Here’s my suggestion:
I am assuming you don’t have any gear right now and are looking to get into photography.
1. Set your budget: it is very easy to overspend on photography gear (trust me on that one [emoji57])
2. Figure out if you want an advanced point and shoot, or if you want something where you can change lenses
3. Go to a place like London Drugs or the Camera Store, and explain what you’re trying to do and your budget. They will have all the brands/models for you to hold. Go with what works best for your hands (feature wise, all brands have similar features and abilities). It is easy to focus on features, but if the camera is too big/small/heavy/light, you won’t enjoy using it
4. This will give you a good idea of what to “shop for”. Research the best prices and then buy the camera
Good luck
