I’m totally new to photography and want to get my first camera. I’ll mainly be using it for nature photography while hiking and traveling.

My only focus is on photos of the highest possible quality.

My budget is around $600, and I’ll also need essential accessories, but don't know what I'd need, like a lens?

Not open to refurbished, as I'm buying in Vietnam.

https://www.dpreview.com/buying-guides is a good place to start doing some reading. The reviews and comparisons on the site are also great.

But all their reviews for buying were written in 2021 and 2022...

Aw, that sucks. I haven’t shopped in a while. I didn’t realize their content got stale. I hope they recover.

Looks like their mirrorless guide was updated in November, 2024.
