I’m totally new to photography and want to get my first camera. I’ll mainly be using it for nature photography while hiking and traveling.
My only focus is on photos of the highest possible quality.
My budget is around $600, and I’ll also need essential accessories, but don’t know what I’d need, like a lens?
Not open to refurbished, as I’m buying in Vietnam.
Start out using your phone. Get enough experience taking pictures that you have a better sense of what you might want in a camera that your phone doesn’t already do. Take at least a few hundred careful, thoughtful shots that way to see what it is that you can and can’t do with the phone. Then come back and discuss your findings in detail and we can make more suggestions.
