$1,100
The best APS-C Sony in 2026. Same sensor as the Sony FX30 cinema camera. 5-axis IBIS, 4K/120fps, AI-based tracking AF. A system you will not outgrow as a creator.
Watch out for
At ₹1.26L body-only, this is a significant investment. Pair with Sony 16-50mm kit to start, then add the Sony 35mm f/1.8 at Month 3.
Cost of ownership
At this tier, lens investment matters more than body. Budget ₹40,000-80,000 for a prime lens over Year 1.
