Ive been thinking I needf a hobby to get me out of the house and active.

I studied Geology and always liked the natural outdoors as a youngster. Alas that was many moons ago.

I've been thinking about taking up landscape photography, but am now confused by mirrorless vs DSLR and cropped vs full lens.

I was looking at either the Sony Mirrorless A6000 or Nikon D3300/Canon 1300D.

Where do I even start, its easy to quickly end up looking at £1,200 full frame cameras.

Is it best to learn how find suitable locations, and how to take a picture on my old point and click before spunking ££££££ and not having a clue how to use it? Let alone finding and framing the perfect location to photo?

Isn't the location, time of day, weather and light more important than camera gear at this stage?

Any advice welcome, as you can see I don't have a clue where to even start.
