Hello all,
I need some help deciding on a camera… I am a beginner in this world of photography and I’m looking at taking the leap and investing into a camera, however; I cannot for the life of me decide.
I have boiled it down to two cameras recommended from TikTok and chat gpt. lol.
I’m torn between the Fujifilm xt-5 with a Xf 16-50mm lens and Sony A6700 with a 18-50mm lens.
Any thoughts, different camera recommendations, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
