I finally decided to buy a DSLR (due to feedback from my previous thread). After researching, I am leaning toward a Canon 70D (or T5i if the price is right) but the 70D seems to be "better" if I don't have anything yet. I don't need a 5D mark III. I understand the 70D is more user friendly, and that is what I am looking for. I am not looking for another full time job!!
There are lots of options on Letgo, FB marketplace, etc. I also know that the lens is more important than the camera, so what should I be looking for as all of these are packages. I guess everyone says get the 50mm (nifty fifty) for general use. Some have a 70-200mm (telephoto?), 18-35mm, etc. Macro lens or extension tube? I am planning on taking reef pictures, as well as picture of around the house (dogs, cats, flowers).
Do I need filters for the blue light or do you use the camera itself to adjust the white balance?
Finally, do you need to process the photos afterwards? Do you need to photoshop (again, not looking for another job, lol).
