Hey /p/. I'll make this short and sweet - I've recently been feeling more and more confident about photography and I think it would be nice to buy myself an actual camera as opposed to using my shitty phone camera. So I ask you, what should I be looking for in my first camera? Recommendations are very appreciated.

Hasselblad H6D-100C.

Has everything you'll probably need to do apart from sports photography. For sports you'll want to shoot only with an RX1R II.

A budget and what you like to shoot would be nice. Do you want interchangeable lenses? Is size important to you?

I'd say anywhere under $800 would be good. I will probably be doing nature shots, generally. For right now, interchangeable lenses aren't a priority as of right now and size doesn't matter.

I'm not that well known in this section but for my school I've done some photography projects and I was using the 'Canon 700D' also lots of instagram photographers etc. use this camera.

I would probably recommend the Sony a600 and two prime lenses, Sony's 16mm 2.8 pancake lens which can literally fit in a coat pocket with the body. The other lens I would recommend would be Sigma's 30mm 2.8. This whole kit would be around $900 which is a little over budget, but will last a lot longer than a point and shoot due to the ability to upgrade lenses.

>>2978065
What do you mean by nature shots? Do you mean landscapes or photos of wildlife?

>>2978114
Absolutely terrible recommendation if OP wants to take wildlife shots.
