Which Camera is Best for Landscape and Travel Photography? (lemm.ee)

I started out with my phone camera (a cheap Samsung J7), and then a cheap compact digital camera that had better flash (a Minolta MND20) etc. I've really liked going through my photos, but after a trip to Copenhagen I realized my current set up simply does not suffice for some places (Copenhagen ROCKED).

But after days of googling and searching, I am nowhere nearer to finding THE RIGHT camera. There's so much jargon (DSLR? F-Stop? ISO?) and so many cameras and I haven't even gotten into the lenses yet. I need the help of a master haha. Everyone seems to like the Sony Alpha, or the Nikon D75000... but they're so expensive.

What has worked best for you? What are you a fan of or would recommend? Thanks so much!

There isn't really a universally correct answer here. You need to figure out a budget and what lens focal lengths will work for you. Then maybe people can start making recommendations for you.

Camera bodies will come and go, but you'll want to invest in lenses.

I would add size as a subjective factor as well. Because one can have the greatest camera with all the lenses in the world, but it means nothing, if one doesn't carry it around due to being too bulky.

OP might want to decide if the camera should fit into a jacket pocket like what he used so far or not.
