Z fc

A mirrorless camera should outperform a compact because it'll have a physically bigger sensor, plus you can choose what lens you want - in your case, some sort of wide angle. You'll be looking at older mirrorless cameras within your budget, but basically any camera made in the last 10ish years shoul

here is my opinion of cameras that you can go for based on brandNikon:in full frame you can go nikon z5 in your budget with 24-70 f4s. It's a good combo i haved owned it personally in the past. The image quailty is really good including low light. The auto focus is a bit slow compared to newer nikon

I have the Nikon z6iii for more technical or precise photography, the zfc for places I might trash a camera (rivers, dirt, rain, etc) and lower-res, fun portraits. Something about that camera, people just respond to the vintage look (in the best way).

I moved to Nikon from Fuji two years ago when the Zf came out because I have always had the retro controls on my digital cameras. I used two Zf bodies for work and bought the Zfc for a daily carry camera because I wanted something lighter than the Zf. I now have 2 Z6iiis for work, and a ZF for life
