I've been browsing reviews, YouTube, articles and here and I can't make up my mind.

I've been trying to score either alpha 7 iii or a6400 for under or at $500-$650. It's not happening in my used market space.

Only reason I'm looking for Sony is how amazing reviews people put here, plus support Sigma glass.

I understand it's better to put extra money into lens.

Since, I can't find good used camera deal for Sony, I just refuse, out of principal to pay $900 for camera that came out 5 years ago!

While Nikon z50 ii came out recently and is for 1000. I get it's limited glass support, but does Nikon not have an answer to Sony + sigma 18 50 combo?

I will not be shooting any wildlife or bird. Just casual street photography, and vacation photos of family and stuff. It will be my first camera and want to get a hang of using them, understanding photo editing raw and experimenting shooting couple, etc.

Copy/paste this template into your post and fill it out:

(1) Budget, country, and currency: $1000. $1500 is PUSHING

(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs? None. Want to get a new camera

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot?
Casual, Street, people, buildings

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both? Both. Mostly photography until I get a gimbal

Hi, I'm an architecture student and I have plans to do a study trip in Japan next year. Part of the assignent is to document the trip and create an exhibition. A lot is dedicated to photo/video of urban life and architecture.

I'm really interested in taking a lot of photos and some video abroad, but it's obvious my D7000 and Sigma 17-50 2.8 is not going to cut it. It is simply too bulky and heavy to be an everyday carry so I'll end up not taking any pictures. Video is also terrible on old Nikon DSLR.

Since budget is a concern (I also have to pay for the trip) I was considering getting an older camera. First, I looked at Sony and Fuji for compact APS-C bodies, but I was shocked by how expensive these ecosystems are even on the used market. Heck, a Sony a6000 goes for 400$ on ebay which seems like a scam for an 11 year old entry level camera.

For the about the same price (USD 450$-500$) , I saw a lot of Nikon Z50 for sale. Some even coming with a 16-50mm Nikkor kit lens. I find it a bit suspicious that the Z50 has depreciated so fast, but I figured a lot of people got rid of theirs when the Z50ii came out.

Would the Z50 be a good fit for travel photography/edc ?
