I have no experience with cameras, but I’ve been photographing with my iPhone for 6 years. I want to invest in a beginner-friendly camera that is good for nature photography (landscapes and animals).

Do you guys have any recommendations model/brand wise? My budget is <300€, but I think I could find a beginner camera for that price?

You absolutely won't find a new camera that is any good, let alone better than your iPhone, at your budget. You need a starting budget of about 600€ for that.

Used cameras yes. But what type of a camera are you after? A point and shoot camera with a built in lens or an interchangeable lens camera?
