I didn't get my first camera until I was about 30, a beautiful Nikon. I/we had 1 or 2 slightly plasticky film cameras for holidays in the 90s, got a Nikon DSLR in 2006. I'd always been serious but tended towards auto mode. After 2006 I learnt about manual camera settings and photo editing.
The best camera is the current camera, the one you use, the most up-to-date tech .... a mid range Panasonic. Not expensive, about £500, a Leica, doing a similar job would cost a couple of thousand. Good lenses are expensive, but I now feel confident enough to buy used. I recently bought a wide angle lens (£750 new) for £200 and did a similar deal on a macro lens.
