Would this be the place to ask for a camera recommendation?
Me: Enjoying photography. Uses Pixel 7 pro. The AI-processing-whatever does a nice job, but I want more control and I dislike the limited resolution of my pics. I want to be able to take really high detail photos of still objects from ~1in to ~16in in size, basically product photography for old retro devices.
Is there a camera for around $500 that is "worth" it for my use case? I worry that a camera at that price point will give me the increased control, but won't give me higher res, more detailed pics.
Thank you for any light you can shed. Attached is a reference photo showing current results. I just wish I was able to have higher res images so I can zoom in more and see the texture of things. I also find that focus-stacking on a cell phone is... challenging.
