I’m looking to buy a camera. I’m looking to use it for hiking, vlogging YouTube videos and photography in general. I’ve a budget of around £600. Would anyone be able to help??

You could do that with a decent phone. I would say iPhone 17 but that's £799. Why do you want the camera and which aspects are most important to you?

I think the ability to buy accessories such as lenses etc is most important. I’d like something that you can built up over time if that makes sense?

Something like:

An A7 iii is probably out of budget with a Lens included. They typically go for about 600 with body only.

That bundle you linked seems like a decent and comprehensive starter kit. Enough to get a good photo, but plenty of room for improvement. Could be worth a shot to try your hand first before spending more? Not sure how experienced you are with cameras! :P

I’m not that experienced tbh. I’ve had them in the past but nothing that was worth anything.

If you are serious about vlogging then you need a flip out screen because you need to be able to see yourself. Your criteria is basically like everything all at once. Photo, video, vlogging.....it's essentially jack of all trades, master of none.

The Sony A7S series is the master of video, it isn't really that great for photos, I think off my head it is like a 12mp sensor? While it is fine, I mean you can print A4 with that but personally I want at least 24mp.

The A73 is the perfect Master of all trades camera, the 1st IMO from Sony, A74 would be even more ideal with its flip out screen. On the Fuji side it's probably the XT4 (when they added in IBIS). The XM5 is worth considering but it's a bit too expensive. Both have flip out screen.

I see what you mean. Okay then what if I upped the budget to say £1000. But bought a camera for photography and then something like Dji Osmo? Maybe that would be better. Rather than as you say expecting one item to do everything.

If your vlogging just use your phone + gimbal. If vlogging at home/studio, then get some LED lights, & DJI mic mini.

The above would produce better results for everything but photography.
The A7's tend to overheat doing video. To make my A7IV work, I had to have an 80mm fan blowing on the back of the camera.

If however you are serious about photography, I would use a dedicated photo setup.

That’s not a bad idea to use my phone. It’s worth a try even thoughts it’s an iPhone 12 Pro Max. I think I would rather buy a dedicated camera overall. Even those 360 Cameras looks okay.

Maybe take a look at GoPros then. The GoPro Hero is £169.99:


I would buy separates, i.e. a cheapish vlog cam and then a proper camera for photography.

That’s not a bad idea. What proper camera would you recommend. Something like this.
