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!

Not what you asked, but you'd be surprised how much of great photography is in preparation, composition and a bit of luck. Don't use the camera as a crutch, it probably takes care of only the small percentage of the result. Maybe go for a course, and learn about the settings on your camera. Yould be surprised at what you can achieve well within your budget. Good luck!
