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!

If f-stop and ISO are new to you, don't overthink your purchase. I went to school for photography, and I still use the same almost 20 year old Nikon dslr camera. ANY dslr, with almost ANY lens will get you very far while you learn the terms and what they do to affect your photos. Get a used dslr that has a couple lenses and just start shooting. You will be surprised what 300 bucks on the used market will get you. After awhile, when you get the basics down, then you can invest in some quality lenses. The lenses will make more of a difference than the camera will in most cases. Nikon, Canon and Sony are the big 3 brands, anything from them will be a solid choice.
