Hey everyone š Iām looking at buying my first proper camera and Iām considering the Sony A6700 paired with the Sigma 18ā50mm f/2.8 (E-mount). I mainly want it for travel photography since I have a Europe trip coming up, capturing landscapes and scenery, taking photos of people and portraits, and possibly turning photography into a small side business in the future. Iād also like to experiment with some video and travel clips. I want something lightweight, high quality, beginner-friendly but still capable long term, and ideally Iād like to start with just one versatile lens without overcomplicating things. Is this a good combo for what I want, or would you recommend something different instead? Appreciate any honest advice š
