   I think I want a DSLR. Entry level, not too expensive, some decent lenses. Cable that plugs into USB-A (my laptops are too old for USB-C ... upgrading is also on my list). Should be able to pull images from it with Devuan & Ubuntu, as I'm not planning to keep a Windows machine forever.
   
   Time to do some research.

      Most of the DSLR cameras I have seen/used/own use SD cards for storage, a SD/USB adapter works great.
      >Entry level, not too expensive
      You might be shocked at what they cost, ours is old enough that our phones take higher MP images but we still bring it on trips as it is good enough and phones are not that great to hold for taking pictures. If I could find a cover/case for the phone that would let me hold it like a DSLR I would get it.

         This is the DSLR I have, it is about 13 years old.

         >The Nikon D3100 is a 14.2-megapixel DX format DSLR Nikon F-mount camera announced by Nikon on August 19, 2010. It replaced the D3000 as Nikon's entry level DSLR.
         
         I found a review of it from 2010 with a price of $749 which sounds about right but I think we might have gotten it during a sale for about $600.
