there are some cameras that provide vast insight into how to take a good picture these days. exposure, focus, depth of field for instance are all concepts that I've gotten comfortable with due to working with a camera that provides me feedback on those topics. Heck, there are dialogue balloons with many of the setting that explain what it is and how it impacts the picture.
Now, none of these features are on a d800/800e. none. But they are on a d600.
So depending on where the op is as a hobbyist and what camera he's using in his journey mentioned here

IMO, a properly selected good solid camera would make sense and can contribute to learning.
but again, it's not a d800/800e
