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!

Disregard the camera body and figure out what lens system you want to invest in. Your next step should be a crop sensor of some kind as the lens systems for those will be much more affordable than full frames, which will be much more affordable than medium formats. Think Micro 4/3 or Fuji X-mount and the like. Personally I'm a Fuji fan, weather resistant body + lenses that are reasonably portable with better low light performance than micro 4/3 due to the slightly larger sensor

And read the book "Understanding exposure"
