I'm just starting to learn photography, in fact I've been using my cell phone to take photos, recently I want to get a professional video camera, do you have any recommendations?

When buying your first camera, start by identifying what you’ll mostly use it for photos, video, or both. Look for beginner-friendly models like the Canon EOS Rebel series or Sony ZV-E10, which offer solid video quality and manual controls. Make sure the camera supports interchangeable lenses, so you can grow with it as you improve. Consider ease of use, battery life, and whether it has features like a flip screen or external mic input for video. Finally, stay within your budget and check reviews to ensure it suits your specific needs as a beginner.
