I am thinking of buying myself a DSLR camera as I have more time to learn how to use one and more importantly to spend more time creating better photographs. I am currently using a Panasonic Lumix TZ60. I don't want anything too complicated as me and technology don't gel!! I don't want anything too heavy. It will be my first DSLR so I want to try and get it right first time as it is a big chunk of money for me to part with. It doesn't need to be a new camera as I have been told that you can get an older model just as good for less money. My budget is up to £500 but would prefer to spend less and have some left over for accessories!! Trusty advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, they should tell that to the numerous countries using it as one of their primary treatments for Covid-19. From what I read the dosage and when the treatment is started determines if it is effective or not. Start too late or use too low a dose and it has little or no effect. But a lot of meds are like that, too little too late-no effect. And with many meds too much and the med itself can kill the patient. One asthma rescue inhaler I have used is like that, use it too much and it causes an attack.
