>>3452351In my experience, with roughly 25 cameras owned at this point, a camera is a camera is a camera. They're all capable of taking good photos provided you know what you're doing and pair the camera with a decent lens, a good lens being more much important than an expensive camera body. Unless you're a pixel peeper you won't notice a difference in image quality between camera models, especially since Instagram compresses the shit out of every photo uploaded so it all ends up the same 1mb mush in the end.
The important part is ergonomics and ease of use. Because we all have convenient enough cameras on our phones now, a dedicated camera has to be piss easy to use and a joy to hold or it'll just gather dust. You won't want to pick it up or carry it around otherwise.
To me, the best ergonomics on a camera ever belong to the Ricoh GR line and nothing else really compares. Maybe Fuji cameras but they're still not as comfortable to me as a GR.
Anyway, go to a camera shop and see which one feels best in your hands, and see if the menus/dials are intuitive. If the camera feels fun and does what you need, get it. Don't sweat image quality much as even cameras from <2011 still make great images. Just get the one that you're most likely to actually use.
