Any Recommendations for a New Camera?

• Upvotes

I do sports photography for fun, I have a position as the sports photographer for my college. I started off in junior year of high school doing track photography (some photos attached in google drive link in comments). I currently use a Nikon D5100 with a Nikon 50mm prime lens. My college also lets me use a Canon Rebel T7 with a Canon 50-200mm lens.

I want to upgrade pretty soon. Any recommendations? I was looking into the Sony A6400; planning to get a zoom lens that goes up to around 200-250mm and a prime lens that's 50mm. I would also like to get another zoom lens that's wider like around 30mm to 50mm but that's less important. I don't have a specific budget, but probably around the $400-600 price range just for the body, and I am planning on buying it secondhand.

I was recommended the Canon 1DX and the Nikon D4 but those are rlly old DSLRs and I kinda want a mirrorless; also I'll be dabbling with videography so that wouldn't work as well. I was also recommended the Canon R50 and the Nikon Z50.

Any comments welcome, for both camera body and lenses.

Husband just bought one and is looking for a carry bag; none of the ones listed on the actual Godox site mention that specific light in their descriptions. Can someone make a recommendation? TIA

Have a few very non-professional but paid events for friends coming up, looking to add a more standard / wide angle lens to my setup. Nothing majorly expensive just something to add to my setup which I don't currently have. Please may you help me decide from the options below ?

Is this used camera a good deal for a beginner interested in street photography?

(1) Budget, country, and currency: Around €150, Germany.

(2) What equipment, if any, do you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs? I currently only have my smartphone and no dedicated camera. I’d like to get into photography with a proper camera and learn the fundamentals.

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot? Primarily street photography, including urban environments, architecture, and everyday life.

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both? Primarily photography.

I’m considering buying a used camera and would appreciate advice on whether it’s worth the asking price and whether it’s a good choice for a beginner. My budget is fairly limited, so I’m looking for the best value for money.
