"I made the exact same move - 70D to R7 - and never looked back."
"I got canon r50 during the sale for around 55k."

"Hands down, the z50ii. Get nice glass with the money left over."
"The Nikon Zf refurbished keeps popping up on the Nikon site for $1199."
"You can buy the Z6 refurbed with the 24-70S on B&H for like $900 last I checked."

"I found this video really helpful in making my decision to go with the Nikon Z8."
"Highly recommend refurbished Z5."
"The Nikon Z7 has superior usability and build quality, including environmental protection."
"I would look into getting a Z6ii if you can and get a 40mm 2.0 lens."

"A used lens with warranty for under $200."
"I bought a factory refurbished Olympus em5 mkiii for under $600 and a used lens with warranty for under $200. A small and light combination!"

"The E-M1 Mark III is available for around $800-900 used, and lenses are available starting at $100-150 for solid zooms."
"Micro Four Thirds is a great system to start with at that price, as lenses are cheap on the used market."
"OMD EM1 MKII or OMD EM5 MKII."
"Olympus OM-1 is pretty good with the best stabilization in the industry."
"I switched to m43 and got an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV and I'm really happy with it."

"Panasonic GX85, especially if you want to use vintage lenses and have the feel of a film camera."
