Not bad.@Phil V So in a way a camera is like a eye, the DSLR is more like eyes wide open and a phone camera is like squinting and guessing what the rest is like?
I signed up here to learn more about camera and photography and now im learning about the human body @Phil V, the good news is my camera body is down to 2 things compared to a list of about 30, one of which is the Nikon D3200 and the other is a Pentrax K-50 which a family member has one laying around unused which looks decent from what I can see, although the internet seems to be full of Nikon and Canon stuff and these don't seem to get the same attention so im figuring out why.
once that's finalised then its onto the bit im the most nervous about which is lenses as ive now got a small grasp on the language of camera bodies but lenses is like a complete other language to me

And a final question for people way more experienced than me, my choices are out of a Nikon D3200, Canon 500d and also maybe a Canon 50D, which one is the best quality and also ease of learning.
That’s just not true though.Marketing! If you go with the K50 you'll find a huge number of lenses available. Look for any lens that is Pentax K mount.
Any K mount lens will fit and work on a Pentax K mount camera, assuming there's nothing wrong with the lens.That’s just not true though.
They ‘fit’ but that doesn’t mean they’re easy to use or even functional.

The word ‘work’ is doing some heavy lifting there. If you mean you can mount it and take a picture, that’s true, if you mean that all K mount lenses will work as designed on all Pentax cameras, that’s simply a lie.Any K mount lens will fit and work on a Pentax K mount camera, assuming there's nothing wrong with the lens.
Is this supposed to mean something???... like most people, I use my camera daily to take photo's, and rarely get out a proper camera.
Is that supposed to mean anything or are just being annoying?Is this supposed to mean something???
Not once you’ve purposely removed all context.Is this supposed to mean something???
I was asking Phil V. Obviously you have no clue.Is that supposed to mean anything or are just being annoying?
But I was asking you and sadly you seem to be in that position!I was asking Phil V. Obviously you have no clue.
On the slender possibility that your question was serious, @Phil V wrote:Since everything I've posted in this thread has been met with idiotic questions and comments, I am done with it!!
And my Camera body and a single lens for now arrived today courtesy of MPB.
Its a Nikon D7000 and I got a Nikon 18-70mm lens just until I get to grips with what im doing then more lenses will be acquired.
Now I guess its many hours playing and reading the manual figuring out what im even doing.
I have the manual saved as a pdf so whenever I’m on my Mac it’s open ready to read.
Already had a play with it though. And the results where shocking hence reading the manual for figure out what everything is
@ancient_mariner that's really good advice that I will try out later, just figuring out all the focus options too
If you've got big hands you might prefer Nikon's grips.Any reason why Nikon over canon? @ShinySideUp
