>>2638294I'm not OP, but here I have a similar problem. The prices are artificially pumped up so not everyone is able to afford a DSLR. Also there are additional taxes for any creative media that goes into the corrupt government "Art Institute" for the damages caused by non-art institute members and their filthy free creative hobbies.
Hungary is a shithole, thank god for the EU so I could just order my DSLR by mail, but I have to work still on getting the fuck out of here while I can.

Also it is illegal to open carry a camera in your hand here, you get seriously rekt by the police. Even more if you are a foreigner.
>>2638301I did that. I didn't really need FF so I got a top APS-C DSLR of the time. Not going to tell which one, it will generate unrelated rant. (read: not Nikon)
I also invested into education next to my work so I can go out with a paper that tells I learned in a shithol in a corrupt education system. But it will give a bit of advance in starting over.
