Which mirrorless camera is best for a beginner?

For under roughly $800, the Canon EOS R50 gets the strongest reviewer consensus among current mirrorless options thanks to a modern 24MP APS-C sensor, capable autofocus, and the growing RF mount. The Sony a6400 is also frequently recommended where Sony's E-mount lens ecosystem is preferred. Reviewers caution that the bundled kit zooms on either system are weak and most users will want to upgrade lenses early.
