nature like landscapes; any wildlife? you'll need a tele for most wildlife shots

from a car or backpacking, climbing?

then there's budget

Nikon D750 will do a great job and can take the 400 different vintage (used) Nikkor lenses out there from early 1960s-on and Nikon made a lens for every problem; D600/610 is cheaper full frame body but has poor AF in low light

for medium format Mamiya digital seems to get a lot of attn.

for light wt. get Olympia or Panasonic m43 body plus lenses - if the dynamic range of the scene is too great you can stack different images to create a single one - AND you can do it in camera

the Oly Pro lenses are outstanding as are the Leica/Lumix ones from Panasonic - the lenses from one brand will work on the other brand

m43 is a mirrorless design

DSLRs are on the way out and still hang on for edge cases, like pro sports

Nikon has a mirrorless system, Z-system

Canon has its devotees, as does Fuji - you need to try various ones out to see how you like the ergonomics, menu system etc.

any friends with quality digital cameras? ask if you can go with them sometime

the little pocket cameras have been pretty much wiped out by phones, the above are systems/brands that will hold on for years
