I’m not confused, and you didn’t suggest either of those in your comment. My point is that you are the cause of the problem in the OP. People already in the hobby suggesting you need x to do photography, when x is significantly more expensive than y which is a more appropriately priced entry with similar features. DSLR bodies are about twice the price of an MFT body with similar specs. I’ve never used a P&S without manual mode either. Just let people enjoy hobbies, not everyone earns a wage that’s enough to drop a couple of thousand just to have fun.
Ah, so not confused - just deliberately argumentative. You do you, I guess. 😂
What do you think this platform is for other than having discussions, which naturally lead to differing opinions. Why are you being a jerk? You said:
> You don’t need a $5000 pro camera to get started, but at leat something better than a simple point and shoot would be preferable to start. Like a decent prosumer DSLR.
I agreed with the first part, a P&S isn’t great. I disagreed with the second point, as a DSLR is already on the high end. There’s a happy medium. You then tried to tell me I was confused? About what? I don’t consider it an entry-level suggestion?
Chill out mate.
