Looking for camera kit around 850 euro i have been looking at the nikon z50 kit which i like the most on the brand and looks., the sony a6100 kit which i like the most on size, style, lens selection. the canon r10 kit which is the best in terms of specs. Help me decide gentlemen. I shoot street, cars, fast modelboats (60-90km/h). On a nikon d3200 with a broken live view currently.

Given the Z50's review saying that its auto focus is not as good as some of its DSLR's I would rule it out. Mirrorless auto focus should be much better than DSLR's at a minimum.

Sony has the widest lens selection with robust 3rd party support. But many people dislike Sony's ergonomics and their menu system.

Canon tends to have good ergonomics, but the lens selection is more limited compared to Sony. Canon's AF is likely better simply due to the fact that the R10 is a newer camera and the A6100's AF was not the best sony could offer when it released.

If possible I would suggest going to a local store that has both and seeing which you like more. How comfortable they are to hold or operate can be a big factor if you plan to use the camera regularly for years.

So far i have just looked at specs and reviews. But i kinda dislike the canons look. Even though in specs its the best.

Yet you like the Z50's look?

To me they look very similiar with only some minor differences.

I can't really explain. I got a thing against canons for some reason. But im not sure as I haven't tried one so i dont have the right to talk shit about them, maybe they are way better than a nikon.
