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.
I’m almost ready to jump the fence and get Canon EOS R50 with its kit lens. Any thoughts on that?
I would do two things before committing, plan what lenses id want to add on to the ones you buy initially.
id also have a look at the manual, and lightly browse it front to back to see that everything kinda made sense. You dont have to read everything in fine detail, but downloading the manual should be free and it could help you realise any more important questions before the sale.
I wouldnt worry too much about shooting RAW and using manual mode first. Powering it up and using auto and maybe scene mode (sports, landscape, night shot?, macro?) should get you up and running fast.
I’m in need of a good regular lens for all-round purposes that would take me a long way, and a decent macro lens. What would you recommend, the cheapest options? (only new, I can’t find used where I live)
