  • To be frank, Sync has a lot of polish. When I used reddit I would try another app every few months just to make sure I wasn’t just settling on a familiar experience.

    For me Sync has provided design that’s consistent, the most accessible and legible settings, and it performs oh so well, even on low end devices.

    Sure no one needs Monet support, nor an app that matches the platform its built for, nor do most need an expansive feature set (tablets and foldables support). But, it’s great that lj provides these, I’ve never had anything really break in the app either. In 10 years of use.

    I mildly agree with the comments about using your smartphone camera first, but that also depends if there’s much settings to play with.

    A lot of newer phones do let you dial in shutter speed and ISO, and that’s a great starting point. But if you’re itching to really learn with a camera and get comfortable with dials and settings I would get an old film camera like the Pentax Spotmatic with some M42 lenses ($50-$200) or something digital like a Fuji X-T20/Sony A6000 (about $500).

    I don’t wholly like the idea of using a phone to learn since you’ll reach the limits fairly soon with the lack of settings.

    I learned by carrying my camera everywhere I went, shot for some local organizations to practice and did public events. What another commenter said on studying your favorites is right, start by understanding how to recreate something you like.
