I’m totally new to photography and want to get my first camera. I’ll mainly be using it for nature photography while hiking and traveling.

My only focus is on photos of the highest possible quality.

My budget is around $600, and I’ll also need essential accessories, but don’t know what I’d need, like a lens?

Not open to refurbished, as I’m buying in Vietnam.

    $600 is not nearly enough to build any sort of kit. I’d recommend

    • buying a fixed, zoom lens camera like a M43 panasonic/olympus for a all round use.

    • a small camera like Ricoh or Sony zv1. They don’t have zoom but similar to using a phone and the small size actually means you’ll carry it often.

    By using either of them you’ll learn your own preferences and limitations. Pro tip: buy smaller and lighter gear (cheap isn’t always bad)
