so guys, basically just getting into photography. I was afraid if i just went 4k, I'll regret it. I heard that investing in lens is more worthwhile. I initially just wanted to get a prosumer, but someone pointed out it's just another step up for DSLR. Anyhow, I'd prefer the best bang for bucks camera, the rest of the money should go for lenses. I've no training in photography, shops that offers them would be a good plus, a camera with a low learning curve and decent functionality would be a home run.

thanks
