Nikon Z30

Mentioned price is with 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 lens.
"The Nikon Z30 is clearly designed with content creators in mind, particularly those intending to film vlogging-style content. It captures 4K/30p video from the full width of the sensor and 1080p video at 120 fps. Lens options are sparse, but it's paired with a respectable 16-50mm (24-70mm equiv) vibration reduction (VR) kit lens that's great for casual run-and-gun shooting" according to DP review in 2022.
