>>4487651Whatever you do, don't buy this. You will be disappointed. This is just some aliexpress/temu thing with a Minolta logo. But you have a couple of options for starting out that are around the same price.
>Used compact digicamSimilar to what you posted but better image quality, better lens, better build, better controls, and it will probably look better too. What you wanna look for is anything cheap with a brand name really. Canon IXUS or powershot, Nikon coolpix, Sony cybershot, whatever. It doesn't really matter. For the most part they take the same sort of pictures. They won't be "technically better" image quality than your phone but you might like the look of them more since they have real lenses and a marginally larger sensor. You can use
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_camera_manufacturer to preview images taken by any camera you find for sale so you can get an idea of what the image is like. This is useful as in the 2000s they made a million billion different models of digicam and not all of them have reviews with sample images.
>Cheap second-hand DSLRIMO the better option, this will have manual controls and a much larger (APS-C) sized sensor, a much better lens and will be something you can learn the basics of professional photography on, like the exposure triangle. This will have way better image quality than your phone. Youtube and your cameras manual are a great help here. You can sometimes find a good deal on old entry level models from Canon or Nikon on places like facebook marketplace or craigslist for around what you would spend on that minolta.
