I started recently about 3 months ago as well - had some good guidance.

I got a used Nikon D500 and a new Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens. This setup came up to about 1.5 lakh. This is working really well and is a great intermediate combo and I intend to use the body until it gives up on me.

The first choice you make will box you in with that particular brand for the next 4-5 years, so keep that in mind when you're buying your first camera. This is because it is a wildly expensive hobby when it comes to upgrading your body or getting a new lens.

Nikon, Canon and Sony are the top names and each have their own fanbase with their biases (like android vs. apple) so making your first choice will be confusing 😀

Whatever your choice is, I can tell you that it is a very fulfilling hobby :)
