If you're just an influencer, pretty much any decent mirrorless will take good photos and will let you wifi them straight to your phone for your social media presence.

If you want something more serious, pick whichever Nikon/Canon you can afford and gram some lenses. Both systems have dirt cheap 50mm f/1.8 lenses, which will do most of what you need. You can spend a little more on an 85mm f/1.8 for tighter portraits, and a cheap macro lens for detail shots. All in all, you should be fine with about $1200 of glass new, or just about $800 used. The glass is more important than the body.

Both Nikon and Canon have great entry level options, and some very nice lenses for cheap. Grab whatever body you can get a good deal on, and slap a 50mm f/1.8 on it. Ignore the kit lens. This setup will last you pretty much forever unless you decide you want to be serious about low light action or sports.

All you spergs with your DSLRs are wrong and you should consider purchasing a digital rangefinder such as a Leica or, if poorfag like me, a Fuji X series

Any film camera recs?

Nikon is probably the best system for film, as they've never changed their 35mm lens mount. There's always hundreds of lenses on used markets, and some of the best ones are pretty cheap.
For colour film, there is no better camera than the F5. Its metering for colour is amazing, and I swear it seems to autofocus faster than pretty much any current model digital camera I've ever used.
For a walkabout camera, I use an F2 with a 60mm macro lens. It's an all manual camera, but it's built tough and looks pretty.

One thing no one seems to talk about with film is the limitations of having a roll of film in the camera. If you've got iso100 film loaded, you need to get the roll shot before it gets dark or you can't shoot until tomorrow. If you don't finish your iso1600 roll that night, the next day when you go to shoot you'll need to shoot with a tiny aperture, which means you won't be able to blur backgrounds until you finish that roll.

The f90x is super affordable, has awesome metering and flash compatibility, fast af and will work with modern, much better quality lenses.

You should be shooting mf as a minimum though really, and mf is a case of user preference.

For fashion, used Canon 5D classic is best in entry level price range.

I'll go ahead and present a contrary opinion wrt the Nikon thing. With the exception of pre-AI lenses, which are mostly useless on modern Nikons (like from the F4 on), every Nikkor lens costs an arm and a dick precisely because they're both compatible to modern Nikon DSLRs, but also they perform spookily well on Nikon's sensor technology. Put in other words, Nikon glass aged real well. So now an eighties 50mm f/1.4 costs 200€ in good condition, even if it's manual focus, even if the modern 50mm f/1.4G costs a couple of hundred more than that and has glass doped with unicorn shavings.

But if you're happy shooting 50mm all day errday, then certainly the F5 or F100 or F2 or F3, or some FM/FA/FE class women's camera possibly as well, won't be a bad get. However it'll cost hundreds of eurobux to get a decent setup.

In the other corner we've got stuff like the Olympus OM-2. More a F3 than an F2 in terms of technology, generally these can be had for under a hundred with a 50-50 decent 50mm f/1.8. And they're tiny for a SLR, perfect fit for /p/'s lady hands. Lenses aren't compatible to any other SLR system, so only the crop-useful ones (24mm and below, over 200mm) and prestige lenses (f/1.4 anything) are expensive.

So, that.

For fashion, lighting and social skills are more important than your camera.

What kind of fashion photography?

Studio? Or on the catwalk?

Is the Sony ILCE7SM2/B worth the price if I intend to use it for film making? Just asking before I make such an investment and was wondering if there were any better alternatives.

No investments make money, this is jus spending.

But yes, it blows every other body out of the water for video.
