- Video-heavy work: R6 Mark II (uncropped 4K 60p) or a7 IV (10-bit 4:2:2).
- Travel and street: a7C II or X100VI.
- Detail and dials: X-T5.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II or Sony a7 IV. Both are full-frame with dual card slots, excellent eye AF and 4K. The Nikon Z5 II is the value alternative that leaves money for an f/2.8 zoom.

R6 Mark II for faster bursts and uncropped 4K 60p; a7 IV for 33MP resolution and cheaper third-party lenses.
03Is the Fujifilm X100VI worth ₹1.6 lakh?
If you want a beautiful, pocketable everyday camera with a fixed 35mm-equivalent lens, yes. It can't change lenses, so it's a second camera for many professionals.
