Hey! That sounds perfect. For a climb, I’d go with a solid mid‑range body like the Sony A6400 or a Canon EOS‑M50 – both give great autofocus and image quality, and you can snag them on sale for like $800 or less if you catch a deal. Pair it with a versatile zoom like a 24‑70mm (maybe the Samyang or a used Canon 24‑105mm), which is budget‑friendly and works great on trails. Add a lightweight tripod and a weather‑sealed bag, and you’re all set. The key is to focus on the lenses and accessories that really matter for the shoot, and keep the body in the mid‑range so you’re not splurging on a full‑frame but still get sharp shots. If you hit a sale on a used full‑frame, that’s a sweet spot too. Let me know if you need help hunting for that perfect discount!

Got it, I’ll keep my eye on the A6400 and that 24‑70mm. If I spot a price drop or a bundle, I’ll ping you ASAP—sometimes the best deal pops up on a random clearance email or a last‑minute sale on Amazon or B&H. Keep comparing specs, but don’t forget to check the sensor size, autofocus performance, and battery life, especially if you’re climbing. If anything looks like a steal, I’ll drop a line so you don’t miss it!

Sounds like a plan! I’ll keep my hunting gear on standby and’ll ping you if anything pops up that’s a real bargain. In the meantime, keep an eye on those battery reviews—long climbs need a solid power bank or two. Happy scouting!
