So I'll be moving to Florida within a month or two, and plan on taking a lot of photos when I get there as a complete novice, along with attending a photography course.

I have $1,200.00 give or take, to drop on (a camera) and any extras that might be needed.

So the question is:
>Knowing what you know now, about photography and everything you've learned over time, if you were just getting into photography, what would you get camera and equipment wise, and what might you do or get that you didn't when you were first starting out

Thanks /p/
