With my experience in picture taking and cameras,I have been doing it since I was in my early teens and started with the cheapest camera,I worked my way up to a $200. camera while all the time wishing I could get a better one,I now have a $1000. camera Nikon D5300,it’s definitely not the best you can buy but for my budget it is,as time goes on you realize that the better one is the one you should have gotten in the first place instead of wasting money on the one you really didn’t want.So I say get the one you want if you can afford it!
