I will say tho, the Nikon d7500 was my main camera for years and I’d still be rocking that thing if I hadn’t chanced into a bargain upgrade. Slap on a Nikkor 18-200 lens and it was basically the perfect all-around serious hobbyist camera you could still chuck in a shoulder bag.

Oh but also: I love the prompts and that sounds fantastic. Poking around more because I always can use being in community like that. Thanks!!

Side note from someone not otherwise involved with the convo: can you tell me more about these educational communities? 👀

I love going to the local library and just randomly pulling photo books off the shelves to look at. I never know what I’m going to see (aside from Ansel Adams, it’s inescapable) and it’s always interesting.
