Nikon

4.2
(163)
"I picked up a D200 for $100. Amazing camera even better for the price."
·
"The Nikon D500 is probably the best DSLR where you get speed and reach because of the crop sensor."
·
"Good video and DSLR? Nikon D780."
·
"Forget about these and look at least for D810. D810 has much better colors in low loght and much better AF."
·
"I would pick the D800. The D800 (36mp) gives more resolution than the D750 (24mp)."
·
"I'd look no further than used Nikon D3300 with used Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8 DX lens."
·
"I love my Nikon d800’s: full frame"
·
"Nikon d5600: crop sensor"
·
"Why not look at a used D800 or even a D850, you’re already familiar with the camera operation and they have the video features you want."
·
"Nikon D7000. Two card slots, can use any F mount Nikon lens plus meter manual lenses."

Canon

"I would say for a DSLR the Canon 1DX III with either a EF 400mm f/2.8 or the 600mm f/4 lens."
·
"Canon EOS R1 with the RF 600 f/4 L and / or the RF 400 f/2.8. Add a 1.4x extender to the kit too."
·
"The 60D is available for cheap and is still a great camera. I still use it."
·
"The Canon 60D is midrange, and will do just about everything you could ask it."
·
"R7! Great little camera."
·
"R7 and adapter and all your EF lenses are golden. That 17-55 f2.8 is an awesome lens."
·
"The R7 is the top of the crop sensor lineup, and it pairs very nicely with your 17-55 f/2.8."
·
"Well I bought a M50II with a EF adapter and a 15 - 45mm EF-M lens as an upgrade from my T3i (600D). The difference is amazing with significantly less noise at higher ISOs and incredible dynamic range."
·
"The r10 is absolutely phenomenal with the ef17-55/2.8."
·
"Just the regular Canon EOS-R adapter - may as well go officially to ensure maximum compatibility."
·

Sony

4.5
(21)
"I'll second the a6700 and ZVE10ii suggestions. The best part is your Nikon F mount lenses can easily be adapted to Sony E mount too."
·
"The ZV-E10 is great. I’ve used it for several years. The stabilization, 10 bit color, viewfinder and 4K 60fps on the a6700 are worth the difference in price."
·
"A6700"
·
"Yea the a6700 can do 4k 10 bit 4:2:2."
·
"I would recommend the Sony a6700, it is a fantastic hybrid stills/video option with some good content creator features."
·
"Sony a6000 with some vintage macro lens! Produces very great results for me"
·
"It's pretty dang small and it's a fantastic camera."
·
"I'd recommend checking out Sony Mirrorless DSLRs. There are a lot more here in China and the lenses, filters, and other accessories are easy to get."
·
"Sony if pro. Fuji if hobby. DSLRs are outdated."
·
"Sony ZV-E10. It's equivalent to the Sony a6000 series."
·

Pentax

4.0

"I got a Pentax dslr and then a Pentax film camera and most of my lenses are interchangable."
·
"Pentax K1000."
·
"I'd suggest Pentax and some classic lenses, as the K mount lenses can be swapped between digital and analog bodies."
·
"Pentax k100d."
#5

Sigma

4.7
(3)
"If your budget is around 1000 then heed all of our advice and go for the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary. You will get the best bang for the money."
·
"Easiest would be get a Sigma C 150-600 EF lens and you can practice with the camera you have."
·
"I started with an even lower model Canon body to start, and then bought a used Sigma 150-500 mm lens for it."
#6

Panasonic

4.0

"Try a Panasonic Lumix LX100. Not DSLR it's a 4/3rds, but my favourite and it fits in your pocket"
·
"Def recommend the Lumix LX100 if you want a compact camera."
#7

Nikon D3300

4.0
(2)
"Note that the D3300 is compatible with the AF-P lenses"
·
"I’d say D3300, and pair it with the 70-300 AF-P VR DX"
