I want to buy a new camera that doesn't suck like my old one, what do I get?
Back in 2021 when I was 12 and just starting photography my mom took me to walmart and bought me the Kodak PixPro AZ528. It was my first ever camera and I loved that thing and I didn't know it was completely terrible because this was my first time ever using a "real" camera.
It's 2026 now and I genuinely hate this camera I couldn't find any information about it online, I don't know the manufacturing date, and it's almost completely useless to me now.
Since finals are ending and I can buy a camera of my own, what camera should I buy?
I don't know if I'm new to photography or not since I've been doing work for about a year now and I don't know if it's relevant but I want to photograph people and landscapes/cityside photos.
My budget is ~300-400
(1) Budget, country, and currency:
$300-400, United States, United States Dollar
(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs?
Kodak Pixpro AZ528 and because of how cheap and plasticky it is and that I've been using it for years now
(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot?
People/Landscape/Cityside
(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both?
Photography mainly, but videography is alright. 65% Photography 35% Videography
