Priorities in order:

  1. 80-90% SOOC (can’t give much time to editing). I am ready to give time to learning and practicing manual controls though.
  2. ergonomic, light.
  3. travel photos, capturing scenes like I see them with my eyes.
  4. low light photos.
  5. long-lasting gear. Okay with getting prime and telephoto lens later if needed.
  6. videography is not a priority as of now, may explore later.

Thanks!

Update: Decided to go with Fujifilm X-S10 + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 as I liked the fuji SOOC jpegs more. Sigma lens would have been sweet but I’m okay with the tradeoff.
Thank you everyone for being so helpful.

Update 2: Finally went with Fujifilm X-T30 II + XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 instead for looks, this was a close one as I had to give up Ibis and that grip.

    1. Smartphone. They do all the image processing, including HDR with multiple pictures etc.
    2. Smartphone.
    3. a) Smartphone
    4. b) impossible
    5. Any camera that has a high score in DXOmark “sport”.
    6. Essentially anything if you treat it well. Otherwise smartphone (water/dust/sand tight).
    7. DSLRs from 10 years ago can do 1080p. So unless you go really old: no problem.

      smartphone would work but I don’t want to invest in high end smartphones just for this, and I really wanna explore digital camera photgraphy

        Buy a used high end phone. 300 € is more than enough, should get you a <2 year old flagship.

        But if you want to explore the “real deal” obviously buy used.
