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.

The only part of this that’s true is that Australia has invasive rabbits.

Maybe this is /why/ Obi Wan is a little hilt happy in ANH.

You and everyone else who’s been ingrained with the demented idea that mankind was ‘designated’ to fight each other for survival can all go fight each other for your survival and leave the rest of us out of it.

You know there are still hunter-gatherer societies. You don’t have to take Palahniuk’s word for it.

Like Elon wouldn’t be Superman’s number one villain.

Seeebox and VPN.

Too unacceptable.

That is not my experience. And you need a PC with the Zune software to manage your media on the player.

I have multiple 120GB Zunes, one being my original and the others I bought for cheap when everyone was dumping them for their phones. They all work fine. You do have to track down the software; I keep the executable on my local file share. I just found my old brown 30GB Zune in storage. It has music from a bunch of local bands from the area I grew up in that are irreplaceable. Unfortunately the software can’t read it because the firmware is out of date, and it can’t be updated without wiping the music off it, which defeats the purpose. There’s a utility called zalternator that allows you to mount the zune as a disk but I haven’t been able to find a copy anywhere. I was going to make a Windows XP VM and install the 1.1 version of the Zune software and see if that works. I digress, they do work still, with a bit of effort. MS could have brought it all back after GotG3 and cashed in, but nope!

It’s funny to me that I couldn’t* even tell which post of mine this was a response to 😅

Yes, we are quite anachronistic in my house.

My daughter wants to play Sims 3 and use her Zune. I’m sure it’s possible to do both with enough work and time spent tracking down old utilities but how much time do I want to spend on that when I could just crank out a VM.

Every day 😢

Truly. Physical keyboards will always reign superior in my opinion.

Yes! I had the Sidekick 2 and 3G, unfortunately that was before I started hoarding my gadgets. They did make an Android Sidekick but it was underpowered and they turned the keyboard into a slider. I would absolutely sell my firstborn for a well done updated Sidekick.

Absolutely hands down my favorite phone I’ve ever owned. And thanks to XDA I was able to keep it running long past its prime. Would absolutely kill for a modern update.

Yes! I have two of those as well, but tried to keep the post simple. It blew my mind how tiny all these once cutting edge phones were in comparison to my Pixel.

Corporate is an amazing and underrated show. Hoping it gets the Detroiters treatment, soon.

“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.
