How soon is soon?

The Sony A6000 is more than good enough for all your needs, but the kit lens isn't outstanding.

An Olympus EM5 II ought to serve well. Get the 12-50 kit lens and you'll have an excellent 24-100 equivalent lens with great close up capability (has an excellent macro mode).

What you'll need most of all is just one thing -

"Practice".
Looking for a Rokinon/Samyang 135 F/2 Lens in excellent condition.

Also looking for a few Canon NB-10L Batteries.

I am soon going on a trip to Vietnam, and seeing all the youtube videos and pictures of all the scenic locations, I am itching to buy a camera for my trip, and hopefully get into travel photography and videography as a hobby.

I do know a lot can be done on the phone these days, but I still want to buy a camera, and I think this is a good enough reason to do it.
I will try to capture some cinematic shots, and maybe click portraits and also some street photography. A little bit of everything, if you may.

What camera should I go for?
I dont really have a very hard budget, but want to spend as less as possible as I dont know how real my interest is, yet.

Initially, I was interested in buying the Fujifilm x100vi, because it looks so nice but then I thought maybe putting so much money into that is not worth it, atleast not until I actually figure out whether I'll be doing this a lot or not.

So now I am looking into options such as A6100 or A6600.

I gotta say, I do like the look of Fuji images.

Can anyone who has been on a similar boat as me, make suggestions?
