I want to switch from taking pictures on a smartphone to using a small DSLR, which has brought me into a rabbit hole of photography. So, now I’m seriously considering taking up photography as a hobby and learning all there is to know about taking pictures.
Careful now. First couple hits of photography are cheap. Then you’ll want new lenses, and eventually find yourself becoming semi-pro to feed your new addiction.
I really like my old canon 700D. It wasn’t top of range 10 years ago when it came out, but it’s reliable. Ive kept my spending on it low-ish. Mostly focusing on macro photography. I’ve been thinking about getting a 400mm lens for it but I decided I really ought to do more with less, if I can.
Oh I am right behind you on this journey I think. I love hiking and have found myself taking more and more pictures when I do. The more pictures I take though, the more dissatisfied I am with my smartphone camera.
interesting, I found that for landscapes, my phone was simply so much easier and roughly as good as my DSLR
I brought my DSLR on trips for high shutter speeds, zoom, and low light. taking wide photos during the day? just snap with the phone while the canoe is on your shoulders

Just watched a very funny animated sketch about photography as a hobby and it sums up exactly all my fears about buying a camera.
