Looking for advice on a camera for nature photography under $600. (lemm.ee)

I’m totally new to photography and want to get my first camera. I’ll mainly be using it for nature photography while hiking and traveling.

My only focus is on photos of the highest possible quality.

My budget is around $600, and I’ll also need essential accessories, but don't know what I'd need, like a lens?

Not open to refurbished, as I'm buying in Vietnam.

Here's some advice you can take to the bank. Don't fucking talk to me or you'll end up with a fucking R5II wondering what the fuck you did with your life.

That's the wild thing about photography advice on the internet. Someone asks about a hobbyist camera and they get told why they need a Hasselblad.

But were the photos beautiful at least?

I don't know. I have hundreds of thousands of undeveloped photos.
