The best camera is not the one with the longest specification sheet. It is the system whose lenses, handling, service, and total cost fit the work you actually want to make.
Begin with two or three real situations: family and travel, birds at distance, studio portraits, documentary work, or hybrid stills and video. Those situations determine focal length, autofocus, low-light needs, size, and the accessories that belong in the budget.
A local comparison matters because grip shape, viewfinder behavior, menu design, and lens balance are difficult to judge from a browser tab. Bring an existing lens or memory card, ask to compare complete kits, and price the system rather than only the body.
