Sony wasn’t a film camera manufacturer so they had to prove a lot to be a competitor in the market. IMO their earlier point and shoots were not that great and it wasn’t til the acquisition of Konica Minolta did they start to make some real traction. The one thing that was lost in the acquisition was Konica color science, Sony had to create their own color science and it wasn’t as good as the likes of Canon, Nikon, Fuji, or Olympus but it improved over time.

Sony a6000? Or even better an a6100. You didn't add a budget so who knows how much you can spend. At this point even the a7iii is pretty old More on reddit.com

Full frame benefits: shallower depth of field, better low light performance, better ergonomics (more manual buttons and dials) Apsc benefits: smaller bodies and lenses, less expensive too, more "reach" (because the field of view is 1.5x cropped in vs full frame) Now, the model series... A7 III and IV (avoid previous ones): great all-purpose full frame cameras, good for both video and photo. The IV has better autofocus, better video specs, jumps to 33mp from 24, has a fully articulating screen and the newer menu system. A7C: this is the "compact" series; basically an a7 III with better autofocus, fewer controls and a smaller body. A7R III, IV, V: High resolution sensors, primarily geared toward photography. The V has the newer menu system, the newest AF and a screen that flips and tilts in all directions. The IV has the same 61mp sensor as the V, the III has 42 mp. A7S III: primarily geared toward video and low light shooting. 12mp and it can basically see in the dark. ZV-E1: same as above except with no viewfinder, fewer manual controls and a smaller body. A9 & a9II: photo caméras optimized for high speed burst shooting. A1: very expensive camera which combines the best of all the above models (except the screens). A6000: APSC camera with 24mp. Older model with not-so-great colour science if shooting in JPG. Only shoots 1080 video. Battery life isn't great. A6300: same as above but with better weather sealing and 4k video. A6500: same as above but with in body stabilization. A6100: replaces the a6000 and shoots 4k video, has better autofocus and a screen that flips upwards 180°. A6400: same as the 6100 but adds weather sealing and picture profiles for shooting video. ZV-E10: basically the same as above with no viewfinder, a smaller body, fewer manual controls and some unique video features. A6600: same as the 6400, adds in body stabilization and does not have a built in flash. It uses the bigger battery of the full frame bodies which significantly improves battery life. A6700: replaces the 6600. Adds a new 26mp sensor, same autofocus as a7R V, more video options (eg 4k 60fps, 120fps, etc) and a front control dial on the grip. I think thats as concise as I can make it. I may have missed a thing or two. Edit: added some things for the a7IV More on reddit.com
