HI everyone
so just retired , have a compact cannon but now have the time and some funds to do more with my interest of photography
My photo editing history is playing about with the generic editing tools on the computer
have signed up for a college photography course so want to get my camera and be familiar with the basics before the course starts
what I want it for
Initially taking for walks with me and snapping as I go , time will tell if I will be drawn to any specific photos ie macro, street ect
money , have up to £3k for camera and initial len/s. Thinking getting midrange camera and a good lens and building on lens as I go
so have been looking at FF v APSc - head mince after that but I think maybe APSc
stabilisation in the camera is another thing that seems to be good for beginners to have
might take an odd home video on it but that would be all re video function
am drawn to
sony A6700 and can get that with the 18-135 mm f 3.5 - 5.6 OSS lens as a kit, this comes to £1799 . Not sure just to buy the camera body and lens separate, if so what lens would be best
would welcome any ones thoughts on this camera and lens and any alternatives I should put on the table
from what I can gather the choice of lens are better with sony thats why I have went down that route
cheers
