Hi guys.
I'm planning to get a proper camera since I'm starting to do a fair bit of travelling, and wish to document (95% pictures, 5% videos, ideally) as much of it as possible. I've been doing some intensive reading and searching these past few hours, and have a couple questions.
I'm basically searching for a mirrorless camera. An acquaintance recently told me that for my first camera, it's more worthwhile to get a used/secondhand one.
To that end, I've identified the Olympus OMD E-M5 II as a good-valued candidate. Any thoughts on that (or maybe a better valued alternative?)
Also, I was also told that cameras that use Micro 4/3s are more worthwhile to buy since they have relatively cheaper lenses. However, I found that most sites suggest a Canon M50 as a good starter mirrorless camera. That uses an APS-C lens instead (and I've read that Canon is abit an@l and switch the lens type, so not all APS-C lens are compatible (unlike M4/3s) on their cameras. Is there any truth to this?
Also, I wonder if lens prices are something to consider, since I don't see myself buying loads of lenses.
I'm trying to soak in as much information as I can before I make my purchase, some time in August.
Thanks a lot.
