The camera I recommend to most new photographers is not a Sony or Panasonic (and it's $200 off)
Briefly

The Canon R100 is a lightweight, compact mirrorless camera aimed at beginner photographers, offering a 24-megapixel sensor and 4K video capability for easy photography.
Canon’s intuitive menu design paired with a comfortable dial-and-button layout allows new photographers to start shooting quickly, enhancing the overall experience.
Despite its small size, the R100 delivers high-quality images and videos, proving that lightweight cameras can also provide exceptional performance.
The placement of the shutter button and rear buttons on the R100 ensures ease of use even for photographers with larger hands, promoting a better shooting experience.
