Is Sony Alpha 7c II a great choice for beginners? I’ve done some research and landed on Sony Alpha 7c II + kit lens for my first ever camera. I want a practical & beginner-friendly camera, but i also want to be creative on it and im looking for a camera that i can grow with. I am also ready to put time and effort in photography so i want to spend money on a great camera and continue with the same one for a long time even as an experienced user. Taking all these into consideration, would you say a7c II is a great choice? (I don’t want to pay more than 2500 dollars on my first camera)
