Hi everyone . So after buying my first DSLR secondhand two years ago (canon 600D) I'm finally ready for an upgrade. I'd like to have something suited to both video + photos as the 600D is a bit of a dinosaur now.. I'll try and keep this short as possible although there's a few things to mention so this might be quite an essay .
My other want's are-
4K video.
Must include kit lens for price (max £750)
Picture profiles/logs (not essential).
Decent autofocus (must!!!)
Good for both stills and videos.
As future proof as possible (not even a thing I know lol).
Mirrorless because of size although I might consider another DSLR.
My max budget isn't that large although if I also sell my 600D I can spend more say up to £750, think I've got no chance getting anything decent for closer to £500. I have no problem with buying secondhand as well. I've looked at the sony a6000, lumix G90, lumix G80, eos M50, and finally the sony A6100. I've found the a6000 isn't much of an upgrade over the 600D in many ways, the G90 and G80 are nice but seem a bit lacking in some things, the m50 hasn't got decent 4K video settings (no D.P autofocus and large crop etc).
It seems the a6100 is the closest to all my wants at £750 with a kit lens only downside is the lack of picture profiles, I'd rather not spend that much but I know it's a relatively small budget for a camera so I'll probably have to spend that. I'd love to hear people's thoughts or suggestions for alternatives, it seems like my ideal cameras are out of my budget as even secondhand they go for around £1000 (GH5, A7's, cannon R's etc). Sucks the A6100 is out of stock everywhere as well!.
Thanks
