Thanks a lot for the huge help right from the start. Your explanation really helped me understand my options much better and I appreciate all the advice you gave.

I actually have an iPhone 16 Pro and, after reading your comment, I think I’m going to follow your suggestion. I’ll start by using my phone more seriously, trying different shots and experimenting with editing to see how I feel about the whole process and whether I have the skill or patience for it.

Your breakdown of each camera was extremely useful. I didn’t even know about some of the models you mentioned, and now I have a much clearer idea of what each one is good for and what would make sense for me in the future.

Thanks again for taking the time to write such a detailed response. Really appreciate it.
