Commented about this in another thread but figured I would ask for help here as well.
I go camping a lot, and also hiking and just love being out of the city in general. Been taking more and more pictures on these trips with my iPhone X. Quality is good but there are times I would love to have more control and being able to adjust the camera before taking the picture.
now, I started looking into DSLR cameras and I was honestly overwhelmed. I consider myself a "techie" guy and don't usually have a hard time when it comes to researching and purchasing electronics, but good lord the sheer amount of options really confused me when I was browsing cameras online. So I said to myself maybe I just buy the new iPhone 11 pro which is supposed to have an incredible camera and be done with it. But then I thought that I would run into the same problem eventually and want a full fledged camera.
How does one decide which camera to buy? My budget is $500 currently, as I'm a complete beginner. But please let me know if I should up my budget by $100 if it's worth the bump since it'll be a huge upgrade.
as I mention; I am mainly going to be using it for nature photography.
