This was my first time with the new camera and taking photos with anything other than a phone. So much fun and challenging at the same time. Seems like there's a mountain of information to learn, but that's what makes it interesting!
Open to any feedback!
Like the title says, found this deal at my local store. I originally was trying to get a x-t30 body but they were sold out with 1-2 months wait times.
I figure I try this lens to learn the camera and find out what prime and/or zoom lens I want from there.
Any thoughts?
Hello! I'm looking to get into photography and learn as much as I can about it. After some research, I have decided on a (used) x-t30. Below are some details on what I'm interested in and how I'd like to use it. Let me know if there is a better camera that would suit what I'm looking to do as well as what lenses you think would be smart to start with.
Use: Traveling and multi-day hikes/treks that include camping. Of course cityscapes but more often will be landscape I also really find astrophotography interesting but thats a lower priority and not the main focus of what I want to do.
I have a trip to mainland Japan soon which is where Im planning on buying the camera (Tokyo). I've lived in Japan for a couple years now so Im not worried about learning the camera while exploring as I've been to Tokyo and the other cities multiple times. Ill have time all summer to practice leading up to a multi-day trek through the japanese nothern alps at the end of summer.
Lenses: This is where I cant keep up with all the differences, numbers, etc. From my basic research, 18-55 is a good starter. Ive also read the XF23F2WR is a good option for the hiking part.
Budget: $1500usd
Any help/advice is welcome. Also, any youtube videos you recommend for beginners. Thank you!!
