There has never been a more affordable time to get into photography than now, contrary to the rising prices of nearly everything else in the world. The key is to find a gently used or well loved DSLR that grows more and more affordable as people migrate to mirrorless systems. While there have been small improvements to image sensors over the past decade, image quality hasnโt progressed in the same way that auto focus or image stabilization has. Thus cameras pushing 15+ years old still produce fantastic quality images while lacking modern creature comforts.
The sweet spot in my opinion is the Canon 6D which you'll clearly find out why by watching this video!
