Oh, I see. And do you think you could recommend one cheapest Macro lens that’d do the job well for a beginner?

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.

But you’re not the one who wrote the original message

What’s the hourly wage?

Eh, not that bad

So what’s the way out, you propose?

What’s your primary occupation?

Which country is that? Switzerland?

Haven’t they?

Like, that’s the number one thing for me, I’ve already got a ton of recorded courses which I’m going through (very slowly), so I really want to see if there’s something for me like a course with real people interacting with me either in a group or 1on1 environment, as I’d prefer that way more than studying completely on my own. I’m not against self learning (I’m doing that anyways), but I want to see what a more proper course would do for me.

Unfortunately I’m an expat who lives in the Vietnamese countryside so I need a comprehensive online course with tutors/classes that brings real results and not just some shady bootcamp.
