Depends on how much of a Hobby you want to make out of it. I got a Canon EOS M200 because I saw my friends struggling with "full featured" cameras. Guess who is everyone else's photographer all of a sudden… Its a stupid cheap camera compared to what everyone else says to get. mine was $600 with a full "kit" including extra lenses. I did get the 22mm lens for closeup portraits, only because I could. the stock lens is fantastic. The lenses wont upgrade to a new camera with you if you opt to get a better camera later however, keep that in mind before going ape shit on lenses if you get this camera.

That camera definitely does a better job than my 5 year old smartphone! I do have an old mirrorless camera that I might try if I can find it.
