Greetings!

I got interested in photography years ago after someone gave me an old camera. And I fell in love with memorializing the beauty around us. Now I am trying to get my husband involved. He doesn't have a camera and I am at a loss as to what to recommend for him. As a beginner, I would think a basic camera would do. (See, I don't even know what questions to ask! lol)

We would be doing landscapes, wildlife, etc.; no portraits.

What I know about camera types you could write on your nose with a crayon. So my "definitions" of what I like and want are going to be very basic.

1. long-range shots
2. wildlife
3. moving objects (lots of Ocean shots)
4. color
4. lightweight
5. one that can have additional functions added without a lot of extra expense

I am looking for a photography class at the local college, but at this point in time, haven't found one. I realize we should both take a class so I can use words that are actually technical definitions! I just like to point my camera and take the danged picture. That's all I know.

Any help/suggestions will be welcome. I know I'm way out of my league here!

Whatever Camera you choose, consider a Used or better yet, a Refurbished camera. As a beginner myself I bought a "Used" Nikon D3300 DSLR camera,(Important-Read Reviews.) on whatever camera you may Choose. Ask a UHH Member about any model, they may be able to guide you in making a decision. Hope you will find a camera to fit your needs and interests.

Sony RX10 IV ......very simple. - But, a sizeable (rock-solid) investment I know !

In the Canon world, T6i, 18-135 - then 70-300 IS II nano.
