Do you have existing Sony lenses? If not, consider another brand. I have a Nikon D90 when a few lenses, the lenses worth more than the camera body.
So I might stick with Nikon for the next DSLR.
If you have nothing, the Canon Rebel series are great.
If you go with Sony just for the mega-pixels, refine your search. Full frame mirror-less sensors are what's hot these days, but the lenses are not cheap.
FWIW, anything above 16 mega-pixels will be beautiful, and that can shoot HD video 1920x1080p @ 30 FPS. So that could be the base-line, work from that on up.
Because of my lenses, my D90 does much better than my Samsung S7 - even though the S7 has a higher mega-pixel.
So my beef against Sony - limited lens choices - you need adapters for everything other lens manufacturer.
I would consider ebay as a place to start. A great lens from 30 years ago is still a great lens if has no scratches. Will save you a fortune on glass and can find some very nice prime and zoom lenses
I bought my kit from a pro photographer that was looking to upgrade, and with such a budget you can get a real nice used kit.
Plus a "rugged" camera body gives you street cred.
The Sony sensor on their mirrorless is outstanding - one of the best IMO - but their lack of, and expensive to buy, lenses, turns me off. Canon by far has the largest user base, thus lots of used bodys & lenses on the market.
Trust me, having 2 or 3 lenses on top of the "stock" 50mm is a lot of fun. My fav is the Tokina 100mm wide angle, I can take a pic of a wedding group 15 people wide without having to walk away over 100 feet, and yet also take a pic of a bee on a flower, or the wedding rings, with the exact same lens.
Look at Kijiji also. Look through some 50+ ads on cameras, try to see a pattern. It's like shopping for a used car, the popular ones are usually because they are good.
Like a Mazda 3 is superior to a Ford Escort.
You should see more Canon than Nikon, and most likely zero Sony.
Which one did you end up with? I was just gifted a 6300 and was curious about your experience if you went that route.Thanks everyone for the helps!!! Research at d90 and 6300
