As well as ordering the frosted Mixx, I ordered a cheap digital camera for Christmas. I wanted to see if I'd actually use it, and if the quality was better than an iPhone 6 camera.
If it's something I get a lot of use out of - which I will, I then plan to order a decent high end point and shoot or a DSLR.
Anyway, I played with it this morning, Dan's Pumper co-operated nicely

and so did Luna

Hi Ange and the beautiful Luna.
Here's some advice for some point and shoot cameras copied from our resident expert at my estate agency......both point and shoot mirror less and DSLR's...
Let me know and I can send some more info. It's always best to get an interchangeable lens camera IMO and they're still better than phones although some phones have such good cameras that they will do in most circumstances. Depends on the camera though....only certain phones are decent enough.....for real estate read landscape photography.
Hope this helps and let me know if you'd like further info
1- Best choice in your 600€ budget for CAMERA + LENS is :
CANON EOS
800D :

CANON 10-18mm lens :
https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/canon-ef-ef-s-10-18mm-f-4-5-5-6-is-stm-objectif.html
This camera is not only good for stills, it is also a great video camera, the auto focus system from canon called " dual pixel AF " is simply the best in the world at tracking moving subjects, ideal for interviews, low light situations etc. It comes on top of the fact that it has a large APS-C sensor ensuring a nice image quality. It
shoots RAW ( please refer to my previous email on that topic and the great benefit of shooting raw pictures when it comes to process them in lightroom classic CC ).
2-Alternative small size factor mirorless option ( in the same 600€ budget ) :
CANON EOS
M6, great for stills and for video. Tactile screen...

Canon EOS M6 Review
CANON 11-22mm for EOS M series cameras.
https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/canon-ef-m-11-22mm-f-4-5.6-is-stm-objectif-fr.html
excellent stabilized ultra wide angle lens, ultra sonic auto focus, fast, accurate.
Those 2 cameras also accept external microphones if you plan to film people talking, it's a great option.
3- The most affordable combination in a super reduced budget with almost professional results ( if you post process the images in LR CLASSIC CC ) is
-CANON EOS 4000D at 215€ :
https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/canon-eos-4000d-kit-avec-18-55-iii-objectif-reflex-numerique.html
nothing comes close at that price when you know it also comes with a good stabilized kit lens that covers most needs.
-CANON 10-18mm ultra wide angle lens, stabilized, 192€ :
https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/canon-ef-ef-s-10-18mm-f-4-5-5-6-is-stm-objectif.html
simply the best choice for real estate and also the most affordable lens whatever the brands. Total budget here is around 400€ for a great setup.
It lacks some features especially in video and inputs for microphones etc... but at that price point, you still get an insanely good lens + super large sensor that works in low light.
Be aware that eglobalcentral is super long to deliver packages, it took me almost 3 weeks to get my new FUJI from them... it finally arrived but had to almost yell at them on their french facebook page, that's the downside of such low prices.
Canon cameras are built like tank and normally they are almost
undestructible.
Voilà, personnally I would probably go for the mirorless version, light weight, excellent image quality, excellent video and options, you can carry it around everywhere. I won't recommand SONY, NIKON, FUJI.... etc... not because they are not good ( they are excellent) but because the lenses on these brands, especially ultra wide angle lenses, are super expensive, 600, 800, 1500 euros... and even more on some SONY cameras. That's why I still recommand CANON and the most recent models with dual pixel AF are stunning ( the first 2 above ).
Enjoy !
