Camera Buying Advice What do you recommend?

I want to buy a camera to start learning filmmaking. I know there are lots of things to learn, and it’s not just about the camera. However, my sister is planning to buy one, and she’s giving me the opportunity to choose a camera that would also be suitable for me to learn with.

I’ve looked at so many options, but the one that consistently appears in camera tier lists is the Sony ZV-E10. However, I don’t know which version to choose or whether there are any better alternatives.

Could you recommend a camera that would suit my needs without costing too much? I don’t want to spend more than $700. I know that’s quite a lot of money for someone with no experience, but, as I mentioned, my sister needs a camera for work and has given me the chance to look into the options.

(1) Budget, country, and currency: 700 dollars or 12 thousand pesos. In Mexico

(2) What equipment, if any, you have now and why is it no longer meeting your needs? I do not have equipment. It will be my first time.

(3) What kinds of subjects do you intend to shoot? Landscapes primarily.

(4) Is it primarily for photography, videography, or both? both, but I´d rather videography
