Canon EOS 5000 - new lens or get rid of the whole camera?

[freddy_krigel]

Hello fellows. Me as a hot heat not really thinking in advance and being film photography beginner, have bought Canon EOS 5000 film camera with kit 38-76mm lens. As I found out, camera have only shutter priority. I want to shoot landscapes mostly and as I have multiple hobbies, I am not planning on to buying expensive gear and spend too much time doing just photography. I do it mostly for my pleasure when hiking in mountains. But anyway I am looking for decent quality of my photos and was thinking, that I will find a decent lens for this camera and maybe use canon eos 5000 as a starting point in my film shooting venture. So, should I get rid of the camera, or should I invest into better lens and eventually buy a better body.

I am also adding some photos I have taken on iphone 4S (with adjusting in vscocam app) to show you what a "decent quality" is for me.

Thank you.

If you put the camera in landscape mode, it should cope with landscapes very well.
