Looking for advice on a camera for nature photography under $600. (lemm.ee)

I’m totally new to photography and want to get my first camera. I’ll mainly be using it for nature photography while hiking and traveling.

My only focus is on photos of the highest possible quality.

My budget is around $600, and I’ll also need essential accessories, but don't know what I'd need, like a lens?

Not open to refurbished, as I'm buying in Vietnam.

I'd be wary of his used equipment advice unless you can get a professional to sign off on it. Used cameras often have major issues, or dust on the sensors, or scratched lenses, or other bullshit that'll cause you a lot of headaches.
