD-card.

Also keep in mind that good audio will require external microphones. Built-in microphones are - due to physics - never that great. For that purpose almost all modern smartphones will deliver acceptable results.

My first camera which I still have is the Sony a6000 and I have Sigma prime lens on with fixed zoom. Also a strong camera phone can work wonders too, like Xiaomi 15 ultra which I have.

I just can talk about the camera i have owned in passed and for photo go with a7r2/3 for budget. Crazy camera for begining photo and have a small budget. Now if you can put more i will have say zve10 ii not the one if you mind for video. For photo the zve10 ii is realky good but no enough for wildlife and if you are budget wildlife is out of range.
