  • Fact is photography is an expensive hobby and depending on your definition of quality and the type of photography you’re into $600 could be plenty or it could be nothing. Here’s some options, though.

    Canon EOS M50 Mark ll: A mirrorless camera with a 24.1 MP APS-C sensor. Iť’s small, portable, and comes with a kit lens to get you started. As you go you will discover what your needs are from a lens and you can upgrade accordingly.

    Sony Alpha a6000: Another mirrorless option with a 24.3 MP APS-C sensor. Compact, good image quality, and fast autofocus. Again the kit lens should be enough to get you started.

    Panasonic Lumix FZ300: This one is fixed lens, but you get quite a range out of that one lens. It’s also weather-sealed, which is handy for outdoor use.

    Buying refurbished or from a reseller like B&H or even eBay, if possible, could really help you get the most out of your budget and reach a little higher than what I’ve suggested.

    You don’t need much to start, an SD card, preferably 64GB or higher. Maybe a waterproof camera bag for hiking, but it’s not essential and many new cameras will come with a bag. You may eventually want a nice tripod, and backup batteries for longer trips.






  • “I’m disabled!” Is a classic reference in my house that cannot be used in pleasant / uncultured company. It’s great to see my people are out there!

    I’m not the biggest Seth MacFarlane fan, but the American Dad episode “Joint Custody” is pure classic.

    I really want to pick an episode of Community, but I’m having a hard time nailing down just one. There’s the obvious answers like Remedial Chaos Theory or Modern Warfare. I just love the whole series. Maybe Basic Intergluteal Numismatics, The Asscrack Bandit episode, just because it’s so layered it really lends itself to rewatches.

    Master of None has its issues, but there’s some standouts in the first season. Parents and Mornings always get me.
