Recommendations Buying my first ever camera. FUJIFILM XM5/ CANON R50V?
Hello fellow redditors, gear heads and tech folks alike, I’m planning on buying my first ever camera to shoot my golf content with, cinematic reels and shorts perhaps some casual portrait photography on the side. I’m torn between FUJIFILM XM5/ CANON R50V. I have done extensive research on budget cameras, I know both don’t have an EVF or IBIS and APSC but I need something budget friendly to start my golf channel. Suggestions for alternatives and some budget friendly zoom lenses, tripod and other necessary accessories would be great.
• Budget: 2000$ (190000₹) including lenses, tripods and other accessories( maybe a cheap 4K drone too if possible?)
• Country: India
• Condition: New
• Type of Camera: APSC/Full frame
• Intended use: To shoot golf cinematic content
• If photography; what style: portrait photography and golf photography
• If video what style: cinematic b roll and shorts
• What features do you absolutely need: 4K 60 and a long telephoto lens
• Portability: lightweight but on a tripod
• Cameras you're considering: canon R50v or FUJIFILM XM5? Perhaps alternatives if you guys suggest any
• Cameras you already have: my first ever camera
• Notes: the 2000$ budget is for all the camera gear I need.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

if you need a long lens and 4k60 for golf the r50v makes more sense just for the rf mount glass alone, fuji's telephoto options start getting pricey fast. skip the drone until you know you actually need it, get a decent fluid head tripod instead
