Thats really true, i have seen really good photos with a canon t3i and a flash!! Good light is everything.
If i Dream big, i would like to get a canon R5, so i could use My RF lens but that camera is way out of My posibilities for a while..
What i aiming in middle time is a Sony alpha 7iii, that camera is really good and it got cheaper than never, last year it was at 2500$ and this year i saw it on amazon for 1300$
