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!

Personally I've got a Panasonic Lumix G9, I had a G85 until I decided to buy the G9.

NGL I kinda miss the G85 as it was smaller and also had a panoramic mode that the G9 doesn't have. It's also lighter than the G9.

Is the G9 a good camera? Yes it really is.

Do I haul it everywhere for all of my adventures? Also yes.

Was it expensive? So much yes.

The G85 does a lot of what the G9 does, can fit the same lenses, is lighter, is smaller, and is a lot cheaper. Yes the G9 has a higher resolution than the G85 but honestly the G85 is quite pleasant to use.

Plus on the Micro 4/3 system the lenses are a lot cheaper than other systems and you can adapt a lot of lenses to it quite easily.
