Hello, I have been attracted to photography since I was a child, but I have never taken it more seriously. Well, I've decided to get a DSLR, but I'm a complete beginner. Friends have told me that the camera is not that important, and the lens is what matters. But that sounds a little strange to me. I stopped at the Canon Eos 1300D because the price is good and I like the camera a lot. But in general I don't know what to look at in a camera to make a conclusion whether it is high quality or not. If anyone can explain to me a little how things are. :) Thanks!

Hello, I have been doing photography unprofessionally for about two years and I can give you some tips, which I understood later 1) The camera is really not that important and the Canon you chose is ok if you like it and it is in the budget 2) In my opinion it is important that the camera is compact and light for you, otherwise it will sit at home, and photography is learned by shooting (a lot of shooting) and you will miss a nice shot 3) It is good for the camera to have a breakable display, it will save you a lot of squats. 4) Set aside some money for accessories that will make your life easier, such as a comfortable strap that will not hurt your neck, a nice tripod, extra batteries, a large memory card, pocket travel to an interesting place for photos ... that is, do not throw the whole budget for a camera to photograph the furniture at home 5) If you have money for an original Lightroom or Photoshop, take them, if there are no free programs (RAW Therapy, GIMP), as well as other ways ... But good processing is extremely important and will teach you what the camera limits are and will help you create your own style. Photoshop is an incredibly powerful program and is a separate topic. You just need to know that there are techniques you can use to compensate for a nasty camera and lens. 6) Nice and large monitor for processing is also useful 7) Do not immediately throw on lenses, click everything and see what type of photography you like and like, only then think about lenses 8) Look for a camera and second hand lenses or from friends Don't bury yourself in the parameters of the camera, for different types of photography you need different parameters, speed: if you are going to shoot sports or birds, quality: if you are going to shoot landscapes on a tripod, etc. When you decide what you like to shoot, you will know what parameters you need. Now take a camera and click. I hope I helped you, nice shooting!
I went your way. If I'm in your place, I'll get a 1100d Canon with a whale lens for 250-350 second hand, a yangnuo 50 mm 1.8 lens. Don't pour a lot of money, you don't know what kind of mind will come to you.
