Hello all, I’m an aspiring professional photographer. My dream / goal is to have large prints hanging in galleries one day. I mostly take shots in and around Dallas, Texas. Architecture, natural landscapes, pretty much everything I can think of or notice to keep it interesting and fun. It’s been a bummer that my iPhone Xs isn’t better shooting at night. So mostly stills with a handful of nature videos sprinkled in. It would also be nice to have quality zoom as well.
Initially I was leaning toward a Nikon D5600 or possibly an equivalent Canon. Canon sounds super beginner friendly to say the least. Best Buy has a Sony Alpha a6000 with 16-50 and 55-210 lenses for $649.99. Then an Amazon reviewer steered me toward the Fujifilm X-T30 by claiming the Fuji was a much better alternative than the Sony. Best Buy has an X-T30 with a 18-55 lens for $1299.99. Lastly, I was thinking why not a weather resistant X-T3 but I’m looking at $1200 for the body + $700 for the 18-55 lens?!
I’d love to have this camera for 5-10 years, and to be happy with it. Initially I didn’t want to spend over $750 but with all of the available financing options I’d be willing to spend quite a bit more for the “perfect” camera. Thank you for your help
This group is focused on film photography. Your question is probably better suited for another group more focused on DSLRs. (There is no 'perfect' camera. You can't really go wrong with any of the digital camera brands you listed.)
