Sony

"I can second this for the A6400 at least. I forget what lens I use (I think the normal one you get with an A6400) but I always thought the quality was fantastic."

"Love my Sony a6400 and they can be found with a lens for ~800. Stellar colors, small and light (but well built), good feature set."

"I really like my A6400."

"I got my a7iii for around 799."

"If I was starting over again with aps-c I think I'd stretch the budget for the Sony a6400."

"I'd grab an a6500 if possible. Small body/build, has ibis."

"I’d go for the a6700, the jpgs straight out of camera are nice enough."

"The Sony A6700 with a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens is a killer combo."

"The Sony A6700 is an incredible little hybrid camera. Pair it with a Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens and you're good to go."

"The in body stabilization is lovely with the adapted vintage lenses."

Canon

"I was in the same boat and recently bought Canon EOS R10 and it is perfect for me. It has great ergonomics, excellent autofocus and for a beginner camera, lots of manuel control options in my opinion."

"The R7 is fantastic bang for the buck right now."

"I love the thing so much"

"If I were to buy today, I would go for the R8, as the sensor is supposed to be better, especially in low light conditions."

"Went from 70D to R7. Got the EF-RF adapter and all my lenses are working."

"R6mkii or r7. But, for the multipurpose functions that you mention, I think that the r6mkii is better suited."

"I went from the 7d MK2 to the r7 and love it."

"I made the exact same move - 70D to R7 - and never looked back."

"I got canon r50 during the sale for around 55k."

"I can tell you the canon r50 is a BEAST when it comes to sports photography."

Nikon

"I own and shoot both the Z9 and Z6iii my absolute fav is my Z9 hands down."

"The Z8 is around 3.1k used, so you have just enough to you can grab the FTZ adapter for your old glass, along with the excellent Z 85mm 1.8 for portraits and be happy for a very long time."

"Nikon Z5ii and Z50ii are both excellent for budget pro work, depending on budget"

"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."

"IMO the best bang-for-buck camera is a used Z6."

"I found this video really helpful in making my decision to go with the Nikon Z8."

"Highly recommend refurbished Z5."

"I would look into getting a Z6ii if you can and get a 40mm 2.0 lens."

Panasonic

"A great affordable first camera is a Micro Four-Thirds one like the Panasonic GX85. The lenses cost much less than other systems and everything's smaller and lighter, which means it's easier to bring with you more often."

"Yes. Gx80/Gx85 is such a great camera."

"Have a look for a used Panasonic G80/81/85 kit (different name depending on where you live) with the 12-60mm lens. Great camera and can often be had for ~$300 equivalent here in Sweden."

"The Panasonic 14-140mm Power OIS II lens is a great all around lens for hiking, that will give her the full range she wants. I would pair it with the Panasonic G85 or G95 to take full advantage of the dual IS and weather sealing."

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

"You can get a renewed Lumix S5 II body for $1575 from Amazon. That's probably the one I would get."

"Panasonic LUMIX s5II / s5IIX."

"If compact is your primary goal, look at the GX85 + 2 lens kit. I adore mine."

"If you want solid photo and video I'd go for the limo G85."

"I just got LUMIX G85. It looks pretty great in OBS."

Fujifilm

"My Fujifilm X-T4 ist my favorite walk around camera at the moment. It is light, produces great photos and I love the ability to simulate film."

"Assuming that you want an APS-C sensor go towards Fujifilm or Sony and skip everything else."

"The X-T4 is a very capable photo and video camera, compact with beautiful image quality."

"The Fujifilm XT-5 is amazing for professional wedding photography, offering great quality in a compact form."

"It was a great kit that served me well."

"You can't go wrong with Fujifilm nowadays, they have solidified themself as a valid and competent brand."

"I own a FUJI XT2 and have had it since it came out. Takes pro quality photos."

"I'd suggest a Fuji XT-1 with the 27mm F2.8 pancake lens and you have a pocketable beast."

"The x-m5 is in your price range and they're quite sweet too."

"There are lots more lenses for Fujifilm."

Olympus

(12)

"A used lens with warranty for under $200."

"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."

"Honestly, I’d probably just stick with Olympus. Used em5ii or em1ii bodies should be pretty cheap and those em1ii’s still hold up so well."

"Anything not weather sealed, should be a no go. Olympus being one of the only bodies that have specific weather sealing ratings vs marketing claims of sealing."

"I went from the 70d to the R7, and it was a game changer."
