Sony or Canon or Fuji?

Sony for AF and video, Canon for photos and colours, Fuji for film simulations and design. No wrong answer.

Helpful for video, not critical for stills if you have good technique. Fuji X-S20 has it, most others in this range do not.

Best budget lens to add?

A fast 35mm-equivalent prime. Biggest image quality jump from the kit lens.

Is the kit lens worth keeping?

Yes for travel and learning. Replace it only when you feel limited, typically after 6-12 months.

Lens Recommendations

Sony: 35mm f/1.8 OSS (Rs 55,000) or Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (Rs 30,000)
Fuji: 23mm f/2 (Rs 42,000), 35mm f/1.4 (Rs 52,000)
Canon: RF 50mm f/1.8 (Rs 15,000) - best value prime in the market
Nikon: Z DX 24mm f/1.7 (Rs 24,000)

Why Not Full-Frame?

At Rs 1 lakh you can get a used Sony A7 III body, but lenses start at Rs 40,000 for decent primes. APS-C system including 2 lenses is cheaper and lighter.

Verdict

For YouTubers: Sony ZV-E10 II. For photo-first hobbyists: Fuji X-S20. For family/wildlife: Canon EOS R10. All three are excellent; pick on lens ecosystem, not sensor.
