There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

I am extremely new to photography only having owned a couple of decent digital cameras and I was looking to upgrade to either a DSLR or Mirrorless camera.
My goal would be to keep the initial cost of the system with the 800 dollar range. I have looked at the lower level versions of DSLRs like the Nikon 3400 but fear they may not be able to process the image quality I would like. I do like that the mirrorless is smaller but I am a big fan of the optical view finder offered by DSLRs.
The only reason I ask about image processing is that I would be doing some sports photography because I have access to some neat places with my old career in sports marketing. I would not need a pro level camera but a set up where I could capture some on the field action as a hobby.
I would love any suggestions of where to start my hunt for a camera (Make, Model, New/Used, places to purchase).
Best,
Rob
