Yeah I still have a G7 mk1 and occasionally actually use it when I don’t want to bring a DSLR. I’m not sure where I could tell you it’s the absolute best choice in the quality/convenience/price/use case matrix but if you want something flexible, pretty high quality, and jacket pocketable it’ll definitely do the job and gives (imo) a pretty good user experience. I particularly like the dedicated exposure compensation dial , not sure if the mk2 has it but I use it a lot.

I forget what it's called but BorrowLenses has a sales company for their used gear.

Cat Wings posted:I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but the other "newbie" threads all seemed to be dead and archived. I'm looking at getting a camera, either DSLR or mirrorless, mostly for doing some street and nature photography, but once I have some more experience I want to try doing some macro and astrophotography as well. You may want to think in more detail about what you're after in the nature photography realm. If it's wildlife and especially birds, it's almost worth starting with the lens you want and then working backwards to the best body you can afford. Bird photographers are usually carrying around 400-600mm lenses. For bodies, these aren't full frame, but you might think about something like a used canon 90D or 7Dmk2 since the smaller aps-c sensor allows for some additional reach for the rear end in a top hat birds who are never as close as you want them to be. These may have better autofocus than the 5Dmk2 as well.. If nature more means landscape or macro, then there's less reason to choose a crop sensor camera and whatever 5D or 6D full frame model you might look at will be fantastic. Eventually you may want mirrorless (many of which do have viewfinders) but I'm not sure what to recommend for under $1k.
