I am looking for a camera (the most convenient digital device with interchangeable optics) to about 3000 PLN. Little skills, no knowledge, and the requirements are:
* Mostly product photography (frames 20x30cm, sometimes slightly larger 55x20, sometimes smaller 10x15), handicraft products up to 20-30cm
* Everyday photography - holidays, playground, etc., etc.
Separately, I will probably buy some very basic equipment, such as a light tent, lamps and a tripod.
Everyone has their preferences for some kind of equipment. I prefer SLRs to a very long time and I will stay with them (I think?). When it comes to reflex cameras, I prefer Canon because it has the most available lenses and it works well with the old ones. The prices are affordable and the accessories abound, also in the aftermarket. Personally, I use analog glass a lot as well as my own optical constructions (macro, astro, etc.) that work with my Canon without any problems. There is also an extension ML software for those willing. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern In addition, this system films better and has a more transparent policy when it comes to all stabilization, drives, etc. Simply all the stabilization is ONLY in the lenses, not in the body. If we want stabilization, we buy an IS lens and that's it. Such stabilization is more efficient than the one in the body, but I personally am not too interested in it because it only stabilizes the camera (down to minus 3 EV) just like a tripod and will not result in a clear photo of a fast moving subject at long exposure. Stabilization (IMHO) is overrated. A much more important issue is the brightness of the lens and the useful sensitivity of the camera. Here (unfortunately) you have to pay quite a lot for it, and in all systems and especially in mirrorless cameras. The latter also have a fairly small selection of lenses. Nikon is also a very good system and it makes even slightly better pictures like Canon, but ... it does not work as well with foreign lenses as other systems (no simple possibility of sharpening analog lenses endlessly because it requires an adapter with a lens that worsens the optics). Pentax is also good and maybe even the best, but the selection of original lenses is small and it is quite a niche system. If I were you, I would choose this: https://www.ceneo.pl/36172667#tag=familyNameList and this lens: http://www.cyfrowe.pl/aparaty/obiektyw-canon-18-135mm-f-35-56-ef-s-is-stm-oem.html It exceeds the assumed budget a bit, but IMHO - it's worth it. If you absolutely have to stay within 3 kPLN, buy a different lens to start with. For example - https://www.ceneo.pl/37898886
It's already a better basic kit. This standard prime, after multiplication by 1.6, will give 80 mm so it is not a bright but useless focal length.

I cannot agree with this filming in Canon reflex cameras, I already wrote - poor codec, poor AF in LV. Mirrorless cameras are 100 times better here and there is not a lot of lenses in the system if there are 2-3 that we need. https://www.ceneo.pl/15843688#tab=reviews_scroll If you go this way, then such a lens and at the beginning the cheapest used can for less than PLN 300.

You cited my statement inaccurately. You omitted the fragment - "If you have to stay within the budget ..." and the conversion focal length of about 80 mm is most useful for product photography, which is given by the interviewee in the first place. This focal length is also suitable for other photos, including difficult lighting conditions and landscapes, as well as portraits. If it is "tight", you can buy a different lens in the future. I would choose that and someone else may choose otherwise. At the beginning I suggested a different focal length and a different lens. The latter choice is reserved. You only need a few lenses, but the choice of Canon devices is much greater, including the cheaper and alternative ones. As for filming, however, the advantage of opinions on various forums is definitely positive when it comes to Canon. The vast majority recommend these cameras for filming.

Maybe they install an alternative soft ML or go manual focus but it takes a lot of effort and some hardware. You can buy an EOS-M mirrorless camera at the "Russian market" and if necessary, use all SLR lenses through the converter.
The products you provide, you can make any SLR produced for 7-8 years at a level exceeding their publications. Buy the Nikon D3300 + 18-55 in the set if it is to be new, and the used one now has a good price for the D5100, more depending on the lighting and the ability to operate it for photos. Forget about shadowless tents and these lamps because photos will be like nightmares from many online stores or allegro, similarly, shadowless tables are not suitable for anything.
The discussion revolves around selecting a digital camera suitable for product and everyday photography within a budget of 3000 PLN. Recommendations include the Sony A6000 with a 16-50mm lens for its versatility. Canon DSLRs are favored for their extensive lens availability and compatibility with older models, with suggestions for the Canon EOS-M mirrorless camera for those needing a compact option. The Nikon D3300 with an 18-55mm lens is also recommended for new purchases, while the D5100 is suggested for used options. The importance of proper lighting equipment, such as light tents and lamps, is noted, although some participants express skepticism about their effectiveness in achieving quality product photography.
