Hey guys,
I'm a beginner in photography but I'm looking for a good camera to start wth. I want to develop my skills with that camera and don't want to buy a new one after some time because it's too "simple", if that makes sense.
Could you recommend some good ones?
Thanks

Hey fag, there is a gear thread for your stupid questions

All cameras only have 3 settings, iso, aperture and shutter speed, everything else is a gimmick.
Get a mirrorless sony, the evf will help you learn the basics exponentially faster compared to a traditional dslr and they have upgrade paths for every budget. Go 2nd hand to save money, sensor technology has barely budged in the last 5 years. I'd recommend the nex 6,nex 7, a6X00, a7, a7ii, a7r, a7rii. Also, big dslrs make you look like a likely contender for autistic screeching.

As much as those are nice cameras, Sony is the last of all i'd recommend for a beginner.

Anything but a D5 is not worth your time. You should be picking this up with a 70-200 2.8, 24-70 2.8 and 12-24 2.8. If you're not shooting with pro gear, you should kill yourself.
What's your budget? Get an older full-frame camera, get over the hump, and you'll likely have a solid beast in your hands. Nikon D300 can be had for cheap, same with Canon 5D/1Ds

A6000 is a reasonable start, though I guess ideally you'd buy a high-end Canon/Nikon/Sony FF camera.
The issue is just money. Not your skill.
Buy the Zeiss ikon Nettar 518/2, i think its the best camera youll find anywhere

Get the Arri Alexa SXT

Nikon D5100

Nikon D7100
If you don't give a fuck about features and digging through menus. The D3300 is fine for a beginner. If you need more, you'll outgrow it pretty soon so look at the D7200.
Buy a better camera because you want a better camera, don't buy it because you have a vague idea you'll save money in the long run. Statistically you won't just like the guys who buy a mid-high end guitar instead of beginner one and leaves it rusting in his closet after a month.

I wouldn't buy a D7xxx unless I'm planing on buying old AF lenses.
