>>2656266A used camera is a great way to start, and you dont have to worry much about getting anything broken or "worn out" since cameras pretty much work, or they don't.
If you're looking into making videos, you might be interested in the GH line of cameras. (GH2, GH3 or GH4) as they have great video features, while not being ridiculously expensive or enormous.
That photo is also a bit distracting because of the people in the frame. The eye is drawn to them, because as a person, you want to know what other people are doing, rather than what car they are near. But it's at least a car-centric situation where the car doesn't feel like an afterthought.
Take a look at the photo I've attached (not mine) There's an environment, but it's muted. It's not important. it's just enough to give the car a space to exist in. It also serves to make one feel that the car "owns this shit" or whatever. There is enough detail that you can get the idea of the photo, but not so much that you find yourself looking all around trying to figure out "What building is he parked in front of? Are those people getting in the car? Robbing the owner? Just walking around looking for drugs? etc.
The focus is singular, and everything in the image supports the subject, and it's attitude.
