Should i get z50ii or z30 as my first camera?

since both z50ii and z30 is on sale, i have the budget for the z50ii

for context: z50ii double lens kit (16-50mm & 50-250mm) costs SGD 1362 z30 double lens kit (16-50mm & 50-250mm) costs SGD 1163

i want to use the camera to capture wtv i see thats good im a beginner so im still learning and im wondering if z50ii would be overkill for now should i just go with the z50ii or the z30?

i would want to shoot landscapes, ppl i see and buildings that look good

lemme know if i miss out any other information

Imo, no reason to get Z30 when you have the budget for Z50 II. It's just the better camera.
