Thanks. After checking, I don’t think it’s much of a difference in price across regions/countries, as it seems to be still about 600-650usd for the body with the basic kit lens in most shops.

Thanks! Unfortunately, eBay has issues shipping to Vietnam and I’d rather not risk it. I wish I could find a reputable seller of used cameras here but I can’t.

Hm, I guess it’s just popular here and more reasonably priced. Any specific lens recommendations or would the one that goes with it be perfect for the first year or so? While I’ll be learning

Thanks so much! Appreciate your valuable advice. 😊

What about Canon EOS R50? Is it better than Sony in your view? And would 28 to 75 be the best beginner choice for it as well?

Would Canon EOS R50 be a better option than the ones you’ve mentioned? And would you recommend a specific lens for that, too?

I’ll probably be going with a Canon EOS R50, but how to choose a lens?

Would a Canon EOS R50 be better than the ones you’ve mentioned? I’m especially interested in closeup macro photography

Could you please recommend a specific model and specific lens? I’m totally clueless.

Perhaps Canon EOS R50? Or Canon EOS Rebel T7/2000D? But what lens?

Thanks for the detailed answer. I’d like to take pictures of mostly still life, nothing moving too fast or anything like that. Could you recommend a specific camera you think would be best? I feel like taking pictures with my phone isn’t worthwhile enough as I love to study the details of each photo after I take and the phone’s quality doesn’t allow for that much.

What’s your primary occupation?
