What to choose for a beginner's camera?

[VincentBulan]

I'm from philippines and price here is quite more expensive.

I am just using my phone for casual photgraphy and recently try to do like cinematic shots of my travel or events like bday. Instead of buying a flagship phones which are quite expensive I would like to buy my 1st camera.

Since I am a beginner I still don't know what kind of photography will I be doing the most but maybe I will start with friend portraits, food, travel, pet(dog, bird, and a chameleon).

So I'm looking for all around camera for photography, and for video I would like to have 4k since I have a pc that can handle it on post and I think my family would love to watch it on a 4k tv. Touch screen I think would be good for me coming from using a phone. I want a camera that can grow with me as I learn and be able to just buy few lenses after a while and can be my 2nd camera if I want to get serious and buy a much professional camera.

Here are some of cameras I like based on youtube reviews, and it's price here

G7 $720
M50 $900
X-T20 $850

Other cameras but little more expensive for my budget.
G85 $1000
a6300 $1000

Can you suggest which one? Or suggest other camera?

The only camera I can say about is the Fuji X-T20. I use to have one and think it is a very good/great little camera, and the images it puts out are great and the IQ is just stunning.

Hows the video quality of xt20? Does the time limit of video bothers you?

I never actually used the video on my X-T20, but I did read that is was very good if you wanted to do a video.

I have a Sony A6000 which is the model the A6300 replaced. I've seen the A6000 in various kits for around 1/2 the price of the A6300. I don't know what improvements the A6300 has over the A6000 but, I've been very satisfied with my A6000 and would recommend it to anyone in your situation.

That is what i bought my daughter for christmas. A6000. Her last camera i bought her was film. She wanted to learn more so i bought her the a6000 and the basic beginner kit tripod / flash / filters etc all at once. She is a highschool senior and doing college claases same time. I am hoping it is something she likes and will carry her through into college when she goes away.
