Getting back into photography - Canon R6ii vs Nikon Z5ii

Hi everyone, first time posting here. I originally got into photography back in 2011, and I’ve used different brands. No specific kind of photos, a mix of travel, landscapes, some wildlife when I could. I kind of feel out of love with things during the pandemic, as I was working a lot, couldn’t get out as much (especially abroad) and gear started getting ever more expensive. But I’m looking to try to get back into it, given how much I used to enjoy it.

I’m based in the UK, and my budget gives me a could have options for roughly £1500 for a body (a little bit more might be justifiable), plus a non-pro lens or two.

I can get a Z5ii for £1499 with maybe a 35mm 1.4 and another lens (maybe a mid-range zoom). Alternatively, there’s a deal on Canon R6ii for £1699, where I could get either a 28-70 f2.8, or a 45mm f1.2+other lens. I’m struggling to choose. I have thought about a r8 or a Sony a7iii, but the former has tiny batteries and the latter is getting on a bit in years. I have considered APSC and m43, but not convinced, as a bit of an edge in lowlight is good.

What do you all think? I know it’s super subjective, but views and experiences all welcome and very much appreciated.

I’ve just finished my first Penitent Engine. What do we think? Things to improve or build upon? I could be happier with the yellows on the trousers and the braziers, but overall I’m fairly happy with how it’s turned out.
