I just got this Canon R50 for my birthday because I wanted to take better pictures of my dog and my hiking trips in Washington, but I'm honestly so lost. It came with this tiny lens that zooms a little bit but everything I take inside looks kind of grainy and dark and just not like the professional stuff I see online. I was looking for a new one on Amazon but everything is like 800 bucks or more which is way over what I can spend right now since I only have about $250 left in my savings after buying the bag and stuff.

I saw some things called prime lenses that dont zoom and people say they are better for blurry backgrounds? But then I saw some that say RF and some that say RF-S and I have no idea if they both fit on my camera or if I need a special adapter plug thing for them. My logic was that a bigger lens means better pictures but maybe thats not true? I just want something that makes my dog look sharp and has that nice fuzzy background without spending a fortune. Is there like a cheap starter lens that everyone uses for this camera? I'm scared of buying the wrong thing and it not even clicking onto the front...
