Hello, newbie to the forum here!
For my birthday this year (coming up in May) I want to treat myself to a camera after years of going without. So I’m looking for camera recommendations.
I’m not new to photography, though it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve picked up a camera. I’m looking to get back into it and need new equipment since I no longer have anything other than my phone and a rugged point-and-shoot that I use on hikes.
I’m mainly interested in dog photography. Indoor and outdoor. I use my phone to capture imagines of my dogs right now and it does fine, but I would like to use an actual camera and maybe start branching into photographing my clients dogs as well (I’m a dog groomaer).
I also like to go to local dog shows/events, horse shows, etc etc and wouldn’t mind wildlife photography either. So I guess I’m looking for something that’s going to be good for action shots, mainly outdoors but indoor capable as well.
Someone on another forum recommended a Sony Cybershot RX10 Mark IV as a good bridge camera to use for that. And I spent years using a Nikon with interchangeable lenses, but I can’t remember the model (again it was 10+ years ago). I don’t necessarily need interchangeable lenses. I’m also not opposed to buying used. So any other recommendations would be great!
My budget would be $1,500 or less.
As an example of what I'm looking to be able to shoot, here's a phone photo of my dogs.
