Recently retired with a disability. Got some horrific health news last month. Rather than sit around we are traveling.
Need help purchasing a new camera capable of supporting my love of street and landscape photography.
Criteria: 1. Has to be budget friendly…not lowest and not highest $. 2. Travel friendly meaning light weight and durable 3. Thinking I’d like the camera body then 2 lens…one for street and one to assist with more reach in landscape. 4. Not really into video capabilities. 5. Must have a viewfinder. 6. I have an iPhone 14 pro which works great until it doesn’t in bright light when you can’t see the screen.
I’m used to low end Nikon DSLRs in the 500 series and canon better point and shoot. My skill level is mid level amateur with on going love to learn more. My existing equipment is beat hence the need to buy something newer.
My goal is to document our travels. I love making Blurb books so the photos are for documenting our travels for the grandkids. I do frame some pictures so definitely capturing quality images is a must.
I have major surgery this coming week and I’m hoping your help will get me motivated to heal more quickly. As soon as I’m cleared we are going until the money wears out or I do.
Sorry if I will not be able to respond to your questions. Hopefully I’ve given you enough to help. I love this site and you all are incredibly giving people. Thank you for all the good tips over the years.
Don’t put off that big trip and forget about the $. I want to see the things I have put off for way too long.
