    1. what camera would be best for landscape photos like this? Have an R10 right now
    2. I’ve recently been getting into photography and I took this picture with my phone (iPhone 11, still saving up for a camera, please recommend a good one but also affordable for a student)
    3. I have hesitated to ask, but would someone be kind enough to recommend a super nice starter camera? I have wanted one for years and have decided to treat myself. I would mostly capture, people and animals and lanscapes/nature. Super nice but not $2k. I will want to hand this one down to my teen.
