All the camera manufacturers dont really scream "value" at the moment. Sony tend to provide a lot of sensors for the whole market, and their glass is pretty dang good too.
Yeah I've been a bit out of the loop with it all until recently. I think the last thing that seemed decently priced from Sony was the A7 III. But now I'm really noticing how bad it is across the board.

Yeah I've always liked their primes. I absolutely love my 85mm F1.8. And there are a ton of options with the E mount, as well as easy access to mount vintage glass with it.
You can always go down the second hand route as people inevitably follow their gear acquisition syndrome as new bodies come out and they look to offload their old ones.
It's a bit harder now I'm in Armenia. I think my main options buying from a reputable retailer here is the A6700 and the A7S III. Anything else would have to be purchased online abroad from something like eBay with some poor consumer protection options given the delivery/returns. This stuff is an incredibly niche market here!
