Photography

Looking for recommendations for a beginner photography camera body & lens.

Looking to take a wide range of pics - but mostly outdoors/landscape/urban/etc. to start.

Ideally like… $500 for a decent setup?

I’d probably buy a second hand 60D with a second hand 28mm prime in that case.

definitely digital. film is cool but i don't want to be needlessly restrictive at least at this point

Film or digital ?

I have many lenses/bodies but always shoot with a 5D full frame and a 40mm lense. It’s very versatile and limiting options in terms of lenses allows you to get comfortable with a fixed setup fast. You can do the same with a 28mm wide angle and a crop lense on a cheaper body. Definitely go 2nd hand.

18-55 is really cheap and widely available and I do use it with the exact camera (I have a lot of lenses though). So it’s possible for 500 as a pair, but you will inevitably spend more on lenses. 35 1.8 prime also pairs well. If you are ready for bulkier all arounds Tamron 18-400 also gives great results ☺️

Used Nikon d500 is just great overall as f mount lenses got really cheap with the z taking over ☺️ It’s not necessarily beginner per se and is still used by professionals for wildlife, but you did say “lenses” 😅
