The bunny and bunny-adjacent collective living in your nearby aerodrome. Pleased to meet you!

We like to take photographs, draw, make music, and whatever else grabs our attention. Ocassionally we develop small things. One day we will make a videogame. Formerly a demoscener but the vibes have changed.

We're most likely known by either Bun²'s Faux Processing and Amazing Facts About Bunnies, or our genderbent Tails art of yore.

Even though bunposting is a priority, this account is +18.

While we'd probably jump straight to a higher-quality used body and just save yourself the trouble (god knows out first "real" camera was a lemon that almost made us quit the hobby) Cazabon has a point.

If you want to go the integrated camera route for a starter camera, you should be able to find Ricoh GRII's, Panasonic DMC-LX10's, and the Canon Powershot G7 X II and III for cheap. (or if you want something compact like the Pana, the Canon SX740-H, but despite it being a great camera on paper it's bloody awful), these models are all from 2016-2019 and should be relatively cheap these days. Some of them are fixed-lens devices, others have your "standard" zoom range (24-75mm-ish) and they all have different performance in different conditions.

Overall, it really depends on what you want to shoot with 'em

(you can tell we have a bias towards small bodies with smaller sensors but we have a bias towards all things small and those cameras tend to be just good for most things while not excelling in any area, which is good enough for us. but yeah.)

Ultimately, read, experiment, and if you can take advantage of return windows, do so. Cameras are nearly as unique as the people wielding them

@miles Depending of your budget our reccomendation is something like an used OM-System OM-5 Mark I (or its slightly older cousin the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IV

They are compact, and more specifically, because the sensor is 4/3 of an inch, it happens to need exactly half the length as full frame to achieve the same FOV/Zoom level. They are ideal as an on-and-about camera with close to 40 years worth of lenses available to you if you are thrifty.

Please remind us to upload some sample photos so you can see if it is something you vibe with.
