Which Camera is Best for Landscape and Travel Photography? (lemm.ee)

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!

This isn't what you're asking, but it is what you need to know right now.

If you're having trouble with what DSLR, F-Stop, and ISO mean; You're putting the cart before the horse. It won't matter what camera you get, because you won't know how to use it. The "right" camera for you at this point, will be the cheapest manually controlled digital camera you can get your hands on. Something used, that has an instruction/user manual for you can learn it's specific controls. Then go online and find tutorials about how cameras work generally, and experiment yourself with your camera. Then if you can't get the kinds of pictures you want, do more research about those specific kinds of pictures. After a while, you'll know what your camera isn't giving you, and be able to find which camera will.
