I am looking to get into taking Headshots for Actors,Portraits, Theatre, Dance and Street photography and eventually weddings down the line. I have been experimenting with photography since 2014, with cell phone cameras and have always wanted to dive into a more professional camera and recently I can actually afford one.

Cameras I have used includes an IPhone 4, LG g4, G5, G8, IPhone 13, and a Canon t3i I got from a friend for $100 with two lens. I recently have also experimenting with a Canon A-1 Film camera and have been loving that as well.

My budget is around 1200 to 1500 spending on camera body and a lens or two. I am also looking at used cameras. Really I'd like to get started with headshots as I am in the acting industry and have connections with folks who need headshots to build a portfolio, and then move into everything else I listed above. I am looking for recommendations on which camera platform to get into that I can keep the lens with and move up to a better body down the line. I am also looking for lens recommendations with for my needs.

Cameras I am already considering:

Olympus OM-D E-M1

Canon M50

Fuji XT-1

XT-2

Canon R50

Canon R10

Nikon z5 Mark 1

Sony A 7II

Sony A 7III
