Wanna get REAL with Photography? & 5 reasons why

Starting photography is as complicated as it looks! For more, is the very expensive gear! But can you hold on your old Smartphone for another year? The price of a new one is now the price of a reasonable and good entry level camera! Over time you can upgrade parts of it as your creativity grows.
The note about Sensor size
I have made some photography starting Cameras, they are Amazon affiliate links, and a budget of around 500 euros or dollars. 500 because is the price of a reasonable smartphone, and if you have been saving 800 to 1000 bucks you can divide that in 2, and get a real camera and a reasonable smartphone.
