Looking for advice, please help

Hi guys,

I have a Sony Alpha 6000 24.3 megapixels camera which is very old. I bought it years ago. I think I need a new camera.
I'm a beginner, so I don't need something too advanced and too expensive.
My budget is around 1000$.
The companies I like are Fujifilm, Sony, Nikon.
What camera would be good for me in your opinion?

Thank you

Well if you want to take good phots, camera with 24mm - 105mm zoom lens is good.

Then buy a good basic photo book, how to take photos.

Made my living 30 as freelance news photographer.

When Canon came out with EOS System I move from Nikon.


Today you have digital photography, you can take great photo with phones.

Camera is only as good at person pushing exposure button.

Have you thought about whether you want a system camera or a fixed lens? If your primary concern is macro, you won’t find the capability that a dedicated lens provides with a fixed lens, but most have a macro mode. I think you can probably get a system with one zoom and a macro within $1k, I may not be the best to advise on specifics though.

If you want to do macro, you may want to consider just getting a decent macro lens for that a6000, it is still a good camera. Is there anything about the a6000 body that is getting in your way?

Not really. It is a good camera all in all.
