Camera Suggestion for beginner

[Shaw]

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

Thanks for the suggestion, I hear its video is not that good, I'd also want it to have good video.

Olympus EM5 II sounds like it is extinct now, can you suggest other alternatives?

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

Vietnam is the kind of place where reach is often more important than anything else.
I had opted for the Nikon Z 24-200mm and wasnt disappointed. Here's a few examples shot at the longer end :-

It is the best do-it-all zoom out there in terms of balance of IQ and reach. You can also consider the Tamron 28-200mm for Sony E mount and the Tamron PZD 28-300mm for Canon EF/Nikon F mounts. Both of these are excellent choices too but personally 28mm just doesnt cut it for me at the wider end.

How soon is soon?

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".

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.
