Ah yes... specs. I really don't get why people run around spouting specs on cameras. It's like running around spouting specs on a computer. As sun said, the best camera is a camera you use. You're not going to die of eye cancer because you started taking instagram photos on an iphone. A amateur grade SLR isn't going to turn you blind, but the risk is that if you enter that amateur range SLR, you'll quickly desire to upgrade or downgrade. Go big or go home is good advice as long as you will use the camera you purchase.
Do you already use an SLR or mirrorless? Then you know the pains. If not, try borrowing one (any one), maybe a friend with a back up collecting dust, I dunno. Go hiking with it and take beautiful pictures with it and some point and shoot and then go home and compare the photos and evaluate whether the higher picture quality is worth it.
Pictures have a shelf life for me for like 2 weeks before they're buried in whatever back up drive till who knows when.
