"D500, hands down. The reach of the D3400 sensor."
"D500 is the ultimate DX body. **Especially** for wildlife and sports."
"If you want to remain on DSLR, I'd undoubtedly go for the D500."
"Nikon D500 will be the best dslr option for you."
"When the d850 falls into your price range, grab it."
"You could get a great price on an older body like d700, d750, d800, or d810."
"A well used D3S would be in your budget and is an absolute beast of a Pro level camera."
"D800 or D810"
"Nikon D800."
"I got a used z50 with the kit lens for less than that."

"A7iv or a7r v."
"A74 comes in under your budget."

"A7iv or the a7cii"

"Depending on your budget, the a7 IV or a7R V are good candidates."

"I’m an M50 geek, but this is the problem the M50/M6/M200 is meant to fix."
"If you want to upgrade your body, the one I'd choose the R7 in your budget range."
"Canon R8."
"R7 in a heartbeat."
"Canon EOS 90D is great."
"You can get a used canon c100 mk ii or a c300 OG for around that price."
"R6 all the way. Best purchase I've made in 10 years."
"The best option is the R5."
"The Canon 650 is a great choice. You can set it to fully automatic, or you can take full control over each or every aspect of the photograph."
"The school I work at bought a bunch of 5D Mark IVs a while ago, I think that's their standard setup."

"It is almost glued to my gx9."
"Right now you can get a G9ii on Adorama, with a free leica 9mm."
"I will crush all what you got and put out g9 with Pana Leica 12-60 plus 100-400."
"For hiking in decent weather, I'd go with the GX80/85 or even better a G100."
"I totally vouch for - on mpb.com."
"A GH5 (or wait for the GH6), or GH5II, or G9, with a couple f2.8 zooms."
"Lumix S5 II. It’s shared technology with SL3/Q3 and shoot ProRes."
"Personally I use GX80, 12-32 OIS as an everyday lens, and 20mm 1.7 for low light."
"Used G9, used Z6, or even just a recent enough DSLR."
"A gh3 is a great camera for shooting 1080, used to be an amazing camera."

"I use the OM-5 with the 12-45f4 pro and 40-150f4 pro combo."
"I'd consider the EM-5 III, paired with the Oly 8-25 f/4 pro and the OM 40-150 f/4 pro."
"It was probably the best decision I've ever made for my photography."
"Olympus M4/3 body."
"I use a Oly E-PL7 for hiking."
"I think the EM5 Mark II might be better if you plan to use a capture clip."
"Personally I went with an em5ii and the olympus 14-150mm ii."
"IMHO, I would look into the Olympus OM 1 Mrk 2."
"I have an EM-1 that would probably work for you."

"The Fuji X-T4 may be a great choice. Great specs, great image quality, 10 bit video, 4k60/1080p240."
"Get an XT3 and bank the rest of your budget for more glass."
"Two months ago I bought an XT-200 and some prime lens just to try it."
"The easiest transition is to the X-T3 since they even use the same battery."
"XT-20 or it's soon to be released successor."

"35/85 is a SOLID combo for wedding days and the one that I use."
"Look at Sigma FP. The 24 megapixel FP is down near 1000 USD these days on eBay."
"You could look at the Sigma FP which really is dedicated more to video than photography."
