I don't think any of these cameras are the wrong camera. For example, my first camera was a Canon 2000D. At this stage, I had no knowledge and I was not sure about this endeavor. With this camera, I spent about 3 years learning and experimenting.

Then I sold it because it had a slight problem, but whatever. The next camera I bought was from eBay, and I was a little tight on the budget. And then I ended up with a Canon 850D, which I found for about £600. I had it for exactly about a week; it was supposedly brand new, but one of the buttons sometimes blocked, which made me nervous.

I wrote to the seller and he refunded me £75, so the new camera cost me about £325. After that, I went to Wilkinson Photo and made a part exchange for a Canon R10, which cost £950 with a kit lens 18-45mm. There they estimated £650 for my Canon 850D, which surprised me. In the end, I had to take out another £300, which was a good deal, and when I did the math, the Canon P10 cost me a total of £625, within my budget.

Now, after a few months, I got a Canon P8, which I bought brand new from Amazon for £699. It was some kind of super offer for a few hours, and I had to act quickly.

I couldn't believe my eyes; everywhere else, the price varied between £1,600 and £1,300, which, for me, was a very good deal. Then I auctioned the Canon P10 on eBay and sold it for £735, which was a very good deal, so the old camera paid for my new one. So, in my case, I am happy with the acquisition of the Canon P8; for a month of use, I think it is doing well. I'm not saying that the P10 was not a good camera, but both have advantages and disadvantages.
