Hi there…I recently started a pixelfed.social account and got a little excited about photography…I don’t have alot of money and sometimes I get excited about new hobbies, and then they fade. I am looking for advice on buying a “sorta” decent digital camera, but not something that will break my bank if I ultimately lose interest. I guess, I’m looking for “starter gear” suggestions. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Was gonna suggest the same. Even the early Sony NEX (eg nex5) are still pretty capable cameras to get started with.
In addition, cameras with lens mounts close to the focal plane (sensor), such as E mount, allow you to buy cheap adapters for old manual-focus SLR lenses - so you can use whatever interesting old low-f-stop lenses turn up in your local thrift store etc.
I have a CY adapter for this very reason, last month I picked up a 50mm/1.4f Yashica lens for under €50
