So like the title says I am interested in photography but know next to nothing about it. My question is what’s a good camera for someone like me preferably under $800? Thanks in advance for the help.

Lots of good advice here already about phone vs camera etc. On that note I’d say, whatever will inspire you to take more pictures. If there’s something just cool to you about having an old film camera with manual focus, for example, go for that. The other sometimes overlooked side is post processing. To me, what you do to the photo on your computer is at least half of what makes a good photo. This can be Photoshop (if you have a license thru your work/school, otherwise it gets expensive), Lightroom (ditto), Affinity Photo (which I use), or free options like RawTherapee, gimp, etc. If you enjoy tweaking photos, this can be a deeeeep rabbit hole! It’s amazing what you can do with a few skills. Anyway… just wanted to plug that other aspect of photography since I love it so much. Good luck!
Yes, I am very interested in post-processing work as I have some experience in it (took some classes in High School), but that was over a decade ago at this point, and we were just practicing with pics off of the internet. Thanks for the advice.
