I started out with my phone camera (a cheap Samsung J7), and then a cheap compact digital camera that had better flash (a Minolta MND20) etc. I've really liked going through my photos, but after a trip to Copenhagen I realized my current set up simply does not suffice for some places (Copenhagen ROCKED).

But after days of googling and searching, I am nowhere nearer to finding THE RIGHT camera. There's so much jargon (DSLR? F-Stop? ISO?) and so many cameras and I haven't even gotten into the lenses yet. I need the help of a master haha. Everyone seems to like the Sony Alpha, or the Nikon D75000... but they're so expensive.

What has worked best for you? What are you a fan of or would recommend? Thanks so much!

Amateur photographer here. I have a lot of advice on this topic, but I'll start with the gear isn't worth shit until you feel limited by it and its capabilities. The problem with gear is that there is a mountain of pressure to focus on buying so much if it. This is by design. All the social medias tend toward this.

I can expand on specific recommendations later when I'm at a computer
