I am sorry if this is an annoying question but do you have a guide or suggestions for picking out a first camera for someone who wants to take pictures of nature, specifically insects and other small things?

Hi! Not annoying at all!

You've got a few routes to this but all will require a macro lens.

In all cases I recommend buying second hand if you're in a country where it's safe to do so (any EU or NA country would be fine, for instance). You can use mpb.com or keh, it's usually less of a hassle than ebay or local marketplaces.

You could get something like a Nikon D7200 with a 105mm 2.8 AF-S G macro or a 60mm 2.8 G Macro. That's the cheaper option without compromising on quality. I recommend the 105 over the 60 because the 105 has stabilisation and for macro photography it is a must have.

A D7500 would be a bit better but frankly At that point I'd rather get a Z50 (or Zfc, see below) because then you'd be in a future proofed camera system (DSLRs — "D" cameras — are not produced anymore only mirrorless cameras of the Z system will come out) but then you'll need to get an FTZ adapter so you can still use the same, older lenses on the Z cameras like shown here:

If money isn't too much of a concern and decide to go for a Nikon Z camera you could get the native lenses (so you don't need an adapter). They'll perform a bit better too. Then it's either the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S lens or the NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 lens. Out of the two, once again, the 105 makes more sense (but is more expensive) because it is stabilized. Z cameras also have ibis so the 50mm would work too but you'd probably need to be closer to the subject you're photographing with this lens.

If you enjoy nice looks in a camera rather than a Z50 you can go for a ZfC. Its retro look is really a selling point but it would probably be harder to find second hand.

All of these recommendations have been of APS-C cameras, which makes sense for macro-photography (smaller sensor with 1:1 lens = subject is bigger on them).

If you've got an even bigger budget though, I would consider a second hand Z7, which is an imaging beast but that would be an other discussion entirely.

Other brands would have similar offers but bang-for-buck wise Nikon makes a lot of sense especially if you plan to grow into the hobby. Canon is unfortunately known for being a heartless cash-grabber. While Sony will work but not have a cheaper DSLR option. Fujifilm APS-C is unfortunately overhyped in my opinion, so Nikon makes more sense for this particular request.

Not that along side the 105 you'll want another lens to be able to do other things. For that either a 35mm 1.8 DX on the D7200 (or with FTZ on a Z camera) or a Z 28mm F2 on a Z camera will do.

Note that none of these are zoom lenses, they're prime fixed focal length lenses (aka prime lenses). They're more qualitative than zooms imho and the limitation of having one fixed field of view actually makes taking pictures more engaging as you have to move around with your feet to get the compositions you want.

ストライカーの覚悟

あんまり、「ああ、忙し、忙し」と忙しさを強調するのも、アレかもしれませんが苦笑、実際、この２週間は、なかなか忙しかったのだった…。ブログ更新はおろか、毎日のように見ていた他の方のブログも見られず。あと、数日でようやく落ち着きそう…。 そんな中、ワクチンの１回目を打ってきた。注射は大嫌いなタイプなので苦笑、事前にいろいろ報道されているので、若干、緊張しつつ向かったものの、拍子抜けするほど痛くなかった。「あれ？いつ打ったの？」くらいの感じ。副反応も「まあ、ちょっとだけ腕が痛いかなあ」と、全く気にならず。2回目を打って一週間経てばかなり効果が出るとのことなので、８月は少しは安心して過ごせるのかな…

Éveil bleu. 🎑 À l’heure où le monde dort encore, où les seuls être vivants croisés sont de magnifiques rencontres comme celle, ce matin là, d’un bouquetin. À l’heure où les premières lueurs orangées de l’aube apparaissent très hautes dans le ciel mais où les couleurs froides et bleutées dominent, ce lac comme décor exceptionnel pour attendre le lever du soleil. 🌄
