I think almost any popular DSLR from the last 10–15 years, combined with the sort of zoom lens that you've already mentioned will be a sufficient choice for a newcomer.

Just make sure that it's in good working order if buying used and if you have a choice look for one with a lower shutter count. Another thing I'd suggest is to get something where you'll still be able to use your lenses if/when you upgrade.

I think if I were you I would get the Nikon D3300, 35mm 1.8 (nice background blur for close subjects i.e portraits) and a cheap kit lens.

You can also save money by ditching the Adobe suite and using Rawtherapee, ART or Darktable to process your raw image files and GIMP for the rest of your editing. These are all fantastic pieces of photography software.

Have a great time shooting in Paris!

For travel you are going to love the flexibility of the 12-60 lens. In the long run, good lenses are the most important aspect for such a decision.

Whether the 4k video feature is important enough for you, we cannot know.

My first, 4, to, maybe, 6 cameras, I always factored video features in.

Then I finally realized - I take ZERO videos with my cameras - I buy cameras for photography. My next purchase was a Sony A9, because despite mediocre (for the price) video features - it traded those in for even better photographic features!!

I don't even read the details of the video specifications when I shop for a camera ever since.

A bit of food for thought perhaps, if your primary aim is photography, as mine really was that whole time, but, "it can do LUTs" for some reason still appealed to the tech geek in me, lol.

My choice landed on the G80 and I don’t regret it. For the first lens, it doesn’t really matter, but as soon as you get deeper into the hobby and start buying and carrying more, a smaller camera with a smaller sensor is much more convenient.

And the problem, that smaller sensors are worse in low light, is sometimes true, but in most situations you wont notice it. The only times I had any problems were while photographing small, fast birds in a dark forest.

Get the cheapest and get a feeling for if this is the right thing for you or not, and if so, what more expensive equipment you actually need/want. You can always sell the stuff you don't need.

One other thing to consider later would be what lenses you can borrow from friends.

One thing to keep in mind as you (hopefully) get more into this, since you're not looking to do low-light photography, I would suggest cheeping out on the body, and emphasizing moreso for the glass. The lens you use matters a whole lot more than the body itself. That being said, make sure you like the features/look of the photos taken by more expensive bodies as well. It'll make upgrading a whole lot cheaper since you'll only need to upgrade the body instead of everything when you realize another brand has the look you want

(I started out on a Nikon D3200 in hs, then realized after college I liked Sony's mirrorless lineup a lot. I'm currently in the process of replacing the lenses I had originally gotten for the D3200, in addition to the camera body itself)
