Best second-hand cameras for beginner/hobby photography? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm getting into hobbyist photography and while my Pixel 7 Pro has an adequate camera, eventually I'm going to want something purpose-built. I'm been looking at the Fujifilm X-T10 but I also want to consider other options. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The "professional" choice: Fujifilm X-H1 with 16-80/4.
The "casual" choice: Nikon P7700.

Additional advice: Splurge on the lens, save with the camera, if you're on low-budget. If you're just getting into it and you're on the budget of a kidney stone, Nikon P7700. It supports RAW and has relatively good optics for point-and-shoot camera. Outclasses a phone any day, naturally.

If you want to do studio photography however, lighting first, anything else, second.

Edit: Reason why the 16-80/4 is its optical quality. This thing is incredible and is guaranteed to blow your socks off.
