I was asked by a family member for my advice on the best beginner mirrorless camera deals for a budget of $800, and I surprised myself with the answer. 

I chose the Nikon Z30, the Canon EOS R100, and the Sony a6400. Each ranked highly in our reviews and each is capable of capturing beautiful images. They are also very well priced and easy for beginners to use.
