Some of the 5 yr old Rebels are dirt cheap new and will be more than sufficient for 90% of amateurs.

My Canon 7D has been discontinued for years but still works great.

There are even accessories you can get for your camera phone right? Are there any that upgrades your camera phone

Motorola makes phones that have legit camera attachments.
High end custom stuff can be done to iPhones. but not sure how to get that shite from places like Amazon or Best Buy. Google "Hollywood movies made with iPhone + equipment"

I use the 35mm f2 prime lens on it. It is great. You can save a lot of money by buying the prior gen camera instead of going straight for the newest thing.

Yeah I got the XH-1 over the XT-3, it has the same processor and sensor as the XT-20.

I've read the color is better and images sharper with the X-pro processor over the new processor.

Fuji color repro is incredible.

The Nikon D750 is on the shortlist that I had made before starting this thread. I will for sure spend the time to learn about whichever camera I choose and try to get the most out of it as I can.

As I said before, I have never owned a camera, but photography is something that I think I will be very interested in once I have a camera to play around with. So I am looking to get a camera that I can grow into and not feel like I need to purchase something new after a year.

Another motivator is to save on the "professional" family pictures that my wife will undoubtedly be wanting to take once the little one is here. Hopefully I can get to the point where she feels like we do not need a photographer to come in every few months..

Haha. Ah man. Did you film it yourself, or did you set it up somewhere in the room? My wife is adamant about having a photographer in the room. We have a Hero 7 Black that took great videos on our last vacation that I am trying to talk her into using in-place of hiring a photographer.

I downvoted you only because you and your wife have forced somebody to be on this earth with what’s coming here real soon. Y’all are sadists man.

No I’m kidding congratulations to your growing family. I wish you the best.

Doing my research on mirrorless now! The compactness of a mirrorless compared to the relative bulkiness of a DSLR is a definite plus!

Haha, can you blame your Grandfather? Can you imagine what 2019 looks like to a man that probably was going to grade school under segregation? shite I’m generation x and I’m really questioning the compassion of all the people that choose to procreate. I hope I’m wrong I really do but I think a hard rains a gonna fall soon. I’m sorry I don’t know anything about cameras.

The bodies are weather resistant as well

One thing I’ve seen a few times in this thread is the much wider range of glass for a DSLR than mirrorless. I am assuming this won’t really affect someone like me who isn’t a professional and won’t be buying more than a few lenses?

Sony and Fuji have a lot of mirrorless lenss. Canon and Nikon are just getting into the game. Lens variety is catching up fast.

Panasonic and Olympus have a lot of mirrorless options. Smaller, lighter too.

Their crop sensor cameras have micro 4/3rds sensors which are smaller. Tradeoff off is not as good low light performance. But might check out their lines as well. Unless you're doing nightt street photography, you'll never notice
