Image 1 — Upgrade after my 550D got stolen

Upgrade after my 550D got stolen

Proud new owner of a ZV-E10. Upgraded to this after my Canon 550D was stolen, along with all my lenses/SD cards and whacky adapters that I've 3D printed over time. Bit of a sour upgrade after losing all that stuff and being stuck with a kit lens until I can get a better one, but nonetheless, I'm excited to be able to shoot some actually decent video and finally have some decent AF as well lol. I'll miss my dinosaur but I think I'll be more capable with this

Bought secondhand for R9.5k ($585), 3 months old, still under warranty, basically brand new. I think it was a pretty fair deal.

Camera got stolen, need help deciding on a replacement (A6400 vs. ZV-E10)

- Budget: +- R10k ($608)

- Country: South Africa

- Condition: Used

- Type of camera: Mirrorless

- Intended use: Mainly photography, but want to start shooting video as well

- If photography, what style: Portrait for money, macro for fun

- If video, what style: Leaning towards cinematic

- What features do you absolutely need: Good AF and tracking

- Portability: not a concern

- Cameras you're considering: A6400; ZV-E10; Maybe EOS R50?

- Cameras you already have: (had) Canon EOS 550D; Ricoh KR-5; EOS 350D (all gone :( )

- Notes: trying to decide between the A6400 and the ZV-E10, I know that internally they are virtually the same camera. The main differences I'm trying to weigh up is if the trade off of an EVF is worth gaining the gyro stabilization and articulating LCD.

I intend to do mostly photography in the beginning, but would love to get into videography at some point (probably as soon as I have a camera with better AF than my dinosaur of a 550D had) and for that I feel like the ZV-E10 may be a better choice? I'm just worried about trading off the photography features that the A6400 is built for, for the prospect of having slightly better video features.

Also nervous about branching into the Sony E ecosystem, from what I can see the lenses are a lot more expensive than RF or EF glass, and for that reason I'm also considering the R50.

I'm very open to suggestions and any information that I've missed would be very much appreciated!

Before/After

Just finished this edit, felt a little bit lost with it, and now looking at it, I'm not sure if I went overboard with the colour's and saturation in the flower? I wanted to get it to pop a bit more because I personally love the composition, but feel like the background distracts from the flower a little bit. Wasn't sure how else to go about drawing attention to it. Any feedback would be appreciated!
