What's a good camera for a beginner who wants to do mostly landscape/camping photography?

>>2926441 As big sensor as you can get.
At 1k I would say
D600 or some 645MF film (NOT 66 / 67 BRICKS cuz camping)

$650 for a new Pentax K-70 body and use the rest to get a good lens. It's a crop sensor but 24 pickles plus pixel shift technology which will improve your landscape stills. 5D and D700 are full frame, but they have pretty old sensors by 2016 terms. It's like buying a top of the line computer... from 8-10 years ago. You also need to consider what lenses you are going to possibly be purchasing and what the cost of those will be. Canikon has top tier glass, but for the good stuff you have to pay a top tier price.
>Now of course it's not a totally perfect picture here. What are we giving up--auto-focus and video, those things aren't great here, but keep in mind that if you're the kind of photographer that doesn't really need blazing fast autofocus or video at all, this camera, for under $1000, will bar none give you the best image quality in any ASPC camera. You know we've always been doing these video reviews and they've always been aimed at Pentaxians, but the fact is if you are looking at a Canon or a Nikon or a Pentax SLR, and you want to get the best image quality possible for under a grand, this is it right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkGXnApM9h0 from 13:30 or so

Also consider that if you want to be semi-serious about taking landscape photos, you will probably need to invest in a tripod (anywhere from $100-$400 depending on what you get--and with tripods you generally get what you pay for).

>>2926526 >the kind of photographer that doesn't really need blazing fast autofocus are you so one dimensional as a photographer that you never need good autofocus?
I prefer my cameras to be versatile. after all, I shoot in a variety of situations.

>>2926585 Nice assumptions about me there, buddy. It's not like the camera is completely devoid of an AF system. Mind you he said "blazing fast." That's not a feature people look for in entry level bodies. OP wanted a camera for camping and landscapes. I offered him a suggestion.

>>2926595 I've got no gripes with pentax for a consumer camera system (I solely own and shoot with a K3) but that being said the lens line up is slightly limited, and obviously some specs make people shy away but desu for what op wants I don't think it would be a bad idea, also all the legacy glass is fine for landscape and can be had on the cheap.

Get a Sony a7 body and adapter to use your canon lenses. That should be under $1k
