Sony

(105)
"I would choose a9."
"A9 if you can spare that much money. It’s the camera for sport shots."
"The A7RV is almost as good as the new A1ii but at about half the price. I can't recommend it highly enough"
"I really enjoy it for the incredible AI autofocus and also for the 8 stops of in body image stabilisation, which means going handheld for video is a breeze."
"A7RV. It's similar to the A7IV but better in every way"
"A1ii. If "no matter the price" then an fx30 and an a1ii combined."
"If price no issue then A1 II"
"A7cii can be low as $1700 body only. I love mine, amazing camera."
"Get an A74! Easily my favourite hybrid camera under $3k."
"A7IV is the best all around camera you can get."

"S5ii hands down. Nothing can really touch it for the price."
"The current king of hybrid IMO is the S5IIX; it's what I use when I'm not renting a Pyxis."
"S5ii for almost every reason"
"S5II"
"Bought a brand new s5ii with Sigma 28-70 for less than a used sony/lense combo."
"Found an s5iix for a much better price even with 2 lens included. Immediately abandoned sony."
"The Lumix S5 is probably your best option. It’s a full-frame camera with great color science."
"I can already say that I choose right."
"Have been thrilled every time I use it."
"A7iv, S5ii, R6ii should all be able to be found in that price range."

Fujifilm

"Fuji XH2s, Nikon Z6iii or even zf, Canon r6ii, Panasonic s5iix all lose very little or even beat the a7iv in many areas."
"Got a xh2s because of this, very satisfied."
"I've heard great things about the fuji xh2s, worth a look."
"Seconding the X-s20, hard to beat as far as hybrid cameras go."
"Get an used Fujifilm X-T4. You’ll have money left over for lenses."
"Fujifilm xh2 used with the kit lens will be right at $2k."
"Bang for buck nothing comes even close to any fuji camera since the XT3."
"Fuji XT-3 i would say"
"Out of all of those, I’d say the X-T4."
"Just get the Xt3 or 4 and be done with it"

"The R8 is an incredible hybrid camera that can be had for $1300 new at B&H."
"Canon R5ii is a beast."
"Canon R6ii (S/H)"
"Canon R7."
"Canon r8."
"I would pick Canon R6 II."
"I recommend the r7 or r8, r6 m2 if you have a higher budget."
"I have the R5, and the lowlight capabilities are incredible."
"Canon R5 R6 Mark 2 and Sony A74 would be good for photo and video."
"R5 is an easy decision here, if $ isn’t a factor."

"Nikon Z6III. I can recommend."
"Have you considered a Z8? It is a much better AF and much better video camera."
"It's superior to the z6ii."
"Nikon zf."
"If money is no concern, check out the newly announced Nikon Z9. That thing is insane on paper."
"Z6III wipes the floor with the a7iv."
"Nikon is killing it right now. Graet stills and amazing video in the z6iii and z8."
"Nikon Z6III is pretty killer for both photo and video."
"If video is more important, check out the Nikon Z6 iii"
"Lumix S5IIX, Nikon Zf, Canon R6II. These will be my top picks."
#6
OM System
4.2
(6)
"The OM-1 + 12–100mm f/4 pro combo is pretty hard to top on any camera system."
"OM-1, and it’s not close right now, stacked sensor is 1-2 stops better for stills."
"OM1 still seems to have the better AF, and probably a bit better ISO performance."
"I much prefer the form factor of the OM1 over the G9ii."
"If you didn't need 4K120 I would recommend an OM1."
"OM1 isn’t very good for video."

"Alternatively, maybe you could get a lumix g9 or something else more photography focused and a Blackmagic pocket 4k."
"Buy the bmpcc 4k."
"The FZ2500 is probably the easiest choice, but it is an 8-bit camera."
#8
