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.

I just posted a reply to one of your newer posts. https://lemmy.world/post/24406354 for all round with macro, id look at the 18-150mm lens and that could be augmented with the 10-18mm lens if you wanted to go wider for architecture. If you got the 18-45 you might need to upgrade to get better macro, but the 18-45 sounds like a nice budget starter lens for your needs.
