>>2662953if you're planning on buying one, don't buy a point-n-shoot or a bridge camera. They're essentially smartphone cameras in a different case. Get something with interchangeable lenses and a m4/3 or APS-C sensor. You're looking at $3-400, depending on what you get and whether its new or used.
if you already bought one, go out and use what you have and worry about it later.
