that real bokeh the people who match this criteria should probably take the camera budget you've set aside add it to your smartphone budget and get a better smartphone specifically i recommend the google pixel NUMBER_TOKEN pro or if you're an iphone user and you don't want to switch i recommend either the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN pro or the iphone NUMBER_TOKEN pro i'm an iphone NUMBER_TOKEN pro user if your budget's under a thousand dollars and you're saying i just want better image quality a traditional camera might give that to you but it also comes with all that extra payload you're probably going to overall get better image results by simply buying one of the latest smartphones if you're a person who does not read the manual and does not like technical stuff and doesn't want to be faced with a challenge you should stick with your smartphone if you never make prints bigger than an NUMBER_TOKENxNUMBER_TOKEN if you mostly just publish your images online on instagram you should probably stick with a smartphone most serious photographers with traditional cameras are going to be importing their pictures into a computer you can definitely do this with a smartphone or a tablet but it gets a little bit cumbersome because of the storage limitations now let's move on to traditional camera recommendations i'm going to start with general purpose cameras these are the suvs or the toyota camrys of the automotive world you know i'm not talking about a pickup truck that's specialized for hauling or a sports car that's specialized at going really fast these are cameras that can do everything at different price points and i want to say NUMBER_TOKEN sucks so far so many cameras are out of stock i am limiting my recommendations to things that i could actually find available online for you at this time all the prices from the time i did this last year have gone up significantly so i'm making a lot of used recommendations and i'm going to be recommending my partner keh here quite regularly they don't sponsor this video but they sponsor other videos and we work really closely with them go to this link and use this coupon code to get five percent off their used gear it all comes with a warranty and a return period okay the cheapest camera i can recommend in good conscience is a used nikon dNUMBER_TOKEN it's a great camera that can do just about anything get it with the kit lens but especially the NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN if you can find that i really like that better than the NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN lens you can expect to pay between NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN bucks and it's a great way to get into the hobby of photography a step up from that is the sony aNUMBER_TOKEN at a little under a grand with the kit lens it's a mirrorless camera so it's a little more advanced it has a great auto focus system and people generally love it if you're willing to pay for style and fun like i am i suggest a fujifilm xtNUMBER_TOKEN all the fuji cameras are super fun so if you find like an xtNUMBER_TOKEN or even an xtNUMBER_TOKEN available used go ahead and grab it if it fits your price point fuji has a great selection of lenses in general my favorite camera of all time from them is the xdNUMBER_TOKEN so check that one out at the same price about thirteen hundred dollars i really like the canon rp
