Best cheap skate camera

[231st Street]

For a newbie photog interest in producing publishable thoughts, any recommendations on cameras for 300 or under that folks are using these days? Did skate photography n the 90s for fun and would like to resume, and not sure where to start from digital perspective. Would be great if worked for video also.

Get an old canon or Nikon dslr body. The crop sensor should be more than enough for publishing photos. The lenses are where the money really adds up, but I’m sure you can find a reasonable priced body online somewhere.

Thanks-- this is really helpful.  To keep it old school went with the fam to a camera wholesale place today and got a used Nikon D7100, Nik SF-S Nikko 24-120 mm. How bad did I do?  No clue on the lense-- just picked from these Nikon VR lenses.  Do I need to get a fisheye as well to do fisheye style shots.  Anyone have any tutorial videos to recommend.
