A good camera is expensive.
I have a cheapo $100 Canon point & shoot. Works great, love it, fits in my pocket.
But those stunning astonishing photos: birds in a marsh or soaring. Close up of a flower. People so focused you can see the buttons, the freckles, the hair.
Those crisp far and near photos, those come from expensive cameras. I looked at some gorgeous photos online, then researched the cameras associated with those photos. Those cameras start at $1500, and that's just the body. Lenses are another $1000-2000. Oh.
What if you drop it?
In a pond. Or the ocean.
Or a toddler throws it, or you sit on it?
