Affordable camera recommendations with remote capability?

INFINITY Model

By INFINITY Model, 1726483109

Hello,

I would appreciate some advice and recommendations for a good camera with remote capabilities. I am hoping to spend below £1000, and the most important criteria is remote capability for distance shoots. I have both Lightroom and Photoshop, and want to be able to tether to my laptop. The make is irrelevant, as long as it can perform and capture quality shots.

I currently have a Leica, it's a great little camera but unfortunately it's not compatible with software like CaptureOne, photoshop etc. It does have its own Leica remote app which is a phone app, so can only provide connectivity through my phone when shooting remotely, which frankly can be a pain...

Would appreciate advice and recommendations, please 😊

A Canon EOS 250D would be a good option - you should be able to get the camera and a couple of lenses for less than your budget.

Thank you all, great recommendations. I will compare specs and prices.

I have just bought the D750's big brother, A second hand d850. There is a vast range of lenses available for these F mount cameras, And now that Nikon is going all mirrorless with the Z mount lenses, The high quality F mount lenses can be had at very reasonable prices especially on the second hand market.
