>>4025569>Do I need full frame?No but Im not going to lie to you like the micro penis sensor cucks and tell you that it wont help. You will not find any 1500 quid full frame that satisfies your aesthetic requirement. I have 2 recommendations for you.
>Canon EOS RP & Canon 16mm f2.8 This thing is the best value overall. About 1000 quid for the body and lens. Dont make the mistake of thinking all full frames are somehow magically amazing in low light. This things good, but its cheap for a reason. It's better than aspc, but its a bottom of the barrel full frame sensor. Still good, but you get what you pay for.
>Lumix S5 & Panasonic 24mm f1.8This option is about £1750 all up for the body and the 24mm. I know it's a bit of a stretch of your budget but this thing can see in the dark. Incredible ISO performance. The only thing that trumps it is the a7sIII which is £3000 just for the body. If you're more into night time shots and astro photography, this thing is undeniably the best bang for the buck right now. Its on my own personal list, just waiting for a sale.
Now, if you really want to gimp performance for aesthetics and get something you like to look at, there's 2 options I can think of.
>Nikon Zfc & 28mm f2.8This thing is more of a money grab by nikon than anything. It's essentially a z50 wrapped up in a retro body. Perfectly acceptable performance for a decent price. You should be able to find both the body and the pancake lens under 900 quid.
>Fuji XT3 & 16mm f2.8Amazing colors, superior noise control, great film simulations. The pinnacle of apsc. About 800 quid for the body and 350-400 pounds for the lens. 1200 all up for an amazing setup. You could probably wait for a sale around mid-year during eofy and just about squeeze an XT4 into your £1500 budget.
In my personal opinion, I think you need to decide between a Fuji and the S5.
