Kit Lens Included Mirrorless Cameras Under $500

Buying a body-only camera leaves budget for a better lens, but kit bundles lower the barrier to entry and get you shooting immediately, especially for first-time mirrorless buyers.

Entry-level and older models, often Micro Four Thirds or vintage APS-C bodies. Smaller sensors and aging lens lineups limit future flexibility, but good for casual shooters on a strict budget.
