For example, one is a newbie in cooking and wants to cook good French dishes, you tell him/her better to start with instant noodles first. OK, once he/she becomes an "expert" in instant noodles, can he/she cook decent French dishes immediately?
I think, to learn taking photos by a "stupid camera" or "prosumer" or DSLR is totally different (but base on the same photographic theories), one can start with any "beginner level" or higher level camera of that particular category.

But I think the problem is the newbie right now doesn't know whether he/she likes instant noodle or French cuisines more.  If you try to learn French food and find out that you don't like it, it may lead you to think that all food is bad.

There's a reason why something is considered better than others.  But this preference does not apply to everyone and as a newbie you might just want the least common multiple.

And this, of course, is just a generalization but if you really don't know nothing better, a generalization might eventually be the best for you since that's the whole point of having such a generalization in the first place.

Talk about whatever meaning "newbie" or "new hand" is, even one has absolutely no knowledge in photography, must he/she go to read some books or study a course first before buying a camera to start? I ...

Since a newbie doesn't know any better, it's out of good intentions to recommend the most economical choice for him/her.  Sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error to find the model(s) you like.  I had bought more than 10 models in the last year before settling on what I want to use on a daily basis.

Some people will NEVER buy used electronics.  It's their preference and in their blood, it's not about right or wrong.

果D人可能當左部機係老婆

每次買舊機等如叫一次雞
一年叫幾次
就唔會再介意
