I've decided to get back into photography. I had started getting into it back in the early 2000s, but when I got the diagnosis of having macular degeneration told I would be blind in a couple of years, I went and sold all of my photo equipment...camera, lenses, filters, flash, etc. Since then I have continued to have my eyesight, so I eventually bought a small, older Nikon D60 that fit my needs...but I've felt the urge to get back into the hobby, and also, I am still interested in starting a YouTube channel, so being able to do video with the camera is also a consideration. The D60 is only a still camera. It *is* a classic, despite being release 12 years ago, it still sells well, and I expect that I should get back what I paid for it when I bought it about 6 years ago.

Today, I bit the bullet, and ordered a new camera. It's a Nikon Z50 mirrorless camera. It not only does regular photography, but it will record video in 4K, and outputs clean HDMI out it's HDMI port, so you can use it with an external recorder, or as a super-webcam. It's a package that comes with the kit lens, and a 50-250mm lens. I've been wanting to start a Youtube channel, and this camera will give the the quality I need for that.
