I am looking to get into photography, and it seems that every time I research a camera/lens, there’s always someone essentially saying “this lens sucks, buy this more expensive one.” This makes it a little hard to determine what I would actually need being a beginner photographer.

Photographing for work – iPhone or compact camera? Very amateur photographer here. I work for a local politician and often go with her to events in the district to get pics of her for social media.

Olympus “quit the camera business” 4 years ago, still in the market. Can someone explain? I’m a hobbyist artist who wants to pick up their first “real” camera.
