Is the Sony Alpha 6400 worth it without experience?
Hey friends, I've been thinking about getting the Sony Alpha 6400 for a while now, but I have absolutely no experience with cameras when it comes to ISO values and manual mode, so to speak, because I don't want to take photos in automatic mode because I know the camera can get more out of itself and I wanted to ask if it's still worth getting a camera without having this previous experience because I don't want to spend unnecessary money and then have no idea what I'm doing.

Everyone starts somewhere whether this is now with manual settings on the phone or with a camera is absolutely no matter (the age of the camera more or less also). The main thing is that you’re ready to kneel into the basics a little, because a camera is not as self-explaining as a phone. Understanding the camera modes and the exposure triangle would be such basics.
If you just want to press on a button without thinking much or editing anything on the photos, you’re better off with a phone.
without a photographic basic knowledge, buying a relatively expensive system camera is like buying a ferrari only for it.
only if you are willing to work out slowly and step by step through the operating instructions and make dozens or hundreds of (free) test photos, you can learn what this or that means to settings, ISO, exposure time, focal length, etc.
ISO is the “measuring” of the photosensitivity of an electronic photochip, which, with too high values, produces more and more image noise on a dark background. On the other hand, this makes it possible to make quite neat photos today without flash in a light-poor environment.
not for nothing, photographer is a “real” training profession, even if one photographs good and not just correctly exposed images as an enthusiastic amateur with your own means and a lot of time at some point.
Thanks for the quick answer and the good tips I wish you a nice evening
This makes the camera completely independent in the automatic mode.
And as the recording of images costs nothing, you can play around enough and gain experiences.
So look at what the auitomatics suggests, and then consciously individual parameters vary.
