Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and relatively new to the world of photography, I am planning to buy my first camera, what should I pay attention to when buying a first camera?
Thanks a lot nikonbill for the tips. I think I would prefer a small camera that I can take with me every day when I go somewhere. Most of all, I like to take pictures of nature, parks, gardens, so far I have photographed all of them with my phone. I will definitely listen to you and go to local stores to see the camera in person and try it out.Welcome to the forum.
First decide how you will use your camera, such as do you see yourself liking to have a small camera at the ready or maybe something more dedicated to "setting up" shots.
What do you like to photograph? (its OK if its everything)
Next go where you can "hold" the camera if possible. Everyone is different on what feels natural on control layout, make sure the controls feel easy to use to you.
these very basic thoughts will start the process
Thanks Fred, I watched the video and it's great

Check out Nikon's Coolpix line and see if something suits you. They are very capable cameras, then you can participate in the forum chalanges.I think I would prefer a small camera that I can take with me every day when I go somewhere.

I have Z50 mirror less and it's small and light, if you wanted a more advanced camera (harder to pack along though).
Best of luck
