Hello world,
I’m about ready to buy my first camera to begin my journey in photography. I’ve narrowed it down to Sony, and have three options.

These are my options:

1. a5100 with the Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS
2. a6000 with the Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS
3. a6300 with the E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens

The a5100 is about $380
The a6000 is about $550
The a6309 is about $690

Which of these would you recommend? I know absolutely nothing about cameras or lenses (so the stuff I wrote about the lenses doesn’t say anything to me…)
I mainly take pictures of nature and my dog.

Or would you recommend something different? My budget is somewhere between $500-$700 but preferably closer to $500.

Thank you guys in advance!
