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’d look at something like an e-m10 or e-m5 (whichever version gives you enough money over to get lenses) for lenses a 14-42mm and a 40-150mm would give a really good focal range (there’ll be several different options for both of these lenses so get the ones that have the best reviews in budget)
The reason I recommend these cameras is the size and weight of the body and lens combination will be less than a lot of others. So as you’re going hiking with them it’s something that needs to be thought about.
