More generally find a DSLR that is on sale/refurbished. I used to be a Canon fanboy but I first wound up with just one lens (20 mm prime, which I love but my wife hates) and then I lost my camera.

I wanted a full-frame camera and shopped Canon and Nikon and found all the photographers were complaining that the autofocus was unreliable on the lower-end full-frame bodies.

Mine is an α2 and I paid about half that much when they were on sale. Good luck during the global electronics shortage.

I have five or so lenses and a powerful flash. I usually get stuff refurbished from B&H, Adorama, etc. (Just linked to Amazon because the B&H link from Google had an advertising link that was busted)

It takes more of a commitment to photography than most people want to make but I like the results I get from a good session.
