Buying advice
- Start with an APS-C body like the Sony ZV-E10 or Canon EOS R50 if you are new — they are lighter, cheaper and easier to learn on.
- Move to full-frame such as the Canon EOS RP, R6 Mark II or Sony A7 IV for the best low-light performance and background blur.
- Stay within one brand's lens mount, since lenses are a long-term investment that hold their value.
- For video and vlogging, prioritise a flip-out screen and reliable autofocus, both strengths of the ZV-E10 and R50.
- Budget for a lens, a fast memory card and a spare battery on top of the camera body.
Verdict
For beginners the Sony ZV-E10 and Canon EOS R50 are the best starting points, offering great results at an accessible price. Enthusiasts should look at the Sony a6400 or the budget full-frame Canon EOS RP, while professionals will be best served by the Canon EOS R6 Mark II or the hybrid Sony A7 IV. Match the body to your goals and invest steadily in good lenses.
