I bought in 2022 in Dubai for the equivalent of 20,000. I shoot it now. Many of my friends have older cameras - they have ISO max 1600. With its pros. Full SLR Good informative display Comfortable, relatively light weight Even in auto mode, your photos will be BETTER than any top-end soap dish of recent years (which will cost MORE than this DSLR .). This is noticeable without any special education. Excellent ISO - at 1600 - no problems at all, at 3200 and Hi1 Hi2 noise is already noticeable. Cons: For the price listed, no. Well, yes, it's big. So DSLRs were never small. The "guide" for beginners, in my opinion, does not make sense - I went to the courses anyway.
